My block had a zero-waste week challenge and it went way better than I expected

Last month our neighborhood in Portland tried to produce zero trash for 7 days (compost and recycling allowed) and I was honestly shocked we hit an 80% reduction by day 3. The biggest surprise was how much we cut down on food waste just by planning meals together - has anyone else tried a community-wide waste challenge and seen real changes stick afterward?

Honestly, that sounds awesome. Meal planning together is the secret sauce for sure.

Right? My building did it last spring and meal swapping was the game changer for us.
