The 30 Day BaZERO Program

The 30 Day Garbage to Garden Program took 2 years to be developed by Bokashi Pinoy Founder Lanie Francisco. It was designed to address change in mindset and behaviours around managing solid waste , particularly food waste at the household and community level. It was formally launched in March 15, 2020 in response to the Covd-19 pandemic - Enhanced Community Quarantine.

The "Think Bokashi First" mantra ensures that food waste is segregated properly so that it does not contaminate non- biodegradable waste. Once food waste and yard waste is properly managed, recyclables get sorted and collected "as clean as possible", before it gets to recycling facilities. Hence on the first year anniversary of the 30 Day Garbage to Garden Program, we renamed it to 30 Day BaZERO program to be more encompassing and embrace its “Think Bokashi First” Mantra, but not forgetting non-biodegradable waste as a focus area.

Vision

Divert food waste away from landfills to regenerate farm lands towards food sustainability. Reduce smelly food waste and pests in food establishments
