GoZERO’s Mission, Vision, & Values

Mission

GoZERO’s mission is to

strengthen our environment, society, and economy by 

inspiring active self determination in individuals and organizations through

catalytic, convenient, and accessible food waste stewardship platform services because

we don't inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.


Vision

i.e. ”GoZERO’s 2020 Vision”

This vision, initially written in 2020, is intended to serve as a point of origin that year after year GoZERO and those who partner in pursuing this vision can refer back to as a point of reference for how to engage with the world so as to see this vision come to fruition.

GoZERO’s vision is that – 

First, individuals and organizations would be and act more loving, free, self-reliant, stewardly, and charitable in their dealings with food waste, composting, and everything they do.

Second, food waste stewardship, and especially composting, would be a hotbed for unity, initiative, innovation, outcomes focus, and partnered action where the very best of the human spirit is allowed to come forward against greed, fear, and bias.

Third, GoZERO would be an inspirational/catalytic, organizational, and operational platform for igniting a viral movement helping any party that would like to do more good faster specifically but not exclusively as it relates to food waste stewardship, and composting.

To this end GoZERO is committed to investing time and treasure in order to see the world made better.
