Campaigns No Waste November A global movement to inspire change one small action at a time. View the Calendar Ready to unleash a big impact with a tiny tweak? Well you’ve landed in the perfect spot! No Waste November is a worldwide initiative started by young Roots & Shoots leaders from Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, England, and New Zealand back in 2017. These leaders spent a week with Dr. Jane Goodall at Windsor Castle in England, collaborating with other Roots & Shoots representatives and together developed the No Waste November challenge. Their goal has become a global movement, inspiring young people worldwide to make small commitments in reducing or eliminating waste in their everyday lives.
