    logo_inspirationofsedonaSedona AZ (April 20, 2017) – On Thursday, April 27th, at 6:30PM, Inspiration of Sedona will present the Arizona encore premiere of Racing to Zero: In Pursuit of Zero Waste. This will be followed by an open, public discussion and presentation with Jean Turocy, Education and Outreach Coordinator of Sedona Recycles, (www.sedonarecycles.org).

    Only one third of the waste in the United States is recycled or composted. Why? Industry, through its practice of planned obsolescence, plays a major role; our lives are almost totally dependent on un-recyclable petroleum products. In order to reach zero waste, we need to change our relationship to garbage and view the things we discard as resources rather than waste.

    20170420_racingRACING TO ZERO examines today’s cultural garbage practices in terms of consumption, preparation, use and production, and discovers some amazing solutions in San Francisco, which is successfully taking the necessary steps to reach zero waste.

    Three years ago the mayor of San Francisco pledged to achieve zero waste by 2020. Racing to Zero tracks San Francisco’s waste stream diversion tactics and presents innovative new solutions to waste. This film documents a surprising, engaging and inspiring race to zero. See trailer at: racingtozero.com.

    After the film, Jean Turocy, Education and Outreach Coordinator of Sedona Recycles, (www.sedonarecycles.org), will join us for the discussion to present some hands-on examples of recycling and composting, and be available to answer questions. This is a special opportunity to become more informed and learn about the variety of things you can recycle, many of which you may not be aware of.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
