As social change makers, we believe in the power of the individual to make small changes within their daily lives to protect the planet and combat climate change. At Habits of Waste, our goal is to activate large numbers of people with accessible behavior changes to collectively have a greater impact than a few people doing it “perfectly.”

At Habits of Waste we provide solutions, allowing individuals to live more eco-consciously without overwhelm.

We all have a role to play. Join our campaigns for a variety of actions that you can take to make a positive environmental impact today.

Background: Our founder, Sheila Morovati, sees habitual waste throughout society and creates change to protect our environment. She successfully spearheaded the historic ban on single-use plastic straws and cutlery in the City of Malibu. Sheila realized that an iconic beach city like Malibu would create the ripple effect that was so necessary to create change.

Malibu was the first city to make such a ban go into effect and the number of cities and countries that followed suit is awe-inspiring. Since then, Sheila created numerous campaigns that have effected change such as #CutOutCutlery, which successfully convinced Uber Eats, Postmates, Doordash and Grubhub to change the default setting in their applications so that users only receive plastic cutlery upon request. This campaign is ongoing.
