We’re partnering with rePurpose Global to collect and remove 100 nature-bound plastic pouches from the environment for every VERGE Net Zero attendee. Low-value waste will be collected, upcycled and processed at a rePurpose Impact project, Sueño Azul in Colombia that empowers waste pickers to tackle plastic waste.

rePurpose Global is the world's leading Plastic Action Platform dedicated to reducing waste, reviving lives, and restoring nature's balance. Today, they are a movement of conscious businesses and consumers taking action on their plastic footprint by empowering innovators on the frontline.

We will symbolically balance VERGE Net Zero's water footprint with the help of Bonneville Environmental Foundation and Change the Course, restoring approximately 820,000 gallons of freshwater to critically dewatered rivers and streams. Change the Course, a program of the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, is a first-of-its-kind initiative that brings together the public, corporations and on-the-ground conservation organizations to raise awareness about freshwater issues, reduce water footprints and directly support water restoration projects. Change the Course is the leading corporate water restoration and engagement campaign. The initiative has received contributions from over 70 corporate sponsors; supported over 265 water projects across 25 U.S. states, Canada and Mexico; and restored over 36.7 billion gallons of water to date.
