Cero Basura BCS

The Palapa Society of Todos Santos, A.C. is excited to team up with Cero Basura for the 12th Annual Todos Santos Open Studio Tour. This means we are pledging to take our event to the next level by producing ZERO waste! Each year we produce this tour we do create a lot of waste and this year we hope to reduce it significantly. Stay tuned into this page for updates and special workshops during the tour.

The Mission of Cero Basura BCS is to…
Educate. Inspire. Connect. 🌎
Our vision is a community united to produce less waste, take responsibility for the waste it does produce and to support a circular economy in which waste is repurposed by vibrant local businesses.
