GreenLight Solutions at Oktoberfest: How Waste Diversion is Shaping the Future of Festivals11/20/2025
In 2025, our Green Team achieved a 52% waste diversion rate, a major leap from last year’s 37%. Over just three years, we’ve gone from 32% → 37% → 52%, marking the highest diversion rate in Oktoberfest history. The impact didn’t stop there. Waste Diversion Stats: #Starving the Landfill
Despite intense weather—including microbursts and heavy rain—our team powered through. In total, we diverted nearly 21 tons of CO₂, the equivalent of:
Weathering the Microburst: Volunteer Voices from the Storm Volunteer Matthew DePasquale described the experience as witnessing a, “30-yard long dumpster filled to the brim with recyclable materials”—all saved from the landfill and ready to be repurposed. He also noted that the team went back during the final two days--even in the rain—to ensure nothing recyclable was left behind.  This year’s efforts were especially impressive given that during the festival, Tempe was hit by a severe microburst in which straight-line winds of 80–90 mph tore through neighborhoods, prompting Mayor Corey Woods to declare a city-wide state of emergency. The storm left an estimated 500 trees lost within the city’s park system alone and required extensive cleanup and community coordination. That level of dedication from the GreenLight Solutions team—delivering a major waste-diversion win even amidst a recovery period—truly embodies the spirit of our organization. How Waste Diversion Supports Local Businesses Reducing event waste isn’t only an environmental win—it also benefits local businesses and communities. Recycled materials can be transformed into new products, support local circular economies, and even contribute to feeding those in our community experiencing homelessness. The success of this year’s diversion efforts shows what’s possible when sustainability becomes part of event culture. Oktoberfest is now setting the standard for eco-friendly festivals in Arizona, and we’re excited to build on this momentum for years to come.

GreenLight Solutions at the Best of Arizona Gala: Celebrating Sustainability Through Action11/19/2025  GreenLight Solutions proudly supported this year’s Best of Arizona Gala, helping manage composting, recycling, and all sustainability efforts. And once again--GreenLight Solutions delivered. Just like last year, the event achieved an impressive 90% waste diversion rate, officially qualifying it as a zero-waste event. Sustainability Impact You Can MeasureHosted by Green Living Magazine, the gala celebrated Arizona’s most inspiring environmental changemakers. Guests enjoyed incredible food; powerful performances from a poet, choir, and comedian; and engaging tabling from local organizations. The atmosphere was vibrant, community-driven, and filled with purpose—and the sustainability impact matched the energy. Thanks to coordinated waste-diversion efforts, the event successfully prevented significant emissions. The CO₂ impact alone equated to:
These numbers reflect just how intentional and meaningful sustainability can be at a single gathering. A Night Honoring Arizona’s Eco-Leaders Thank you to every volunteer, staff member, and partner who supported this event. Your commitment and attention to detail are what make zero-waste events possible. Your work truly moves our mission forward.
A heartfelt thank-you to our event partners and sponsors—your support makes zero-waste events like the Best of Arizona Gala possible and helps amplify sustainability throughout our community.
Event Date: October 23, 2025 GreenLight Solutions proudly supported the third annual Going Green Summit, hosted by the Compass CBS Foundation, achieving an impressive 79% waste diversion rate. This year’s summit brought together founders, leaders, and community members who are passionate about sustainability—and ready to take meaningful action. Panel Discussion: Inspiring Everyday Sustainability GreenLight Solutions’ CEO, Ashley Weisman, shared practical ways individuals can integrate sustainability into daily life. One example she highlighted was the power of shopping local, which not only supports the community but also reduces transportation emissions and resource use. Ashley emphasized that small, consistent choices—when made collectively—create a measurable environmental impact.
Innovation at the Heart of SustainabilityLong-time GreenLight Solutions volunteer Matthew DePasquale shared that if he could describe GLS in one word, it would be “Innovative.” As technology evolves, so do the opportunities to reduce waste, repurpose materials, and design smarter systems. Bill reinforced this theme by showcasing new tools and technologies that help minimize food waste and transform scraps into valuable resources. The Going Green Summit underscored a powerful truth: sustainability thrives when people are willing to learn, share ideas, and embrace innovation. Investing in new technologies—and maintaining open, forward-thinking mindsets—helps communities grow stronger and more resilient.

 Green Living Magazine and GreenLight Solutions Green Team is thrilled to celebrate another sustainability milestone— achieving 78% waste diversion at The Future of Sustainability 2025. This accomplishment is a testament to what’s possible when collaboration, passion, and purpose come together.
achieving a 81% diversion rate. These results reflect the commitment of the Pat Tillman Foundation to reducing environmental impact and setting a standard for sustainable events.
Supporting the Community Beyond reducing waste, Pat’s Run gave back to the local community in meaningful ways. Through partnerships and food recovery efforts, we helped make sure no resource went unused. Our rescued food supported local food banks and shelters, providing nourishment to individuals and families facing food insecurity. The ripple effect of these efforts is felt long after race day.

One youth Solutioneer reflected, “It was great to be able to once again be in the sustainability space as a non-student, especially with these resources and support,”' capturing the program’s ability to empower participants regardless of their academic status." Guided by GreenLight’s structured project cycle and supported by dedicated Solutioneer Mentors and Project Partners alike, participants developed creative solutions and delivered impactful results—all within a condensed timeline of just seven weeks and fourteen workshops! It was no small feat, and their achievements are something to be celebrated. Mobilizing Change with Third Act The first project team partnered with Third Act, an organization committed to mobilizing Americans over 60 to take meaningful climate action. The team’s challenge was to engage this demographic in a way that inspired participation and fostered community outreach. Through thoughtful research and creative problem-solving, the team developed and distributed 20 visually engaging posters and proposed 10 specific and actionable strategies to promote civic engagement in climate action and democracy locally. By tailoring event ideas to align with Third Act’s values, they created a roadmap for impactful community mobilization. Along the way, the students gained valuable experience in outreach, communication, and innovative problem-solving, making a lasting impact on the organization and their own skill sets.
The team adopted a few different approaches, including digital marketing and in-person engagement. They connected with community members at a local farmers’ market and reached out to green businesses through targeted email campaigns. Their efforts laid the groundwork for securing 6+ new subscriptions, a testament to their strategic thinking and dedication. This project emphasized the importance of clear communication and adaptability when working towards sustainability goals. Building Momentum with WormLab Community Initiative As one of two WormLab teams, this community initiative focused on promoting its pilot program and building strategic partnerships. This project presented an exciting opportunity to help WormLab effectively communicate its vision for revolutionizing composting systems. The team crafted 1 infographic illustrating the WormLab process, 1 digital pitch deck showcasing the program’s benefits, and 1 feedback survey for continuous improvement. They also developed 1 prospect list of potential partners, equipping WormLab with the tools to expand its reach. By diving deep into the organization’s mission and translating it into compelling materials, the students enhanced their skills in stakeholder engagement and effective storytelling. Innovating for Municipal Partnerships with WormLab Inground Innovators The WormLab Inground Innovators team took on a project to help WormLab foster partnerships with municipalities for advancing closed-loop composting systems. Their challenge was to clearly convey WormLab’s value to municipal stakeholders. Through research and first-hand experience with a food recycler, the team created 1 detailed pitch deck and 1 engaging video to demonstrate how the program aligns with municipal sustainability goals. This polished presentation will serve as a key tool in WormLab’s efforts to build meaningful partnerships. The project underscored the importance of aligning values, refining messaging, and effectively presenting ideas to diverse audiences.
Throughout this Bootcamp, students experienced the full arc of GreenLight’s project cycle—from initial research and strategy development to delivering tangible solutions. Each team tackled unique challenges, collaborated effectively, and delivered meaningful results for their Project Partners. Whether they were creating outreach strategies, developing marketing tools, or aligning organizational goals with sustainability values, these students showcased creativity, perseverance, and dedication. This experience also demonstrated the power of networking and collaboration, as one Solutioneer was invited to join a youth panel at a Third Act event featuring renowned figures Bill McKibben and Rebecca Solnit during their Silver Wave Tour.
This Bootcamp wasn’t just about sustainability—it was about growth, learning, and making real-world impact. The students have much to be proud of, and their work is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation. Here’s to another successful season of GreenLight Bootcamp projects, and to the bright futures of these talented participants and impactful organizations! As a sustainability volunteer with GreenLight Solutions, I recently had the opportunity to help with a very special mission: Maximize waste diversion at VIVA Phoenix! Our Green Team was ready to achieve this mission through recycling, composting, and raising awareness.
As the music played, we alternated between shifts of Waste Sorting and Bin Guarding. Volunteering at a music festival brought together two things I love—live music and environmental action. By picking up litter and raising awareness, I felt like we were creating a cleaner, greener space for everyone to enjoy. However, it wasn’t all hard work; there were plenty of perks to being a Green Team member:
4. Personal Growth and New Skills: Being part of the Green Team pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me a lot about communicating with people from all walks of life. I learned to speak confidently about waste reduction and sustainability, which is something I’ll carry into future experiences. 5. A Lasting Cultural Shift: Festivals like VIVA Phoenix bring thousands of people together. When they see volunteers making a positive environmental impact, it leaves a lasting impression. Many people told us they were inspired to start recycling or composting more because of what they learned from us.  As the festival wrapped up, our Green Team gathered to celebrate our successes. We’d made a visible difference, and the festival grounds were noticeably cleaner. Knowing we’d helped divert waste and educate the public made every moment worth it. We left VIVA Phoenix feeling empowered, knowing our efforts contributed to a cleaner, greener festival experience and a more informed community. The Green Team delivered and the Valley of the Sun reaped the benefits. Author: Ty Cowie

Since then, the Green Team has executed another 23 events in 2024, honings the team’s collective skills and expertise. For the 2024 golf tournament, the Green Team had twelve Green Team staff and volunteers to support on the ground efforts and achieved 57% waste diversion. The Green Team executed multiple strategies to maximize waste diversion from the landfill:
Our impact
Thank You To Our Partners!
And of course, thank you to our Green Team staff and volunteers! None of this would be possible without the boots on the ground doing the dirty work to execute our waste diversion strategy on site. Cheers to another successful Leslie’s Charity Golf Tournament. May 2025 achieve our highest diversion yet. Author: Kirsten Kierum

 A Hands-On Approach
At the heart of GreenLight Solutions’ impact at the summit were the “boots on the ground”—our team of staff worked to make waste diversion more than just a goal. Each staff stationed themselves near trash bins throughout the venue, helping attendees navigate the world of recycling and composting. With an educational approach, they explained which items of trash belonged in each bin. This both contributed to the achieved waste diversion rate and inspired attendees to take sustainable habits home with them. However, mistakes still occur. Volunteers also took on the crucial task of Top Sorting, or moving items thrown in the wrong bin into the proper one. Then behind the scenes, GreenLight Solutions staff took on the responsibility of completing the full Waste Sort, meaning that they went through every bin from top to bottom to ensure that every item that could be recycled or composted, did! Partnering for Success While GreenLight Solutions led the charge, achieving an 80% waste diversion rate was a collaborative effort that wouldn’t have been possible without supporters. Mill and Waste Management believes in GreenLight Solution’s mission and is dedicated to propelling them forward. With R.City’s expertise in composting, all organic waste collected at the summit was turned into valuable, nutrient-dense compost, reducing landfill use and supporting sustainable agricultural practices in the Phoenix area. The City of Tempe contributed essential recycling and landfill services. Then last, but not least, GreenLight Solutions wouldn’t have had the opportunity to make this impact if it wasn’t for the organization behind the event: Compass CBS Foundation. Thank you to everyone who supported the Green Team and helped to make this impact possible. These partnerships went beyond valuable resources—they reflected a shared commitment to sustainability and held a high standard for collaboration in environmental initiatives. Together, they proved that building a sustainable future requires networks of support and expertise beyond individual action. Celebrating a Sustainability Successful Model The Going Green and Going Smart Summit illustrated what’s possible when a community unites with a commitment to sustainability. Through our Green Event Services, the Green Team showcased that high waste diversion rates aren’t just achievable—they are essential to creating a positive environmental impact. Every piece of compost, recyclable, and educated attendee contributed to the summit’s mission, highlighting that sustainable practices aren't just realistic, but also transformative.

She is passionate about environmental issues and enjoys working on impactful projects in her community.  Green Event Services at GreenLight Solutions has one main goal: #StarvetheLandfill. For an event to be considered “zero waste,” a 90% average diversion rate is typically required. It is safe to say that our mission was accomplished! We proudly report that the Green Team achieved 90% waste diversion from the landfill. But how did the Green Team make this happen? Many different things are required to maximize waste diversion potential. GreenLight Solutions works hard to strategize how to make events as low waste as possible, but new heights can be reached when the event hosts truly care about sustainability. Green Living Magazine was dedicated to making their Best of Arizona Awards Party event sustainable. They had multiple pre-event calls and site visits with the Green Team to ensure that the most efficient Waste Diversion protocol was in place. Green Living Magazine also committed to Sustainable Sourcing by choosing porcelain, reusable dishware, and recyclable wine glasses. Whatever couldn’t be reused or recycled was compostable. “From planning waste diversion logistics to the sourcing of sustainable materials, sustainability was at the forefront of Green Living Magazine’s event planning, and not an afterthought.” Of course, this would not have been possible if it wasn’t for those who support the Green Team. None of what was accomplished would be possible without all these people and organizations working together in their care for the planet.
 As reducing landfill waste helps minimize environmental impact, to #StarvetheLandfill contributes to a healthier community. The sustainability success story celebrated at the Best of Arizona Awards Party serves as a beacon of hope for Arizonans, promising a brighter future for current and future generations.

Maybe I have a bias because I am from Washington, but it should not be over 100 degrees in October! However, the heat reminded us of why we came out to volunteer in the first place. Arizona was already hot, but it is just going to get hotter as conditions worsen due to climate change. Climate change and other environmental issues are complex problems. These are problems stretched across our global system, with multiple stakeholders and interconnected causes, effects, and solutions.
When I started my internship with GreenLight Solutions, I simultaneously began working with the Next Generation Service Corps (NGSC) at Arizona State University. NGSC’s goal is to teach students how to solves complex issues through cross-sectoral collaboration. This year I am the lead of Mission Team 22: Environmental Sustainability. Mission teams are groups of students in NGSC who have a passion for a particular social mission, and then work on projects to make a positive impact by learning, networking, volunteering, and planning impactful events. One of my goals for our mission team was to connect with as many environmentalists as possible in the Tempe area; so my internship with GreenLight Solutions was the perfect opportunity! The Green Team was recruiting volunteers, and my mission team was looking for opportunities to get involved with sustainability initiatives; so this was a perfect match to partner the two organizations. I brought members from my NGSC mission team to volunteer with me during the 3 days of Oktoberfest. I didn’t realize it then, but this was the perfect example of how cross-sectoral collaboration can be implemented at a large-scale event that targets environmental sustainability.
Four Peaks Oktoberfest is a collaboration between Tempe Sister Cities and Four Peaks Brewing. These two groups partnered with dozens of vendors and organizations and came together to create a memorable event for the community. For the past two years, Tempe Sister Cities also partnered with GreenLight Solutions to showcase its Commitment to Sustainability. GreenLight Solutions brought its whole network of passionate collaborators to maximize waste diversion from the landfill. This partnership means that the maximum amount of fun doesn’t need to come at the expense of the environment. The Green Team consisted of 38 volunteers and 51 staff members responsible for the on-site Waste Sorting, Attendee Education, and Custodial Services. The Green Team met people where they were, whether they just wanted a weekend job, needed volunteer hours, or were already passionate about sustainability. The Green Team is made possible through collaborations with Mill, Waste Management, Phoenix Toolbank Equipment, R.City, City of Tempe, and ROTC.  The Green Team rescued these valuable resources:
Overall, the Green Team recycled 6,800 pounds and composted 1,030 pounds. This is equivalent to 11 tons of CO2 emissions avoided, which is around 29,000 miles driven and 735,000 smartphones charged! In three days alone, GreenLight Solutions created a space where cross-sectoral collaborations solved complex challenges and made a direct impact. Thank you to all of those who made this possible.

At GreenLight Solutions, we are committed to fostering environmental stewardship through innovative educational programs. Our Greenlight Bootcamp is one such initiative that empowers students to tackle real-world sustainability challenges. This Summer, two dynamic teams, Project Team MAMYY and Project Team Sams, embarked on inspiring projects to promote residential composting in South Scottsdale. Here’s a closer look at their journey, strategies, and impactful outcomes. Project Team MAMYY: Boosting Residential Composting  Challenges:
Project Team MAMYY faced the pressing issue of low composting participation and excessive food waste in South Scottsdale. Solution: Their goal was to acquire 15 new customers for residential composting services by a set deadline.  As a student attending the Living For a New Age event in April, I had no idea how beneficial this event was going to be.
A little back story on what this event was, Living For a New Age is a meeting where multiple companies, eco-leaders, environmentalists, and changemakers come together to discuss their business ideas, what they’re implementing, and changing to complete one common goal, making our world a greener and cleaner place to live.  Ashley Weisman, Executive Director of GreenLight Solutions, was interviewed by Kim Coates from LocalFi about her passion for sustainability and GLS. Weisman shares her experience and insights from her years of working with GreenLIght Solutions and more!

Breaking Barriers: Inclusivity in Small to Medium-Sized Businesses Through Sustainability Reporting5/24/2024  By Sarah Kistner and Miranda Padron
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's a critical component for long-term success and societal impact. Large corporations have been at the forefront of sustainability initiatives for years, leveraging sophisticated tools and resources to track and report their environmental and social performance. However, there's a noticeable gap when it comes to small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) embracing sustainability reporting. Despite their significant collective impact, SMEs often lack the resources and infrastructure to effectively monitor and communicate their sustainability efforts. Greenlight Solutions, in collaboration with Infosol, aim to bridge that gap by developing a reporting dashboard that is tailored to SMES. The dashboard will enable companies to input data, set baselines, and test scenarios to reduce their ecological footprint.  Overview and Purpose
