In Memory Of
Terry Taylor 1947-2025
It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of Terry Taylor. Terry was a founding member of both Waste Less Windsor and WeAct. Terry was a great inspiration and a tireless warrior in protecting the environment of Windsor, Sonoma County and beyond. But most of all, Terry was a truly great human being and a friend to all. It was an honor to work with him and to know him. WeAct will continue to advocate for and act on Windsor environmental issues but his passing leaves all of us with a heavy heart. Rest in peace dear friend.
WeAct joins the Waste Less Alliance Family!
We are excited that as of March 6, 2024, WeAct became a subsidiary of Waste Less Alliance, a local organization classified as a 501(c)3 non-profit under federal guidelines. Besides the tremendous advantages of an affiliation with Waste Less Alliance, WeAct is now able to access local resources for non-profits, accept contributions, and compete for state and federal grants and projects.
