ZERO WASTE FOR BEGINNERS

Hey Community,

 

If you are starting your Zero waste journey and don’t know exactly where to even begin. Here is a quick guide to get you started.

 

This is inspired by Bea Johnson’s Book – Zero waste Home.

 

Step one:

REFUSE

Refuse what you do not need! Single-use plastic, Freebies, Junk mail, Unsustainable practices (stop taking business cards, buying individually wrapped kiddies snacks etc)

 

Step two:

REDUCE

Let go of unnecessary things, assess your home and declutter. Avoid mindless shopping.

 

Step Three:

REUSE

Maximize the usage of the items you own and take care of them. Carry your own shopping bags, shop from a plastic free grocer or choose products with recyclable packaging and repair what’s broken.

 

Step Four:

RECYCLE

Separate your waste and allocate a convenient recycling location in your kitchen. Check in your community on what can be recycled and what cannot be recycled.

 

Step Five:

ROT

Build a compost

 

We are putting something exciting together for the month of November for you. We believe this will help you in your journey.
