Zero Waste(ish)
"Zero waste" is a pretty intimidating term isn't it?
The whole idea of a Zero Waste lifestyle is to send nothing to landfill. And not only that, but to really crack down on recycling as well - making full use of the waste hierarchy, and refusing, reducing and reusing wherever possible.
And there are some people who do indeed live a pretty much zero waste life. Who can fit all their rubbish from 3 years (or more) inside a small glass jar.
I however, am not one of them.
I prefer to think of it as a journey - a journey towards 'less waste' to landfill, and a more thoughtful approach when I'm buying stuff as to what I'll do with it once I'm done. It's not perfect. I'm not perfect. It's Zero Waste (ish)...
Below are some blog posts and podcasts that fit into the 'zero waste' category - everything from food waste apps, through to wormeries, through to reusable baby wipes.
And to the right is a list of suggestions for actions you might like to take, or challenges you might like to set. How many can you already tick off? (It's absolutely ok if the answer is a big fat hairy zero at the moment!). What one thing could you tackle this week/month?
