As I watch Lauren Singer’s TED talk, I started thinking
about my lifestyle and practices at home. I consider myself a minimalist, but as
soon as Lauren enumerates things she does to live a ZERO WASTE, I assessed that
there are many things I can do personally to contribute to a zero-waste
community. I can do the following:
- · Look at my trash and assess my waste habit.
- · Make and bring my own grocery and product packages
- · Buy my produce at closest farmers market
- · Recycle my clothes
- · Get a compost unit
- · Use stainless container for my water
- · Learn to make my own products (this will be exciting)
You have great ideas Ira! I have been trying to cut back on waste as well and every bit helps. I realized that putting my produce into bags at the store was pointless and have stopped doing that. It may be a small step but I felt great saving some plastic on my shopping trips!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list Ira. I have also acknowledge the fact there are somethings I can cut back on. I'm going to start by incorporating the farmers market into my produce shopping.
