M11.5 A Zero Waste Life


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)

  1. 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!

  2. This 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.
