Plastic and other wastes are causing some of the biggest strains on our environment. With a few daily adjustments, we can live a zero-waste lifestyle. All it needs is a little forethought and a lot of inspiration. These are some of the easiest changes you can make in your daily lives to bring in changes:
1.Reuse Jars and bottles
Reuse the jars and bottles in your kitchen to store food. Carry your own shopping bag and water bottle to avoid using plastic.
2.Kitchen Disposables
Replace paper towels with reusable rags, use Non-Disposable or biodegradable dinnerware & Earth-friendly sponges.
3.Buy in Bulk
Taking a few minutes of planning before you head to the grocery store can help eliminate the use of a disposable container that generates plastic waste.
4.Love your Leftovers
Forty percent of all food we make goes to waste. Create wonderful recipes with your leftovers and learn to compost whatever that cannot be salvaged.
5. Thrift Buying
Shopping second hand from thrift stores saves good clothing from a landfill and reduces the overall demand for clothing production. You will also be saving your Wallet.
6. Quality over Quantity
Buying fewer items of higher quality will save you money in the long run. It is more likely that you will mend rips than throwing them out.
7. Go Digital
Take notes on your laptop and communicate with people via e-mail rather than using paper. You can also use kindle for reading books online.
8. Recycle Bank
Introduce a recycle bin in your home, office, and School and make a game that can help to recycle goods such as paper and empty water bottles.
9. Simplify Cleaning Supplies
White Vinegar and baking soda are your new best friends. Use zero waste alternatives for all your bathroom and home cleaning supplies.
