Have you guys heard about this growing trend referred to as the zero waste lifestyle? It’s quite interesting - with individuals and families trying to produce as little waste as possible, embracing reusable items and composting organics. People living this lifestyle claim to fit a year’s worth of their non-compostable trash in a small jar!
It’s fascinating to see the lengths some people will go to reduce their ‘waste footprint’. They try to buy food in bulk using their own containers, make their own cleaning products or even toilet paper!
This concept has also influenced businesses around the globe. Restaurants, grocery stores, clothing brands and many other businesses have adopted zero waste principles, eliminating unnecessary packaging and making sure their production processes are sustainable.
Of course, this lifestyle won’t work for everyone, but it definitely prompts us to think about the amount of waste we personally produce. We might not be able to go completely waste free, but there are always small changes we can incorporate in our daily lives.
So, what are your thoughts? Is this something you would consider? What small changes have you made to reduce waste in your own life?
