Not using single-use plastics is one of the simplest and most efficient strategies to decrease trash. This includes straws, water bottles, plastic bags, and cutlery.
The US wastes 30-40% of its food supply. Plan meals in advance and just purchase what you need at the grocery store to prevent food waste.
Buy in bulk to save money and prevent waste. Buy grains, nuts, and dried fruit in bulk to decrease packing and waste. Fill your own or the bulk store's containers with the things you need.
Switching to low-waste and refillable cleaning products reduces plastic bottle use at home. Cleaning concentrates from several manufacturers may be put into refillable bottles.
Besides shopping bags and water bottles, many additional reusable goods may help you live a zero-waste lifestyle. Replace throwaway things with cloth napkins, beeswax wraps.
Try to recycle old clothes, glass bottles, paper boxes, and other items so they may be reused. Recycling isn't perfect, but it's better than landfills!
Mindless consumption is possible with social media advertisements and mail-in catalogs. However, mindful consumerism involves awareness of your purchasing patterns and conscientious purchases.
Composting may minimize food waste in landfills, making it an important aspect of your zero-waste lifestyle. Food leftovers and yard debris may be composted to enrich your plant.
