M11.5 Blog about a Zero Waste Life


A zero waste life is a difficult but doable concept but it does a commitment and I think it is manageable to do. There are some small steps you can take to live a zero waste life. I think first every person needs to establish your “why.” Everyone decides to do it but I believe it is difficult to initiate it. Most people need discipline to attempt to make moves to create a zero waste lifestyle, including myself. Some small changes though I can make is assessing my waste first. Seeing how much waste and how much I am contributing to waste. The easiest place for us to start is assessing what kind of waste I am collecting and how to prioritize what waste I have. There are area’s of waste from my lifestyle that I must assess.

Again, I believe it does not happen overnight and I think we should try to first understand the process to understand.I also think we need to commit to having a zero waste life. It is difficult to commit to these things first but I believe it does help. Another things I believe we need to do is try to help others to commit to a zero life and have them help our environment.We must attempt to make a collective effort to change the environment when it comes to creating a zero waste life. We must try to encourage all to limit our waste usage. I also think we can start by educating each other on a zero waste lifestyle by helping each other with limiting waste.

  1. Hi Snay,
    I agree with you zero waste lifestyle is difficult but it is doable. Educating oneself and assessment of how we live our life's is the first step, then small continual changes we can live a zero waste life. I'm trying to implement few small changes and I've encouraged my friends and family to do the same. These small changes can make a collective global impact.

  2. Hi Snay,

    I agree with establishing a "why". Often this can serve as our guiding reason and a reminder when we find it challenging to stick to something like a zero waste life. I agree that it can be difficult to initiate, but those small changes that you suggest are great first steps. Are there any specific small changes you've made in your life besides being more mindful of . your waste contribution? For example, I've started using cloth sandwich and snack bags for my food, eliminating my plastic waste contribution. I also recycle paper bags when I go grocery shopping in order to avoid plastic bag waste.
