Wow! My last post “8 Lovely Etsy Shops for Zero Waste Products” was a huge success! I’m so proud and glad to see that there is a rising interest in living a conscious lifestyle that supports the planet. The more waste we can eliminate from our everyday lives the closer we will be to living waste free.
What is Zero Waste?
“Zero Waste is a philosophy and a design principle for the 21st Century. It includes ‘recycling’ but goes beyond recycling by taking a ‘whole system’ approach to the vast flow of resources and waste through human society.
Zero Waste maximizes recycling, minimizes waste, reduces consumption and ensures that products are made to be reused, repaired or recycled back into nature or the marketplace.”
— GrassRoots Recycling Network
“Zero Waste poses a fundamental challenge to ‘business as usual.’ It has the potential to motivate people to change their lifestyles, demand new products, and insist that corporations and governments behave in new ways. This is a very exciting development.”
— Peter Montague, editor of Rachel’s Environment & Health Weekly
The Zero Waste trend is a lifestyle and decision to show that you care about this amazing planet. But to start on your Zero Waste lifestyle you may need a few tools in your toolkit.
Personally, I always carry around a reusable water bottle, reusable cutlery (including fork, spoon, knife, and metal straw), reusable shopping bags, handmade beeswax cling wrap, and sometimes a reusable coffee mug if I know that I’ll be indulging. The very basics for a day out and about. But zero waste products can extend to the kitchen, the nursery, the bathroom, etc. Basically, any product that is disposable should (and can) be replaced with a product that is reusable.
So let’s get to it! Support artisans as you support the health of the planet.
