ZERO-WASTE LIFESTYLE

Good day! I think you are all aware that waste is one of the big causes why nature suffers. Most common waste that is used in everyday life is plastic. When we go shopping, plastic bags are used to secure the goods we bought, the packaging of candies and snacks are mostly made out of plastic, and many more. That’s why the government and nature advocators advise everyone to do Zero-Waste Living.

Zero-Waste refers to waste prevention that aims for a massive change in the way materials flow through society, resulting in no waste. Through this type of living, we can lessen the rate of our waste that is a big burden to nature. To start the Zero-Waste living, we can use Zero-Waste Products. What do I mean Zero-Waste Products? Zero waste products also refer to the waste disposal method of products. This means that these products must have recyclable or disposable processes that are not harmful to health and the environment.

Here’s some list of Zero Waste Products that we can use in exchange for the products that may bring harm to our health and to nature.

• Stainless straws - it is better to use this instead of plastic straws because stainless straws are reusable, while plastic straws need to be discarded at first use.

• Eco Bags - rather than using plastic bags for your goods, it is better for the environment to use eco bags since it is reusable, and it will lessen our plastics consumption.

• Cleaning Cloths - by using cleaning cloths, we can lessen the consumption of paper towels that are used in cleaning.

• Bidet sprayer - to lessen the use of toilet paper.

There’s many more Zero-Waste Products that we can use. The list above is just an example of the zero-waste products that we can use for exchange of the products that are harmful to the environment. Besides that, we should also do the famous 3R’s, the Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. We must learn first, how to manage our waste; how to segregate our waste.

There’s more to it that we can learn, Zero-Waste is not limited to this information but, you can still do the things stated upon here for a better living and to also help our nature. We hope that you will start living a Zero-Waste Lifestyle, let’s help our nature to improve and bloom.
