Why Zero Waste
Is the idea of zero waste overwhelming to you? I’m sure many us feel that way, and we don’t know where to start and how.
But it doesn’t have to be like that! There are lots of baby steps we can take to get started on this journey toward sustainable urban living, without feeling like we’re trying to make a huge change all at once. Here are some of the reasons why having a zero-waste lifestyle is WORTH a try.
1. Life is simpler and clutter-free.
2. Natural is chemical-free and healthy.
Most of the produce available at stores are farmed with pesticides which are harmful to our body. If we could grow our green onions or tomatoes at home, it would lessen our chance to be exposed to toxic chemicals.
3. You’re making a difference in protecting the environment.
Always remember that even small changes have a big impact. By reducing the amount of trash, we’re also cutting down on the amount of carbon dioxide that’s released into the atmosphere from landfills and incinerators.
4. The best part is we save money by reusing, and growing food.
This is the best benefit of practicing zero-waste living. This can help us focus on spending our valued money on more important aspects of our life like health and education.
