ZERO WASTE
Refuse: This involves saying „no“ to free stuff that becomes instant waste, such as single-use plastics like disposable coffee cups, utensils, and straws. It’s about accepting only what you need and refusing the rest.
Reduce: This involves being mindful about what you need and want, and reducing what you’re purchasing. Before making purchases, ask yourself if you really need the item. If you do, try to find the best quality in your budget. Well-made products will last longer, reducing the times you’ll need to repurchase.
Reuse: This involves finding ways to reuse items instead of throwing them away. For example, you can use cloth napkins instead of paper ones, or refillable water bottles instead of disposable ones.
Recycle: This involves recycling items that cannot be refused, reduced, or reused. It’s important to note that recycling should be the last resort, as it still requires energy and resources to recycle items.
Rot: This involves composting organic waste, such as food scraps and yard waste, to create nutrient-rich soil for plants.
