Don't just swap out your current consumption for "zero waste" alternatives — consume less.
(www.theguardian.com)
Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.
We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.
I’ll meditate on the things you said. I’m sure you are right and I’m being maybe a curmudgeon. Have a good weekend
