Zero Waste

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.

Make a compost pile.
I only have two humans and a dog in my household but we typically only generate one kitchen bag of trash a week by diverting a lot of our cardboard and food scraps into a small compost pile.
