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.

Honestly I find the easiest way to start is just to stay engaged in places where you'll see ideas, like this community, or on YouTube, and then try those ideas as you see ones that appeal to you. As you engage more, and try more options, you'll find what works for you, start coming up with your own ideas, and slowly produce less and less waste.
