  • How to live a zero waste lifestyle?

    How to live a zero waste lifestyle?

    7.62 billion. YES, that’s the current growing population of the world today. To sustain a comfortable and luxurious living for this magnanimous group of mankind, our planet earth is exploited daily of it’s precious and high utility, non-renewable resources. Reports suggest that every year our globe is depleted of 55 billion tons of important and significant resources like biomass, fossil energy, metals and minerals. If we keep going at this alarming rate without implementing corrective measures we will need 1.7 billion more planets like Earth to provide enough resources for the sustainability of the entire human race.

    Our building population is not only threatening the resources underneath the Earth but is also creating a crucial problem of waste pollution on the surface. Did you know that we produce 2.12 billion tons of waste globally every single year? If this waste was loaded on a truck, it would go around our planet for a total of 24 times. Shocking right?

    Slowly and steadily through various destructive, damaging and land degrading incidents, we have finally come to the realisation that if life must continue existing here then we need to opt for natural and planet friendly solutions of surviving. Instead of being the enemy of the only source that has selflessly given us the most beautiful habitat, we need to love, adore, pamper and cherish it. What better than adopting a zero waste lifestyle? It might seem unrealistic but is actually very doable.

    Here’s offering you a few tips on how to begin a zero waste lifestyle:

    Ditch Plastic Packaging

    Did you know that plastic takes over 400 years to decompose? Even then, it never really disappears but just keeps breaking into smaller pieces. With this increasing plastic pollution, you can easily ditch plastic packaging that will go a long way. Look for products with a more sustainable packaging instead. Bring your own jars and containers to buy groceries. Buy products in glass bottles rather than plastic ones, and detergents in boxes rather than bottles. You are not only reducing the plastic you use, but also sending a sustainable message to the manufacturers of those products that you don’t like plastic packaging.

    Recycle and Reuse

    Our lives are loaded with stacks and stacks of waste that goes nowhere but the garbage bins. You can easily segregate this waste and recycle it. Old paper can be recycled to make brand new, handmade paper. Old boxes and Packaging can be reused to create storage. You can also create fun pieces home decor with literally any waste item and a few paints. Get creative and make a difference!

    Switch to eco friendly products

    There are tons of products in the market that are substitutes for products that are manufactured by causing damage to the environment. With this market growing tremendously, new sustainable options are being introduced everyday. For instance, Pepaa makes eco friendly varieties for notebooks, pens, pencils and other paper-based stationery products using recycled paper.

    Go paperless, Go Digital

    Paper constitutes to 50% of wastage. Say no to paper for all your bills. Ask for digital ones instead. You can also avoid unnecessary printing. Storing important documents electronically will not only save paper, but also tons of storage as well as money. Take notes on your computer and communicate with via email rather than using paper.

    DIY your products

    Do-it-yourself projects can be life-changing for our ecosystem. Not only will it save the nature on our planet, but also protect you from harsh, toxic chemicals.

    And besides, it can be an extremely fun activity too!

    Switch to Reusable Products

    We lead a life where we use a product a few times, dispose it, and quickly buy another. Have you imagined the number of times we have used these one-time products and repurchased them? Instead, use products that have a longer lifeline. Our kitchens are filled with disposable items that are responsible for a whole lot of trash. Try alternatives like biodegradable dinnerware, reusable lunch bags and water bottles. You can also bring your own shopping and grocery bags to avoid using disposable ones. Replace your disposable batteries with rechargeable ones. Always bring your own water bottle. Replace a disposable straw with reusable metal or bamboo straw.

    Compost your leftover food

    A typical household throws away approximately 474 pounds of food waste every year. Composting your leftover food can eliminate 20-50% from your household waste stream, decreasing the burden on landfills while nourishing your plants trees, and gardens for free. From fruits and vegetables to old bread, eggshells and grains, you can compost almost anything in your kitchen.

    Leading a zero-waste lifestyle can have a larger impact than you think.  Just keep “The 4Rs” in mind:

    Refuse

    Reuse

    Reduce

    Recycle

    Simple steps today can lead to better, healthier and greener tomorrow.
