Think about your daily consumption habits for a second. Take a moment just quickly to run through the day. Do you drink a cup of coffee in the morning from your coffee shop in a to-go cup? How about a lunch, packed in a plastic container? The utensils? What about the grocery delivery, or all the packaging from grocery shopping? And then the actual food waste after cooking? All those packages from Amazon purchases, your pet’s food, your clothing, and miscellaneous things that break, compound to a lot of waste in the landfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EPA estimates the average American produces 4.4 lbs of waste every single day. And even if you recycle, the solution isn’t necessarily what you might think. Only a portion might end up getting recycled, while the rest winds up in, you guessed it, a landfill. Or worse yet, in our water sources and oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re truly looking to make an impact and step closer to a green lifestyle, you need to take more steps than just separating your garbage from your paper and plastic. The purpose of zero waste is to send zero products to the landfill. While zero waste may be unrealistic for you right now, it’s still possible to make changes that will cut your emissions by half or more each day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
