Why live a zero waste lifestyle?
Why start a zero waste lifestyle?
The zero waste lifestyle has benefits. Some benefits are:
Not having to carry out the trash (and not missing the dates of bringing the trash outside)
Health
You renounce eating fast food
You stop using plastic, which is actually really harmful for you, click here to read about how plastic is harmful
For sure you are also helping the environment which is one of the main intentions of this lifestyle
Less visible trash on landfills
Less invisible trash (greenhouse gases) that is given off when producing the packaging and wrapping
Less to clean up -> once you start getting rid of things that you do not need find some place to put your junk you never used and never will use
You will have more time for you and your family/friends
A few thing you have to consider:
Not being able to buy/ eat everything you see or which you see while you go shopping
Not being able to do things spontaneously; you have to plan and prepare ( e.g. if you are going out with your friends you have to make sure you use the cutlery or the dishes from the restaurant/café or bring your own to go cup).
