零废弃生活

Have you ever considered what the world would look like without waste? A world free from garbage dumps, landfills and pollution?

For some people, this may feel like a pipe dream given the era of consumerism and throwaway products that we live in. For others, there is great ambition and hope as the world is starting to respond to the global rise in waste, offering possible ways to address this challenge.

Whatever side you’re on, the fact is things need to change. We are approaching local and global limits as to how much garbage we can put in landfills or dump into the sea. People around the world are calling for radical changes in our habits and lifestyles, which has led governments and organizations to embark on ambitious plans to produce zero waste.

Zero waste living includes different concepts that focus on sustainable waste management systems . These systems include reducing, reusing, redesigning, regenerating, recycling, repairing, remanufacturing, reselling and incinerating waste so none ends up in landfills. Essentially, these focus on protecting our environment by minimizing the adverse impact and damage from continued depletion of natural resources and the breakdown of trash.
