Going zero-waste made simple: a guide to reducing waste

Going zero-waste made simple: a guide to reducing waste

Yes, going zero-waste is simple.

I understand your thinking, because I also never thought it would be simple. I can't even remember the 7 R’s (Refusing, Reducing, Repurposing, Reusing, Recycling, Rotting, and Rethinking). So, how can it ever be easy to have only a tiny jar of waste every few months?

Even though I was skeptical, I now know it‘s indeed simple, as I found many ways myself to reduce waste during my 365 Sustainable Decisions Challenge. In this Challenge, I made my daily life more environmentally friendly every day for a year. My motto: „A better world starts with yourself“.

By doing this Challenge, I found for example ways to reduce my plastic waste by bringing my own container to a take-away shop. Or my food waste by making tea from an avocado pit. Or reduce my paper waste by crafting beautiful things.

Having found so many ideas, I analyzed them to see the underlying principle that is much easier to remember than the 7 R’s. By sharing this with you, it becomes simple for you too and you can stop wasting time browsing the Internet for tips!

That's why I'm really excited to share in this course with you, so that you:

• will be proud of how much you have reduced your waste

• feel confident that you do everything you can to reduce waste

• feel less frustrated about all the plastic when you go shopping

• feel relieved that you found alternatives that work well for you.

And by getting started straight away, you'll stop being part of the problem and become part of the solution instead!
