Is Your Activism Zero Waste?
Join the movement for a Zero Waste
/ Toxic-Free World! Some suggestions:
- Start by segregating your waste
into ‘bio-degradables’, ‘recyclables/upcyclables’ and ‘toxics’. Compost the bio-degradables. Make sure that your recyclables get to actual
recyclers (not dumps). Eliminate toxics, especially plastics, in all
forms.
- Find or create eco-friendly
substitutes for toxic products. Source these locally to support the local
economy.
- Conserve water, paper, petrol and
electricity.
- Walk or bicycle as much as
possible.
- Host ‘upcycling’
workshops, in order to make beautiful, useful and durable items out of waste.
