What is Zero Waste?
There is no such thing as "waste", just misplaced resources.
Zero Waste is simply creating "no waste" and redefining "what waste is". This includes replacing non-recyclable products and packaging with products that are reusable, compostable or locally recyclable. REFUSE, REUSE, REDUCE, COMPOST & RECYCLE.
In just these few changes we can significantly reduce the amount of solid waste that is harmful for the environment... like polystyrene and all other non-recyclable plastics. These usually end up in a landfill and if not disposed of appropriately, they end up in our oceans, beaches, rivers... our drinking water. Wildlife continues to be affected by our trash and the chemicals they leach... How does it affect us? Think about it. Please take a moment to view the videos below:
Van Jones: The economic injustice of plastic
Van Jones lays out a case against plastic pollution from the perspective of social justice. Because plastic trash, he shows us, hits poor people and poor countries "first and worst," with consequences we all share no matter where we live and what we earn. At TEDxGPGP, he offers a few powerful ideas to help us reclaim our throwaway planet.
Capt. Charles Moore of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation first discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch -- an endless floating waste of plastic trash. Now he's drawing attention to the growing, choking problem of plastic debris in our seas - for more info on "Our Synthetic Seas" visit www.algalita.org and www.5gyres.com
