The Problem:
Our society's addiction to stuff is suffocating. Every time you buy something new, an old thing dies. But did you know that for every new thing that comes into your life, something else must leave? That's right, it's time to get real about your stuff.
- Start by getting rid of anything you haven't used in a year (or 10 years, we won't judge).
- Purge those expired coupons.
- Toss those old VHS tapes. Who needs to watch "The Big Lebowski" on a VHS player, anyway?
The Solution:
Zero-Waste Activism isn't just about getting rid of stuff, it's about living with intentionality. It's about buying only what you need, using only what you have, and making do with what you've got.
- Prioritize experiences over possessions.
- Buy second-hand first.
- Make your own cleaning products using household chemicals (it's like a science experiment, but without the explosions).
