The “Zero Waste” movement focuses on living life without ever creating a single item of trash. The most prominent proponent of this system, Lauren Singer, achieves this goal by doing things like bringing empty jars and bags to the supermarket. Others have begun to follow her lead, such as the restaurant “Silo”. Silo grows everything it uses on-site and composts its leftover food. “Zero Waste” is no longer just a concept, but a lifestyle choice.

Key Takeaways:

• With more focus on reducing waste, some people have committed to creating no rubbish in every aspect of their lives.
• Planning ahead is key, bringing mason jars and reusable bags to fill up with bulk items helps reduce waste.
• Advocates strive to provide easy, everyday solutions to wasteful activities and inspire people to reduce their impact and live sustainably.
