Aloha Zero Waste !

I'm a zero waste beginner and have been practicing zero waste lifestyle for quite some time now. This platform has create an opportunity for me to share my zero-waste journey. Zero-waste is a way much cooler than you think and makes you look more trendier. Most of the things that we used in our daily basis including toothbrush, food containers, skin care products are packaged in or made of plastics. Avoiding plastic in our daily life might seems to be the most challenging task but it's possible with some simpler steps. We can't be hero overnight but simple actions from us will shape healthy environment for our next generations. The great news is we can shop amazing range of Eco-friendly and sustainable products from our local zero waste stores aimed to reduce wastage.

Below pictures shows how am I practicing zero waste lifestyle on my daily basis.

Do you know that plastic toothbrush invented in the 1930s?

Since then, every plastic toothbrushes still exist on this planet today and each takes about 400 years to decompose. We have been advised by dental experts to change the toothbrush 3 months once.

Have you even wonder where the used plastic products end up at? Most of them end up in landfill and eventually into the ocean. Every year, 8 million tonnes of plastic waste end up in the ocean and over 100 million marine animals are being killed by plastic microparticles. Plastic bags can take between 20 to 1000 years to decompose. Reusable bags are environmental friendly and switching to reusable bags will reduce usage of plastic in long term run.
