The zero waste lifestyle
It is no longer a mystery to anyone that the emergency is climate change and plastic pollution. Whether or not you are ready to take this into consideration in your lifestyle. This awareness has allowed zero waste , plastic-free living and local or homemade communities to gain momentum. Your 2020 resolution is " I stop overconsuming " but you don't know where to start? Below you will find tips and advice on this zero waste objective transition .
In the kitchen
The kitchen is probably the worst place for waste abuse. From cereal boxes to pasta packets to fruit & vegetable bags. There are some very simple changes that sometimes slip our minds when it comes to zero waste . First, stop buying fruit and vegetables in bags. There is no reason for them to be packaged, apart from red fruits in cardboard trays of course. In particular, bananas, kiwis or oranges wrapped in plastic when they are available in bulk in your supermarkets or even local markets . As for packets of pasta, cereals, biscuits etc., there are bulk stores such as Naturalia or Day by Day that sell dry food products in bulk. You simply have to come with your jars, if you don't have any, Day by Day grocery stores provide them for free, and you do your shopping! But remember that your jars of mustard, spread or other can have a second life in your home! Also, remember to bring your own shopping bags. Since last year, supermarkets have been banned from selling plastic bags to consumers.
In the bathroom
The bathroom is the second place full of packaging after the kitchen, shampoo bottles, cotton bags, toothpaste tubes... Fortunately, there are now cosmetic brands committed to offering alternative products that do not negatively impact the environment. Whether in their composition or in excess packaging. Opt for a shampoo, natural soap or solid toothpaste , this will considerably reduce your dose of plastic waste. In addition, these brands sell their products in cardboard packaging, therefore easily recyclable. As for solid toothpaste, it is generally sold directly in its container, even less packaging to throw away! This room is also filled with single-use products, cotton pads, cotton swabs, toothbrushes... Caliquo is committed to offering zero waste products.
