This week has been all about checking off goals☑️The Humble Nomad website is live & my first blog post is up 🖥 I’m anxious to show everything I’ve been planning for months 🗓 When The Humble Nomad was starting to become an idea I wanted to keep myself personally out of content, that it needed to be all about the information I was trying to get out to people & no one wants to see pictures of me 🙅🏽‍♀️ But that is wrong because The Humble Nomad is me & more🏘 It’s my husband, my family, my community, and anyone that who is open to what Sustainable living could be💚 So hi there! My name is Lindsie & this is my best friend Jones🐶We’ve been on a few adventure together, but I think this new one will be the most challenging. In the next few months I will be sharing more community events & recipes on the blog, even some sustainable swaps for your furry best friend🐾 If you stumbled on to this Instagram some how & took the time to read this or the blog post I wanted to thank you, I couldn't ask for more. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me or contact me through the site contact page💌 . . #zerowastecommunity #blog #corgi #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #reuse #sustainable #sustainableliving #uselesspackaging #wastefree #waronwaste #ecoliving #jonesharvey #reducereuserecycle #highdesert #hesperia #victorville #applevalley #victorvalley #sanbernadino #sanbernadinocounty #saynotopackaging #goingzerowaste #lowwastejourney #progressnotperfection #TheHumbleNomad #adelanto #entrepreneur #sandiego https://www.instagram.com/p/BuQdXJcA6jN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e9o7rh8vrpdr

Benefits of Zero Waste

Note: Source comes from the Toronto Environmental Alliance 

Climate Change

Zero waste helps to reduce our climate change. The motto ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ is a very effective strategy regarding our greenhouse gas emissions. According to the U.S EPA, roughly 42% of all greenhouse gas emissions are caused by the production and use of goods (e.g food, products, and packaging). By using this strategy, we will conserve energy and reduce our carbon emissions. 

Resources & Pollution

Zero waste helps to conserve our resources and minimise pollution. Our current consumption rate of resources are unsustainable. When we extract materials from the earth, we are causing pollution whether it be by logging a forest, mining, or drilling for oil. The processing requires more energy and causes even more pollution. Once the goods are used, they’re simply dumped in a landfill or end up in the ocean’s many garbage patches. 

Zero waste is a good strategy to conserve our natural resources and reduce pollution from the process of extraction, manufacturing, and disposal. Recycling keeps waste out of landfills and provides manufacturers with materials to make new goods. 

Communities

Zero Waste helps to build communities. Community groups and small businesses help to promote zero waste and address social inequities. The projects in community groups can focus on redistributing goods to people in need, donating leftover food to shelters, hosting garment sales, and giving unneeded furniture to refugees. Strategies like composting at a community garden or sharing tools and skills to reuse and repair can be done. It ensures that everyone has access to tools to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste where they live. This way, everyone can participate in protecting our environment. Zero waste also protects the health of communities by reducing water, air, and soil pollution. 

Jobs

Zero Waste can help to create jobs. A circular economy creates good, green jobs as goods are recirculated rather than being disposed of after one use. The website states, “Ontario’s recycling, composting, and diversion program creates 10 times more jobs than disposal.” Jobs are created in handling materials to recycle at facilities. This creates even more jobs in different businesses that already exist. Local money is spent on local and jobs and stays within the community as apposed to buying products that were imported.

What is “zero waste” or “sustainable living"? For the next couple of posts, I want to discuss and find out your thoughts on living more sustainably and what it means to you. Please note- I am not standing up and saying that going zero waste is it- the magical, perfect solution and we all have to do these exact things. No. *Do what you can, with what you have.* I also acknowledge that not everyone has the same access or abilities. It’s about being kind to the planet, if you can be, even if that’s using up every part of a vegetable or conserving water and electricity. . As a term, "zero waste" is misleading because no one can ever truly generate no waste. @_wastelandrebel_ put it perfectly in one of her posts where she said, "If I had to chose a name, I’d call it “minimal waste”.” Which sounds a lot more do-able right?  But she also said that she’ll continue to use the term “zero waste”, because this amazing community is known as the “zero waste movement”. 😊 I also love how @litterless says it’s about progress, not perfection. 🙌 It isn’t just about jars either. For me (currently based in London) this lifestyle means: * Producing as little waste as possible. 
 * Being an advocate for positive, systemic change. 
 * Being thoughtful about my consumption. . I’ll be going into these in more detail over the next couple of weeks. What does living sustainably mean to you? . . . . #zerowastecommunity #yayforearth #sustainableliving  #choosetoreuse #doitfortheplanet #lowwastelifestyle (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUFRcenel3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1od7ajfkuvdlc

Composting is one of the oldest ways we can contribute to a circular economy! Keep a bucket or jar in the kitchen and collect your food scraps for compost to easily make your life a little more sustainable. Did you know many veggie scraps can be used for making vegetable broth before going to the compost? Now that's what I call extracting the maximum out of your resources! #lowimpact #sustainbleliving #planethealth #ecofriendlyproducts #plasticfree #plasticpollution #zerowasteliving #lowimpactliving #lowimpactlifestyle #sustainablelifestyle #zerowastelifestyle #reducereuserecycle #goingzerowaste #zerowastejourney #zerowaste #leavenotrace #saynotoplastic #giveasip #fuckplastic #minimalism #zerowastecommunity #upcycle #recycle #zerowasteshopping #plasticfree #ecofriendly #choosetorefuse #awastefreeworld #stopsucking #compost #wastefacts
