Don't throw it, regrow it 🌱⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Did you know you can regrow food from kitchen scraps? ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ When you cut off vegetable roots, leave about 1-2cm of the white stalk. Pop them into a container with a little bit of water making sure the stem is out of the water. In a few days the they start to grow again. Try it with different vegetables like leeks, spring onions and celery.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ✅Follow @helpzerowaste to get more daily Sustainable, ECO & Zero Waste tips ——————————————————- @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste @helpzerowaste ✅Like, Comment and Tag your friends to spread the message Credit to @zeroinonwaste and @hana_sackler #helpzerowaste #zerowastelifestyle #earthfriendly #sustainablelifestyle #zerowastehome #bethecchangeyouwanttosee #ecofriendlyproducts #consciousconsumer #ecoliving #lesswaste #zerowasteliving #saynotoplastic #plasticpollution #blueplanet #environmentallyfriendly #nowaste #purposedriven #saveourplanet #reducereuserecycle #noplastic #reduce #zeroniononwaste #zerowasteuk #zerowastelondon #zerowaste #zerowastejourney #zerowastetips #reducefoodwaste https://www.instagram.com/p/CFrt0yysOIc/?igshid=kqriqg5jsmqr

RECYCLE: MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU CAN

46) Recycle properly! This may seem obvious but for roadside recycling (if your council/municipality provides it), stick to the guidelines of what can and can’t be recycled and how these should be recycled (e.g. sorting into glass, paper, tins, etc). 47) Check if it can be recycled before you chuck it: A surprising number of weird and wonderful things that you probably haven’t thought of can actually be recycled at specialised facilities.

ROT: THE CIRCLE OF LIFE 😉

48) Collect your food waste:  A simple collection bin on your kitchen counter will do (we use an old plastic container). That way you can collect food for your own composter, or, if you don’t compost, collect it for someone who does! 49) Composting for everyone: Ideally, you’ll get into composting yourself! You can even do it right in your own apartment, on your balcony (we have a balcony worm farm!) or even indoors, thanks to some very clever indoor compost bins on the market. 50) Use your rot to regrow: Use your compost to grow your very own little apartment garden. Compost is great for amending soil and providing nutrients to plants.  If you have a vermicomposter, you’ll find plants simply thrive with a little worm tea fertilizer. Again, if you can’t grow your own, give your compost away to someone who will use it. ------ Visit our website: https://zerowasteinitiative.com/ Source: Internet 🌳 Zero Waste Initiative - Less Trash More Life ! 🌏 Let's Save The World While There's Still Time !

#Repost @ecowizard @download.ins --- Tenith Adithyaa, a scientist from Wartap village in Tamil Nadu, uses Banana Leaf Technology, which preserves the leaves for up to three years, to create products that can serve as an alternative to plastic. 🍃 Naturally, leaves and most biomaterials degrade within a shelf lifespan of three days and are discarded as waste. Banana leaf technology is a cellular eco-friendly technology that preserves leaves and organic biomaterials for a year without the use of any chemicals. This technology enhances the leaves' physical properties thus making a viable biodegradable material alternative to both plastic and paper. 🍌 Speaking with NDTV, Tenith said, “We are habituated to using plastic plates, straws, cup, polythene, and packaging. Paper alternatives are used only once and create a lot of waste, so I came up with an idea to replace these with banana leaves.” He added, “The technology preserves banana leaves for over three years without the use of any chemicals. It also increases its durability. Preserved leaves can resist extreme temperatures and hold more weight. The manufacturing cost of these plates and cups is very low, and they can ultimately be used as manure or fodder.” Share this with someone who would love to see this! ————————————————— FOLLOW - @ecowizard 🌎💪💪🏾💪🏼 —————————————————. . . 📸 Credits : @ecocentral_ . . #unwrapxmas #GetWasteEd #reuse #reduce #recycle #recycling #recycled #wastefree #zerowastelife #zerowastehome #zerowasteliving #zerowasteholiday #noplanetb #environmentallyconscious #savetheplanet #sustainableliving #saveourplanet #savetheearth #breakfreefromplastic #anticonsumption #saynotoplastic #noplastic https://www.instagram.com/p/CKczbzJBPkB/?igshid=6e18j9iy6q3u

5R November

5R? What does it mean?

5R stands for five rules (or more like tips) of zero waste and these five words are a simple recipe for creating less waste:    1. refuse    2. reduce    3. reuse    4. recycle    5. rot

This order isn't random. It goes like this: First you refuse what you don't need. Second you reduce what is necessary for you. Then you reuse what you already have and at last you recycle what can't be refused, reduced or reused and rot what's left.

These concepts were created by Bea Johnson — founder of zero waste movement. There goes more to each step and I want to devote November to this topic.

Today I want to focus on first one which is refuse: It's a perfect way to avoid waste, simply saying no to the things you don't need will save you space, probably time and money and it will be a great relieve for the word. If you don't want or need something it will sooner or later end up at the landfill without fulfilling its purpose. These first step is closely connected with minimalist movement. It's the first on the list because it's the most effective of them all. Everything you bought or was gifted will go to trash if it's not already there, simply by refusing items that aren't interesting and valuable to you, you can eliminate the waste from its root.

How to refuse?

If you have a problem with impulse buying it can be problematic for you but in the end your wallet as well as the planet will thank you. It's important to really think about the purchase before buying. Ask yourself few questions: do you really need this? Do you have something similar already? Is it for multiple occasions or only single use? Would you buy it if it was ten times more expensive?

When it comes to the things that you're given it's even harder. We tend to want everything that's for free, it's how our brains work but you also should think about what you take. Often the things that are gifted to you are random and useless like in case of gift bags or gratises. But you're not always gifted gratises, in fact it's more common that a gift is from someone close to you which can add sentimental value and can be a problem when the given item isn't what we need or want. My solution is to have a list of items you really need and to share it with others. It doesn't work every time but it's really helpful, in many cases the ideas that you share are needed and it helps not only you or planet but also the buyer.

Remember that every little step counts. So try to implement this concept into your life, in a way that is maintainable for you. Next week I will cover second R — reduce, stay toned.
