EARLIER this month, I had the opportunity to give a brief discussion on the importance of living a zero-waste lifestyle during a Zero Waste Training and Workshop with a national government agency. Many people are unaware that living a zero-waste lifestyle contributes to environmental sustainability, resource conservation and pollution reduction.
It is crucial for all of us to understand that adopting zero-waste practices means reducing the amount of waste we send to landfills, incinerators and oceans. In doing so, we not only address our global ranking as the third-biggest marine polluter, but we also decrease environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions associated with waste disposal. This, in turn, helps mitigate climate change and protects ecosystems and biodiversity.
