      @@wilmab4120 Yeah. I learned that landfills produce methane (like, considerably), so even replacing fossil fuels with burning trash in high temperatures for energy would be a positive change. Of course, replacing raw materials for products with recycled materials would be the best. But I'm sure that currently there is an excess of material, that doesn't need to be turned into new things - because we have too many things, and because some things are unrecyclable - so some of it can be burned.
      In Finland there really aren't actual landfills anymore. The one in my town has been turned into a recycling centre and the piles have been sealed to the ground, are cleaned with dry compost and some have been turned into downhill skiing slopes. I think a good option for previous landfill sites would be reforestation.
      The town sends a pamflet to each household annually about the sorting of the trash and where it can be dropped. Dropping sorted recyclables at the local recycling bins is free, but the trash truck charges a fee, and the recycling centre charges you for dropping your big or dangerous waste there by weight. It's cheaper for the individual to reduce and recycle their waste. But I find it's rarely talked about.

    I'm seeing lots of comments from people being inspired by this. I just want to tell y'all that if you want to reduce waste you don't necessarily have to go zero waste right away. Start small. Buy a reusable straw and don't use plastic ones. Carry around a reusable bag with you so you can refuse plastic bags. You can even use a fixed or attachable bidet instead of toilet paper. Not only does it reduce waste it's also a much cleaner alternative. There are lots of small things you can do. Imagine if lots people made small changes like this to their lifestyle. It can have a huge impact on the environment. Be the change you want to see.

    I do really appreciate what she strives to do and I'm impressed with her environmentalist efforts (much better than I'm doing) but I think the phrase "zero waste" needs to be changed. Creating waste is a symptom of being alive: there is no such thing as living without waste and by emphasizing the "zero" in zero waste, I think it can discourage a lot of people who want to practice better environmentalism by saying "oh, well I can never make NO waste..." Perhaps "limited consumption," "minimal waste," etc would be less dissuasive and more correct.

    EDIT 2: hii i wrote this when i was 15 and was radicalised by right winged content on youtube and reddit. protests are extremely valuable especially in regards to getting voices heard on injustices. honestly at this time i was probably just angry at my friends for protesting without actually knowing anything about climate change, which actually doesn’t matter because the more people the better, voices will be heard. in all honesty, i think this idea of “zero waste” can be a bit impractical. if you can do it, that’s great! but ultimately everyone’s situation is different and zero waste is huge huge goal for many. just do what you can :) and maybe that’s protesting!!

      It's true but consumers, especially from rich countries have a great impact on the policies of companies. By not buying from companies who use child labor or are destroying the environment they force these companies to adopt better practices. Also talking about it in social media can amplify this impact because corporations don't want to be associated with bad things.

    But I like her ideas about vegetables, shampoos, cleaning products, having a set of washable cutlery, etc. The only thing that is hard is taking on the habit of doing those things, not doing those things in itself

    I've been living in Thailand for a few months now, and it made me realise the importance of culture around trash. Here, when you go and buy street food, it's packaged in a plastic bag, with another plastic bag to handle it, and a smaller plastic bag of sauce inside. Your drink is in a plastic cup, which has got its own plastic bag. It doesn't matter if you're eating alone, if you take three small packs of food, they will give you three forks. Sometimes you have biodegradable stuff like banana leaf, inside your plastic container. It really highlights how you need to have around you places and shops and resources that allow you to buy package free, and people willing to do things a bit differently. Because trash is convenient and cheap. That's why I'm thankful for regulatory changes, like the prohibition of plastic single use cups and utensils.

      Love rainbows Puppys Love rainbows Puppys Love rainbows Puppys 🤦🏻‍♀️ When packaging is reusable it gets *reused* ! Hence the point of it. If people only use reusable packaging they buy *much* less of it meaning less is sold meaning less is produced meaning less employment is needed. So by having the world only or even mainly using reusable packaging that would seriously impact the economy and hugely damage employment opportunities. Also, since when is people having jobs and being able to support themselves & their families not a positive thing?

    The energy used to produce these goods is very important to note. Buying reusable materials can quite often be worse for the environment, especially when these come from small scale manufacturing.

    I like to live in Nordic countries, since here it's basic to recycle everything. You even get money when you return some of your used glass/plastic bottles and soda cans to a recycling station (let's say a bottle costs 1,20 €, you get 0,20 € back when you return it.) Paper, cardboard, glass, metal and organic waste trash cans are almost all basic in the cities' apartment complexes. In Sweden the whole society has recycled even plastic for years already, the other Nordic countries followed some time behind (correct me if I'm wrong.)
    I now live in Finland and it's a thing that in a couple of years from now, there will be a garbage tax for every household's unrecycled trash. As long as you recycle and throw the trash in the bins where they are meant, throwing trash away is free, but everything "mixed" will have a price.

    No need for drastic change instantly. I was 8 when I heard about global warming and wanted to do something about it. I started turning off lights I wasn’t using, even though I was so lazy I always protested. The habit moved to turning off powerpoints to not using the aircon everyday and walking instead of driving. I’m 21 now so it may have taken a while to get to where I am but I have definitely lowered my carbon footprint and everyday I think of little ways to change.
