10-Day Zero Waste Challenge

Single-use items are so common nowadays that we became desensitized to the amount of environmental harm they cause. This challenge puts you back in the right mindset. Let's try together to use reusable items such as reusable bags as much as possible and avoid any single use items, such as plastic cups and straws. We understand that it is hard to avoid all single use items, so if there is an unavoidable need, try to recycle as much as possible! Something is always better than nothing when it comes to reducing environmental harm. You do not have to apply all these rules at once, but start progressively thinking about small changes that you can make and build towards the big picture. Every time you make a small change, think about the cascade of unfortunate events you are preventing! From the release of toxic chemicals and greenhouse gases that much of our waste produces, to the way our waste harms forests, oceans, animals, plants.. Think of every small change as a vote to your personality. You don't need all the votes, but the majority to win. Why this challenge? This challenge will teach you a bit about mindfulness, consciousness and presence. It will make you think about your actions and will thus increase your awareness of the impact you have on our planet. We are getting close to an unimaginable destruction. Think of how our planet depends on us. Moreover, think about how you depend on our planet. More than 3.5 billion people depend on the ocean for food. Think twice.
