Sherri Haines (#1350, Dare2BUniquelyMe) has received a certificate of achievement in Cleaning Up for earning a Beginner Living Zero Waste badge!
"I have completed the Path to Zero Waste Merit Badge.
The 5 Rs of zero waste: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair (my 6th R), Recycle & Rot.
The different ways in which I practice the Rs include not purchasing things that are single use only, bringing my own bags when I go shopping (including vegetable bags), repurposing and repairing items where I can, donating things I no longer want/need or recycling the parts if they cannot be donated, and composting food waste.
When you run a business related to refuse and recycling, you learn a lot about what can be done to reduce waste. Many things that are thrown away can be recycled. Much that is recycled can be reused, repurposed, or repaired. Before my food scraps go to the compost, they become broth for future meals. Fast fashion is expensive for the environment and the workers who create it. The best foods for my family actually have very little, if any, packaging."
