Description
We live in a world dominated by consumerism. The rule buy-use-discard is working at a speed which is destroying the world. The system behind all this is called linear economy, which exhausts the finite resources of our planet at a rate never seen before. We are starting to see and experience the nasty effects of this everywhere around us.
Have you ever thought about how much waste you generate only by being here?
We do not worry about the trash because we do not see it. It disappears every day in the bin and we forget about it.
BUT
this is not where the story ends…
In this course you will see how the story continues and you will learn how to live without generating waste. Through sustainable practices you will be able to minimize your footprint on the environment and live a more conscious and responsible life.
In this course we will look at topics like:
How to generate less waste
How to recycle it properly
How to reuse it creatively
How to turn it into something beneficial
How to make a difference in your community
How to be proactive about positive change
and many more tips, tricks and advice you can immediately apply into your daily life
We believe that a truly conscious lifestyle is not only about us, but the environment we live in and share with other beings.
We are excited to welcome you on this Zero Waste Journey!
