Master Your Waste
One man’s waste is another man’s treasure.
Mastering waste begins by first understanding that not all waste is the same. Your leftover spaghetti and meatballs has a totally different impact on the environment compared to the engine oil from your car.
Also, the very famous Albert Einstein said an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Which in this context basically means that waste management, although very important, is secondary to waste prevention. This is the mindset we all need to adopt to become champions for change and really make a difference.
Below are some tips to help you minimize and manage your waste properly.
-
It seems obvious, but this basic rule is golden: Always throw your garbage in the trash. It's the only place they deserve to be.
-
Plan your meals in order not to buy groceries in excess, which end up going bad and through their decomposition, end up releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is one of the gases responsible for the warming of the earth’s atmosphere.
-
Waste segregation in your kitchen is important so as to make it easier to effectively deal with waste. Non-hazardous food waste which is segregated and collected can be turned into compost for a garden instead of just being thrown away.
