🍀 Zero Garbage Home 🍀
Concept of zero garbage is not producing garbage from home which can be reused, recycled, transformed to useful thing. Out of total home garbage we can easily manage 80% of waste.
Solid waste management at home starts from waste segregation. Roughly we can segregate waste into 3 main categories
1) Organic waste : Most of this waste comes from kitchen which can be used in composting.
2) Recyclable waste: This mainly includes plastic, paper, glass, metals and e-waste which can be sent to recycling.
3) Rejected waste : Such as sanitary pads, medical waste, etc. This may go to landfills.
There two easy options we have that we can easily implement at home.
Composting @ Home is like learning cooking. First you need to learn it from someone who knows it well after that you can use your own tricks and tacts to improve it further. If you take care of few things in composting, it would be 100% successful for sure.

2) Adopt 3R principle to recyclable waste such as plastic
Plastic and e-waste are non-degradable materials, they will remain on earth forever and pollute environment. So adopting 3R principle we can surely control the impact of it on our environment.
- Reduce usage : Whenever possible avoid plastic usage. Use alternative e.g. use cloth bags
- Reuse : Do not throw away, whenever possible keep it and reuse it.
- Recycle : Plastic does not break down in landfills. It can be recycled to make many diverse products.
