Waste Free Day @ Home

What is a waste free day, and why is it important?

A true zero waste day is where you try to send nothing to the landfill. That means that before you go to bed at night, you look in your trash can and see that it is...EMPTY! In the world we live in, that may sound nearly impossible, but with a little effort, there are many easy changes we can make to lessen the amount of waste we accumulate through the day. This is so important because the average American sends 4.4 pounds of trash to the landfill everyday! There are other ways to add to your waste free day like turning off lights in your house, shortening your showers, and reusing items instead of buying replacements.

While we are at home all day, it is a great time to think about how we can reduce the amount of daily waste we create!
