Question: where does your waste go? š
Does it end up in a pile, on a landfill in some other country, becoming someone elseās problem?
Last night the @theorganicmc hosted another #ommovienight featuring the acclaimed documentary āLiving the Changeā about New Zealanders making a difference through the sustainable business or lives they lead. š„
Here’s the trailer:
The event itself was #zerowaste serving booch (Kombucha) in reusable cups and a delicious plant-based meal in bowls that were washed and will be reused for future events.
Everything else went into the compostable or recyclable bin. ā»ļø
That movie really got me thinking about the impact of my life on the environment. More specifically, how the waste I generate is impacting the health of our planet and itās sustainability. š
I guess growing up in a busy city like Singapore, once the trash goes down the rubbish chute itās āout of sight, out of mindā š
But in all reality, Iāve probably already accumulated a mini Bukit Timah (a famous hill in Singapore) of trash thatās gonna stick around on earth much longer than I am. š
Iām inspired to think of ways to live as āwaste-freeā as I can. As well as other ways of living more consciously.
There are simple things that anyone can do such as using less plastic, starting a compost, recycling more, voting with your wallet and probably the best of all (for your health too) is eating less meat! š„©
While it may not seem like your individual efforts amount to much, remember that every action you make has the potential to create a ripple effect to those around you.
Iām sure each and every one of us wants our planet and environment to be as healthy as can be. š±
The truth is that itās not.
Earth is slowly dying because of our actions.
We need to change this.
We need to live the change.
Start thinking, start acting.
Start changing. ā”ļø
