Zero Waste

Hey all,

I want to let you all know about what I think is one of the coolest yet most under-appreciated ways to reduce waste and improve one's impact on the world.

Is there a active visible mending community on the fediverse ?

UPDATE: I have found someone willing to help with the project. The internet is beautiful!

!zerowaste@slrpnk.net seems more active, for people interested

I don't know if this topic is appropriate for this community but there is a lot of waste generated with the clothing industry so I hope it fits.

Hi all! So, first thing's first - I know Lomi isn't actually good for composting. I bought mine secondhand for a fraction of the price because there's no food scrap drop off near me, and I am not interested in doing a proper home compost. I don't have any plants; I'm only interested in reducing my food waste.

Zero waste is a waste prevention and management strategy gaining popularity among individuals as well as industries, communities, and businesses. The goal — as *zero* waste is more of an ideal than a hard target — is to emulate sustainable natural cycles where all discarded materials are designed to become resources for other uses, which will themselves become resources for other uses, and so on. Therefore, ideally, nothing is sent to landfills or incinerators. Zero waste strives for reduced resource use, use of recycled or less impactful materials, longer product lives, repairability, product sharing, and recovery of materials from products reaching end of life.
