Zero Waste

Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.

Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.

We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.

Pictured: three glass bottles in a row. On the left, it's a full bottle of soy sauce. In the middle, it's an empty bottle with the label removed. On the right, it's another empty bottle with a rooted pothos cutting in it.

My workplace provides snacks and some condiments for folks. When the soy sauce runs out, I do my best to snag the bottle. It looks like it ought to have a potion in it. A plant is the next best thing!

I like this very much. Some day I hope I gain the confidence to have a plant under my care without dying.

Just start with a pothos like in the picture.

It's true, pothos is quite friendly! That or a zz plant would be a great place to start. You got this, @can@sh.itjust.works

Yep, just note they are toxic to cats (and probably some other less awesome pets) if ingested.

Ah, that rules them out then :/
