Zero Waste: Operation Room 308
My Mom asked me to accompany and help her clean the class room since she is preparing for the coming Christmas party for the class she handles. Not knowing that she has a surprise for me too. My mom knew already that I am transitioning to zero waste already for several months now. I'm doing it slowly but surely. I know for a fact that my mom has tons of paper trash since she is a teacher in an elementary school. So I already expected that I will be dealing with lots of papers but my mom ask me to take care of the collected bottles instead of the papers. She arranged the sacks that's full of plastic bottles. Mom asked me to remove the labels and pressed it thinly. Silently followed her instructions, while doing my tasks. A lot of things is running inside my mind. Do i need to film what I'm doing or no need? Will it help to promote my advocasy? Why plastic bottles? I thought its just papers? She knows how allergic I am with plastics since I'm getting rid of them as I transition to Zero Waste Lifestyle. It's not easy though because living in a country which is not offering any organic store is pretty hard. Everything is packed in plastic, markets are not like the once in the US that markets are really separated from wet to dry.
Every bulk items you'll buy is already pre-packed in plastic, like you dont have the choice to put it in a cloth bag. Most of your delish drinks are packed in plastic bottles. So transitioning to zero waste is really a hard time. However we can do something to share awareness so that we can minimize our plastic trash. Just like what we did, we collected some plastic bottles for some treats for the advisory class of my mom. We only have three days left to prepare for the Christmas Party. So we decluttered and we are planning to sell this plastic bottles and papers to the junkshop and all of the money that we will get, we will buy something for the kids.
Yes helping my mom, giving some small treats for the children, decluttering and saving the planet in an easy way is the best way closing the year 2017. This is a small achievement for my zero waste lifestyle promoting to minimize the usage of plastic. I'd rather advice you guys to use reusable things to minimize trash. We cannot say that we can be totally be a zero waste but minimizing our trash can definitely help us saving the planet. I'm not pleasing someone I just wanna share some thoughts and let you realize that we can do something better. Everyone can contribute, simplest way is throwing trash on the proper trash bin so that we can easily determine which is biodegradable and non biodegradable.
People may think I'm just seeking for attention, yes probably but the only reason why I want to post in in social media because I want to share awareness on what we can do to save the planet on our little own way. I will keep you posted my zero waste journey and I will share some insights about some easy swaps that we can do on my next blog. Thank you for taking time to read this. ;)
