While putting this together, I thought about what I wished I’d known when I set out to cut my waste and live more sustainably. I’ve focused on three areas with big potential. Reducing wasted food is an easy way to lower emissions — and we can start with our next meal. Eating more plants and avoiding single-use plastic will not only benefit the planet but also our health. And remember, perfection is not possible. Zero waste is above all an intention, not a hard-and-fast rule.
