Zero Waste

As defined by the Zero Waste International Alliance "Zero Waste is a goal that is ethical, economical, efficient and visionary, to guide people in changing their lifestyles and practices to emulate sustainable natural cycles, where all discarded materials are designed to become resources for others to use. Zero Waste means designing and managing products and processes to systematically avoid and eliminate the volume and toxicity of waste and materials, conserve and recover all resources, and not burn or bury them. Implementing Zero Waste will eliminate all discharges to land, water or air that are a threat to planetary, human, animal or plant health." I've been trying to find a niche in all of this, something to focus in on. However as the definition of  Zero Waste displays, there is a lot of ground being covered here, the entire planet. As I said in a previous post I am beginning to see and understand the bigger picture here, but I have just started down my Greener Path and where it may lead is still unknown. I've been interested in alternative energy, solar and wind, which is very much Zero Waste. I am also much in tune with nature and concerned with impacts to natural environments. I am anxious to learn more, to study, research, and experience what Zero Waste means today and work towards the ambitious and essential goals it sets forth.
