Easy zero waste tip no. 3: Know your R's

Refuse: If you don't acquire the thing that will become waste in the first place, it won't produce further waste. Simple enough. Refuse that which you do not need. Example: All that cute stuff on that Buzzfeed article? You don't need it. Don't even click the link.

Reduce: If you need something, get the minimum. Note that this doesn't mean the cheapest option- it means the most effective and environmentally friendly option. Example: Instead of buying disposable razors, or a razor with changeable heads, try out a safety razor. Instead of using plastic toothbrushes, try out bamboo, and instead of toothpaste in disposable tubes, try out some toothpaste bits. Instead of buying chicken breasts for one thing and chicken broth for another, get a whole chicken and learn to butcher its meat, and make broth from the skin and bones.

Reuse: This means both being mindful of purchases, so you're only buying things that are reusable whenever possible (Example: use beeswax wrap instead of saran wrap), and repurposing things you've already bought (Example: use those little Oui yogurt containers to start seeds for your garden).

Recycle: Find out what your local recycling program actually recycles, and be mindful. Aluminum is a safe bet most of the time, as is paper/cardboard; but plastics, most of the time, are a dud, so try to refuse, reduce, and reuse plastic whenever possible so you don't even need to worry about recycling it. This also refers to donation- that's another valid way to recycle things!

Rot: If you have a yard, start a compost pile! Just try to get a 50/50 balance of food scraps to brown matter (paper, dry leaves, etc). If you have a freezer, you can stick a container in there to act as a compost thing until you can bring it to a compost facility, such as a local garden, or farm. If you don't have the ability to do either of these things, then you can see if there's a subscription compost service in your area (I used CompostNow for ages, they're great).

Understanding these five principles, and looking at them in this order, can make things easier. Next time you're buying something, or about to throw something away, consider which of these might allow you to reduce your waste output in the future.

5 Mindset Shifts For Zero Waste Living

Sustainable living may seem difficult at first. Your 20 years of experience have kept you from making mistakes. The garbage can have been seen around town. Before giving up on your low-waste journey, it's nearly impossible to accomplish. The 5 steps to zero waste will assist you in doing so. This article will outline the five mindful shifts necessary to achieve zero waste.

What are the 5 R's of zero-waste living, and how do they help people consciously shift towards living without waste? You've probably heard of the 3R’s of sustainability: reduce, reuse, and recycle. This article presents the 5 R's of Zero Waste living, which may represent a more comprehensive strategy for achieving a zero-waste lifestyle.

Refuse Avoid single-use plastics like straws, coffee cups, Tupperware, and bags. Instead, buy bamboo straws, Keep Cup coffee cups, and Credo produce reusable bags. It's hard to refuse, especially when convenience matters. Buying a coffee in a reusable cup is easier than remembering to bring it every time you leave the house. This is the hardest of the 5 R's of zero waste because it requires a mindset and consumption shift. You'll have to decide what kind of planet to live on. Rent tools, catering equipment, baby car seats, camping gear, sports equipment (like skis), and furniture.

Reduce Overconsumption contributes to global waste, so limit your material goods purchases. Look into dress rentals. Before buying anything, ask yourself if you need it and eliminate clutter and unused items. Declaring can seem impossible at times. People procrastinate because they think they must first clean a room—or the garage. Decluttering your life should be done gradually. Start with a kitchen or bathroom drawer, then the medicine cabinet, fridge top, Tupperware drawer, etc. Decluttering your home takes time. It won't happen over a weekend or week.

Reuse Reusing, repurposing, and upcycling items can extend their useful life. Buy used or thrift, and try upcycling to give old things a new lease on life.

Recycle Find out where you can recycle your electronics and other household items, and do so regularly. There may be a need for games and cooking supplies at the local daycare centres. Books, toys, clothes, furniture, and magazines are always needed at refugee centres, women's shelters, nursing homes, and animal humane societies. It's also good to visit nearby places like libraries, gardens, and recreation centres. It's more effort, but at least it helps you avoid throwing away unnecessary items. Fixing things is another option to consider. It's important to check with the local government before throwing away large items like mattresses, refrigerators, pillows, old paint, etc., as they may offer disposal incentives or programmes.

Rot Reduce, reuse, and recycle your garbage. Learn more than a hundred effective waste-cutting strategies to live waste free life. Don't just throw things away without consulting this handy chart first. Conclusion The goal of the 5'r's zero waste policy is, after all, environmental protection. Keep potentially harmful household products out of landfills by employing the 5 Rs of Zero Waste. Your mindset will change no matter how long it takes to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. Awareness, personal responsibility, and new habits can lead to a waste-free life.

Week 3.5 Package Design - RRRRR

In order: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot. In class, we did an activity where we had to very quickly come up with something for each word. My favourite coming out of it was 3. I like the idea of it possibly being reversible.

=========================================

I sketched out a basic sketch on Procreate trying to figure out how it might look.

=========================================

I whipped out the paper and wanted to make a mock-up to see if it would even work. My work station got a bit messy, to say the least.

=========================================

I love this kind of stuff and was so happy that it actually held together and didn't immediately explode. The reversible element will be tricky but I'm up for the challenge.

I do these kinds of crafts in my free time! - (っ＾▿＾)っ✏️

Refuse->Reduce->Reuse->Recycle->Rot

[rfc-gd]

Project 1 Rationale 

The 5 R's: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot

During class we experimented with rough paper product models under the basis of the 5 R's you see above. It really opened my mind to the different possibilities of packaging and just how much I can reduce waste and excess, beyond the boundaries of what I had priorly imagined.

Planning Phase

Challenge: The main objective for this project was to find a product that is excessively over packaged and redesign it to be more practical and environmentally friendly with less materials. For my product I chose a Deadpool themed “Domez” collectible miniature, (see photo in post below) which comes in a small cardboard box with a large plastic viewing window. 

The initial problems that I have identified are as follows: reducing the amount of plastic in and around the box, retaining viewability of the actual product, leaving appropriate room for the product branding and euro hangar, and making sure the collectible itself is protected. As it is a Deadpool themed collectible I need to find a way to make it feel very action themed and extravagant whilst also being very minimalistic which I feel could prove a challenge. 

Approach: My first step in this project has been sketching up roughs and developing a few prototypes. My plan is to hopefully change the box to more of a triangular shape, and leave a cutout on one side in order to display the product. The main goal in my redesign is to eliminate as much plastic as possible, whilst still keeping the product safe and viewable. I’m trying to work out a way to keep the dome secure in the box, as currently the manufacturer has done it with a plastic cutout and a lot of tape. Right now the easiest solution for this seems to be making a cardboard mini stand for the base of the product in order to anchor it into the box. 

Outcome: Hopefully my redesign should turn out quite well, I’m anticipating a little trouble with the dimensions of an angular box, but once I can plot a sure fire way to make everything secure and protected I think it should be a really solid piece of packaging!

Project #1 Eco-Friendly Packaging: Planning Phase

We experimented with messy 3D models during the 5R's activity, which really opened my mind to more possibilities. Trying to tackle sustainability can feel overwhelming all at once, so I appreciated that we created these models in bite-sized pieces instead of just trying to consider all 5 R's ( Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot). Above are the four most successful models which I will use as my jumping-off point for additional sketches and polished models.

Project Rationale Draft #1

Challenge

I am re-designing the packaging of a B•Color glitter eyeshadow. Its current space is wasteful of space, materials, and surface area. I think the biggest challenge I will face is effectively downsizing the product while fitting all of the information on it. The second challenge I may come across is the fact that the product I chose is not necessarily a popular brand, so I may struggle to come up with consistent branding. I can thankfully recreate the logo in Illustrator with relative ease. 

Approach

My aim is to reduce the amount of packaging used so I can reduce the amount of space the product takes up in the shipping process, store shelves, and in the recycling bin. I will do away entirely with the plastic casing and switch to a cardboard material that is more easily recycled. 

Outcome

I anticipate that the downsizing the packaging of the product will be successful. It will reduce the use of non-recyclable materials and will also minimize the carbon footprint that the product produces (Production, transportation, disposal). I hope that I will be able to merge design aesthetics and sustainability.

How To Reduce Your Waste Refuse what you do not need; reduce what you do need; reuse what you consume; recycle what you cannot refuse, reduce, or reuse; and rot (compost) the rest.

[esgaone]

How essential is it to reduce carbon footprint?

As one of the leading Carbon footprint consultant, according to the Energy Information Administration, the molecules that trap heat in the earth's atmosphere are known as greenhouse gases. Although these gases do exist naturally, human activity has made a significant contribution to the emissions of greenhouse gases. We must recognize that the increase in carbon dioxide levels brought on by human activity and energy use beginning with the industrial revolution is now the main factor contributing to global warming and its effects. A few typical activities that cause the release of hazardous gases include using and wasting energy, operating vehicles, and industrial work.

Being a Carbon footprint consultancy, we must now recognize the significance of lowering carbon footprints and harmful emissions and begin acting to protect our world from global warming. Burning fuel is risky in many ways because it produces other atmospheric pollutants that are seriously detrimental to human health in addition to carbon dioxide. According to recent research, reducing greenhouse gas emissions could help stop up to 3.1 million premature deaths annually. According to other figures, an aggressive reduction in these harmful can help avoid 300,000 to 700,000 premature deaths annually. In our understanding as Carbon footprint consultant, almost every area of the global economy—hardware production, agriculture, transportation, power generation, industries, etc.—is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. To save the environment, we must immediately take the necessary steps to reduce this, prevent the worst impacts of climate change, and move away from fossil fuels. We are all observing the effects of climate change, and we all know that it is not permanent. We can take several actions to protect the earth from a constantly changing climate. Here are some quick and easy steps you can take to lessen your ecological footprint: We believe as a Carbon footprint consultancy, refuse or Rot anything that cannot be reused, recycled, or recycled. Choose recyclable materials instead of single-use ones. Reduce the number of items you buy and only acquire what you truly need. Instead of tossing anything away, learn to reuse and recycle what you can. Simply put, commit to waste. To help you as Carbon footprint consultant in Dubai, less driving and more biking and strolling are recommended because cars produce the most dangerous air pollutants and are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. According to a study, cars are responsible for 30% of all air pollution in the US, and these toxins are highly harmful to human health. Choose to bike because you'll be exercising for yourself, helping the environment, and lowering your carbon footprint, contributing to a better future.
