Zero Waste Week: Where Do I Start with Reducing Waste?

Posted on by Emma Reed

Just like Plastic Free July, Zero Waste Week is a fantastic focus to encourage more of us to look at what changes we can make in our lives in order to reduce our household waste.

What Is Zero Waste Week?

“Zero Waste Week was founded by Rachelle Strauss in 2008 and began as a National UK Campaign. Campaigns last a week and take place annually during the first full week in September.

The campaign runs predominantly on social media and the website ZeroWasteWeek to reach a community of like-minded people who want to reduce residential or commercial waste, reuse materials and recycle as much as possible. The aim of the campaign is to help householders, businesses, schools and community groups increase recycling, reduce landfill waste and participate in the circular economy – in alignment with European recommendations and Directives.

Zero Waste Week was created as a non-commercial grassroots campaign to demonstrate means and methods to reduce waste, foster community support and bring awareness to the increasing problem of environmental waste and pollution”

As a result, they have succumbed to means that are either harmful to their mental or physical self, with the habit of smoking topping the list.

Whether you’re a smoker or not, being exposed to such a harmful environment causes more deaths than any virus. But, unfortunately, nobody is ready to talk about it.
