4 Ways To Be Rich By Living Without Waste

rancakmedia.com – Those of you who frequently follow environmental issues may already be familiar with the following terms: zero waste, little waste, low carbon, or low impact.

Of course, all these terms refer to a contemporary lifestyle that aims to protect the environment. Only what differentiates them is the way to achieve this goal.

Zero waste is a lifestyle that is growing rapidly through mass and social media. The hashtag #zerowaste alone was used 7.5 million times by Instagram users earlier this year. This lifestyle evolution is also evident from the increasing number of activists, influencers, communities and companies that support it.

Of course, with the flood of information about the zero waste lifestyle, many people are confused about how to start.

Here are some tips for starting a lifestyle that is safe from waste, summarized in the book Cleanomics Save (Waste) Pangkal Kaya:

Reduce Use of Single-Use Plastics

This is the most initial challenge for those of you who want to care about the environment. Why? Because plastic is everywhere; Home, office, mall, etc.

You can reduce your consumption of plastic in your everyday life by bringing your own bottles or utensils, bringing a reusable shopping bag, and buying groceries from grocery stores without plastic packaging.

Buy Because You Need It, Not Because You Want It

The next fighting temptation is the desire to buy things that are not important. When implementing Zero Waste, you must learn to distinguish between elements you really need and which ones you just want. If you want to buy goods, try to apply the SKS principle (before buying, when buying, after using).

Saving From Waste Saving Results

Denia Isetianti and Aldy Mardikanto (founders of Cleanomic) experienced this financial benefit and are explained in more detail in the book Pangkal Kaya Saving (Waste) book. When there is intention and concern for the earth, others, and your own pocket, a waste-free lifestyle is sure to be a joyful journey. Good luck!
