I'm no longer zero waste. Zero waste set me up for failure. Let's talk about the zero waste movement. There are a lot of problems with the zero waste movement. cough, cough the trash jar... I live an imperfect sustainable life. I couldn't reach the unattainable and inaccessible lifestyle of perfect zero waste. The truth about zero waste is that most people can't be zero waste. The zero waste movement is not a solution to climate change. I'm just trying to have an imperfect sustainable lifestyle and live low impact and low waste as best I can.
Thanks for watching! 😊

This video talks about why I failed at a zero waste lifestyle. Zero waste living wasn't good for my mental health. In this video, I talk about the truth about zero waste. And the zero waste movement is not a solution to climate change. I think a zero waste lifestyle can be incredible and can do a lot of good. But there are so many problems and harmful messages in it, too. Does zero waste actually work? I say sustainable living, eco-conscious living, eco-friendly living, low waste, low impact interchangeably with zero waste. A sustainable lifestyle can be imperfect and should be imperfect! There is a lot of gray area within the sustainability. The zero waste movement has had a lot of harmful messaging so I've decided to not call myself zero waste. There are so many great zero waste alternatives and swaps out there. But you don't have to buy things to be zero waste. An imperfect sustainable lifestyle is what a realistic zero waste lifestyle should be. An imperfect sustainable lifestyle is a realistic version of zero waste and non-aesthetic zero waste. Although there are a lot of problems with zero waste, there are a lot of great things to come out of zero waste, too.
