Nat's Secret Garden

The biggest challenge in reducing our waste was finding balance ⚖, figuring out what worked for us and what did not. There were no books 📚or blogs on how to eliminate trash when we started, so I had to google alternatives, test many recipes and how-to's, interview my mom, grandma and mother in-law about how people lived before our consumerist society. Along the way, I got too wrapped up into homemaking: At one point, I was making our cheese 🧀 , bread, yogurt, soy milk, butter, toothpaste, deodorant etc. These practices were too extreme, too time consuming for my full time job, and therefore unsustainable. We eventually dropped them for the sake of simplicity. For example, we realized that there was no need for us to make bread 🥖if we could buy it unpackaged with a cloth bag either directly from the bakery or from the bakery bins. We found that for Zero Waste to be sustainable in a household, one has to adopt alternatives that fits his/her schedule/needs/family and are feasible in the long run, for life. We found that zero waste becomes a lifestyle when you let it simplify your life, not complicate it. What has been your biggest challenge in adopting waste-free living? http://bit.ly/2WD6TZp
