Zero Waste Essentials

Image
                I am not 100% zero-waste, especially living here in the Philippines where it seems like everything is packed in plastic. There is not a lot of "physical" zero waste stores here and when I order zero waste products online in comes in plastic packaging from the courier. But I am trying to reduce my impact on the environment. I started with limiting my use of single use plastic, such as straws, plastic bags, plastic plates, plastic cups, and plastic utensils.
