UMich Zero Waste Challenge

I hate wasting stuff. I'm a bit of a hoarder.

It's such a waste to waste things! If you've ever visited a landfill you will see how much you don't want to send things there. Reusing things sometimes by sharing them with others and living as lightly on the planet as you can shows your love for Mother Nature and for your fellow beings

It will make the earth a better place for generations to come.

I want to reduce my environmental impact to show I can live with less and further counteract my consumerism and consumption

I'm looking for new ways to reduce my environmental impact and promote a circular economy, and love learning about these topics :)

The resources we we have are limited. Humans and our wants are unlimited. We need to be doing something about this, and the best way to do something is together as a community of sustainably minded people concerned about our world.

A healthy environment means healthy people. Being outside in nature and being able to drink fresh water and breathe fresh air the the assurance of knowing the harmony of people, animals, plants, and weather can live life together in a sustainable manner does a lot for my mental health.
