Try your best to create as little trash and recycling as possible during the challenge and collect any waste you accidentally create.
What counts as waste? Anything new thing you acquire during the week including wrappers, bags, containers, receipts, even food scraps if you don’t have access to a compost.

Why collect the waste?
At the end of the week you’ll have a trash audit, and you’ll be able to see very clearly what kinds of waste you personally tend to create. That is half the battle! After this week you’ll be perfectly equipped to reduce the waste you’re still generating.

Toilet paper: Unless you’re able to install a bidet, try to buy TP in paper wrapping rather than plastic. We recommend Who Gives A Crap 100% recycled.
Work associated waste: Any waste you produce as part of your job doesn’t count for the purposes of this challenge.
Medicine: Continue taking any medication you need to feel your best, and don’t worry about the trash.

What if it’s too hard?
Going zero waste is going to be a little hard, because most of our systems are built for disposability! But not to worry, there is no “failing” even if all you do is collect a week’s worth of trash and recycling you’ll have learned so much and be totally ready to make more sustainable choices going forward.

This oil has both ripe and green flavors. The aroma highlights are green grass, herbaceous and floral undertones. It has the pronounced nuttiness, buttery-ness, tropical and ripe fruit flavors balanced by very grassy and herbaceous aromas of green apple. This oil is well-balanced and complex with many aroma nuances that taste incredibly fresh.
This delicate SELECT olive oil is perfect for fish, mild salads, mild cheese, yogurt, eggs, ice cream and seafood.
