Zero Waste Life : Once you start, you can’t stop “Local Food Cycling”

I started a composting at home in February of this year. For about 3 and a half months, I kept throwing food scraps into the same bag, followed by a three-week maturation period, and now I have nutrient-rich compost! And I sowed three kinds of seeds: 1) radish, 2) arugula, and 3) mini bok choy.

Zero Waste Life : Impressions of 2 Months Composting at Home

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye since I started our first composting at home. Normally, two months is the food scraps-in period, followed by a three-week ripening period to complete the composting process, but since we live in two locations, we only generate food scraps on an average of four days a week in Tokyo. So I decided to continue throwing in garbage for a little longer.

Zero Waste Life : Finally Start Composting At Home

I'm the type of person who pushes forward impulsively against anything. However, I was very cautious when it came to composting. .. But now, it's finally started!

Zero Waste Life : Big Decision!

Since last year, I've been working towards a zero waste lifestyle, starting from where I can, one step at a time, in my own way. Just by being aware of it, I think I have reduced the amount of garbage I produce by about 20%. I would like to make steady efforts to reduce garbage by increasing new lifestyles this year as well.

Low Waste Bulk Grocer in San Francisco

"We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly." -- I had a wonderful experience where what had been imprinted as "zero-waste" was replaced with "low-waste".

Zero Waste Plan | Next Step

I have started five specific initiatives to reduce my waste, and I am thinking about what I can do in addition. In order to avoid forcing myself to start something that I will not be able to continue, I will focus on things that I can enjoy doing and feel comfortable with.

Zero Waste Plan | First Step

At about the same time as my trial of living in two locations, Tokyo and Onjuku, I became aware of the need for a Zero Waste lifestyle. There is a lot of talk about sustainable life, eco life, zero waste, etc., but without thinking too hard about it, I started with the things that I throw away every day and can easily change.
