Scientific studies have also demonstrated the negative effects of plastic and its disposal and dispersion in the environment on human health. Substances such as Bisphenol A and phthalates released...

Zero waste is a way of thinking (and acting) An environmentally friendly philosophy of life, based on the idea that the best way to live in an environmentally sustainable way is to minimize its impact on Earth. How? By limiting the amount of rubbish produced and reusing your waste as a secondary raw material. In this way, the latter do not become useless waste but are transformed into resources. It is a silent form of rebellion against consumerism. We like to use the term silent - although perhaps we should say proactive or proactive - because it is based more on waste than on complaint...

Before sending them in the damp, we can let them dry in the open air and use them in many other ways! In the garden: broken up in pots at the foot of the plants, they provide a good source of calcium to the ground and keep away the snails For cleaning: once dry and finely shredded, the shells can be used to remove resistant incrustations from the surfaces...

Every day, a lot of waste ends up in landfills. But is everything you throw away really useless? We asked ourselves that. And we discovered that most of the objects that end up in the trash every day, actually still have something to give. That's why we are convinced that reuse can become a resource, economic and ecological, available to everyone. For this reason, we have drawn up a list of the most common waste that ends up in the garbage, and that instead can have a second life thanks to reuse...

The path to Zero Waste is individual and very personal. To start with implies changing many small things in one's daily life, and then gradually involves other aspects of life and inevitably also the people around us. Obviously, this involvement includes people with whom we have a romantic relationship. Things can be fine if the idea of drastically reducing one's waste is shared with one's partner right from the start. It's different if one of them has a minimum interest, or is not interested at all...

Repair what you break How many times have you heard that phrase? It's the norm now, but most of the time repair is the best choice in the long run. When something breaks, consider whether you really want to throw it in the trash, while also thinking about its value for the environment. ALTERNATIVE: Fixing a broken object is not only often cheaper than buying...

Each of us, as we began our journey towards waste reduction, felt overwhelmed by the amount of new things to buy, learn how to self-produce, correct behaviors. Adopting a lifestyle-oriented towards reducing consumption (and consequently waste) can seem difficult, burdensome and demanding. The path is made up of small steps, to be savored with calm and conviction. No one will ask you to be perfect, but simply more aware. You can take the 10 steps as a personal challenge, in which you dictate the times and ways...

Is it possible to reconcile the desire to reduce waste with being a parent? It is already so difficult to be parents, how do you become zero waste parents? If the children are young, you will have less difficulty (at least from that point of view, hurray!), because you will make the decisions. But what to do in the case of older children, who already have their own tastes and habits? We have thought of general aspects that go beyond the advice that is also good for adults (limit disposable, do not waste ...

The true cost is a story about the clothes we wear, the people who make them and the impact on our world. The idea of the documentary began in 2013, when all over the world newspapers talked about the massacre of Rana Plaza, Bangladesh, with the death of 1,138 textile workers due to the collapse of a factory. The workers had repeatedly reported cracks in the building, but the management had done nothing. Tragedies of this kind are frequent, with an almost $3 trillion a year industry wanting low-cost products at the expense of production costs and worker safety...

We know, some of you will find it strange just to call them by their name, but we will have to face them for the rest of our lives which is worth getting used to. Boys: don't worry, menstruation is not contagious, you too will get used to it like our fellow patients. It is estimated that a woman in her lifetime uses at least 12,000 absorbents, going to spend up to 3500 euros, and it is absurd to think that at each cycle you lose only 30-40 milliliters of blood, as much as a shot, with an average of 24 liters total in a lifetime...

Maybe you don't know it, but in the most unthinkable streets of your cities hidden treasures are hidden, would you like to discover them together? What can you find? Second-hand markets can sell endless categories of items: from clothes for the whole family, furniture and furnishings and everything you need for everyday life, books, comics, music and much more is there to wait for you. But why, you might wonder, is it better to buy used instead of new ones? The wallet thanks you! There's nothing...

Starting a path towards a sustainable life at a young age is certainly something very appreciable, but it also involves considerable difficulties, first of all the fact of still living with your parents. Whether it is a teenager or an older boy, whether the parents are tolerant or against this choice, the difficulty of starting a zero-waste path while still in the family is unquestionable. Often living with parents is not economically independent, and as a result, is little or no included in the choices that affect the home...
