''We don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly, we need lots of people doing zero waste imperfectly''.

I have transitioned somethings over to a low waste lifestyle slowly over the course of about a year, as I have slowly gotten into the movement. This includes:

• Mainly only second-hand clothing (Some exclusions to the rule)
• Buy all fresh food without plastic wrap (infrequently buy fresh produce with unrecyclable aspects)
• Storage staples plastic-free, and often organic (Lentils, pasta, oats)
• Getting more into gardening and foraging!
• Shampoo/conditioner bars (Lush)
• Zero waste Soap (Ecotopia)
• Reusable water bottle only. (Not bought a bottle for a year)
• Reusable Hot drinks cup
• Reusable Bags Only (Very infrequently have to buy a bag)
• Reusable feminine pads (infrequent, Thanks to the pill!)

Buying nothing at all is better for the environment than buying second hand or plastic-free. I don't condone getting rid of something usable just because it has plastic in it.

Here are some inspiring tv shows/movies/documentaries/videos to help motivate you! (I'm only recommending ones I have watched myself):

• Our planet - (Netflix - A David Attenborough documentary) This was one of my first inspirations, and it has really had a lasting effect on me, I'd recommend it to everyone as it is a really beautifully made show with a powerful message about how climate change affects all areas of the world.
• 50 Minutes to save the world (YouTube - Amir Zakeri)
• My morning routine in 2050 (YouTube - Kristen leo)
