It was sightly difficult to have a zero waste day. I had to be more mindful about what I was using and what I was purchasing. I switched single use items for sustainable alternatives that I already had at home. I brought my reusable bag to the store and bought items that did not contain plastic packaging, which was a big challenge. I realized that I throw away a lot of plastic and other trash. This day made me realize that I need to think more about what I actually need instead of what I want. Zero waste can be intimidating. I do not think people need to aim for perfection because that is unrealistic for most people. Although, I think it is important to do your best at reducing the waste you produce. Even small steps can make a difference.
