hi starchild, indiebird here! Love the site!

Hello Mel,

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We love it when our readers stop by and say hello or share something about their own recycling journey.

What are the facilities like in your area?

Well, talking of waste, where do we start? The most important thing is that we don’t have guilt or fear pangs about the matter [substance ] that is all around us. If you start thinking about girating atoms, they are everywhere, depending on whether they are ’stuck’ in a polystyrine container, or gently rotting in our compost bucket or growing fresh and new in the garden. We tend to think of ‘rubbish’ as bad and living as ‘good’, but they are both part of the whole process of growth and degeneration. What happens though with a substance that is SO contracted it cannot change - like plastic? Are we sometimes like that too? Let’s all make sure we understand the whole process and not get ’stuck’ in fear or condemnation.Love you !

Hi Angela!

Thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment.

Looking at our waste as a spiritual aspect of life is something we’ve not covered on the site. Initially myzerowaste it’s a resource of information and hopefully, inspiration for others to join in and look at their waste in a different light.

I agree we must not get fearful or feel guilty ( or try to make others feel this way), but I do feel that we need to do something. We are already seeing signs of our decadent and wasteful lifestyles in this country and across the world; especially with the devastating effects of our plastic waste on marine life and the way our CO2 emissions are leading to climate change.

There is clearly a fine balance between revering and respecting the environment, accepting what is as perfect and whole in this moment and getting paralysed by fear so that we lose sight of the bigger picture. I agree with what you say up to a point, but I wouldn’t want to use that as an excuse to do nothing.

And if I put my condemnation and judgmental head on, I hope you’ll be here to give me a nudge in the right direction - I’m well aware that although I strive not to, I am very capable of judging and criticising others

Hello Poppy

I believe I know who you are

We’d love a link to your site - thank you so much! I’ve just taken the quickest of looks at your site and in the words of Arnie ‘ I’ll be back’; I never knew all these things about you. What a rich and wonderful life you lead……..

Do you mind if I post your tips regarding food waste in my monthly green tips section. I write for a small newspaper wethepeoplenews.org in the coastal City of Corpus Christi Texas.

Thank You
