Our mission

Join a family of four in the UK, as they set about challenging themselves to creating zero waste!
We know that the amount of rubbish we generate in the UK is a serious problem. Landfill space is running out, incineration can lead to toxic fumes being released and we dump many items that still have useful life in them.
For years, we like many other households, have been throwing away one or two bins worth every week of rubbish, but in recent years we’ve become more aware of the impact this is having on our environment, wildlife and our health.
Freak weather, climate change, air pollution and species becoming extinct are all symptoms of our wasteful Western lifestyle.
We created My Zero Waste after being inspired by Almost Mrs Average’s Rubbish Diet. We aim to share information, chart our progress and reach out to like minded people. We hope that we can empower one another with practical, workable and realistic goals and that we can all begin to feel optimistic and inspired to make positive changes.
Many people feel defeated about climate change because it feels so overwhelming. There is a lot of conflicting information and pessimism which leads to confusion and a feeling of defeat before we’ve even started.
The truth is that we can ALL make a difference! If we all come together and make small changes, the collective results can be life changing.
The environment needs to be saved, and together we can do it.
