What is Zero Waste Week?
Zero Waste Week is a challenge where you actively reduce, reuse, and recycle to minimize waste production. This intensive 7-day program helps you identify waste patterns and develop sustainable habits.
Challenge Overview
Duration: 7 days
Goal: Reduce household waste by 50%
Method: Daily waste audits and habit changes
Day-by-Day Challenge Guide
Day 1: Waste Audit
Take photos of all waste you produce today. Sort into categories: recyclable, compostable, and landfill. This baseline helps measure your progress.
