Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.

Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.

We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.

One way I've been able to (slightly) reduce waste is by buying jars of toothpaste rather than buying it in plastic tubes. Glass jars can be re-used or recycled.

Where do you get it? I've never seen jars of toothpaste before, though I haven't been looking.
