There are numerous ways to become involved in the ZrO Waste movement. Scroll down to see how you can save your money and the planet.
Battery Recharging
A lesser-known fact: the upfront cost is indeed worth it.
500. That’s how many times the average rechargeable battery can be used.
3-4x. Rechargeable batteries are only about three times as expensive as single-use batteries.
If you look to the right, you’ll see a portable solar panel charger. Capable of charging using sunlight or lightbulb light, this panel costs ~$35 and efficiently charges household batteries.
Apparel
The fashion industry harms the planet through massive water use, carbon emissions, waste, and chemical pollution. Producing a single cotton t-shirt can require 2,700 liters of water, and the industry generates 92 million tons of textile waste each year. Fast fashion’s disposable culture worsens this impact by driving overproduction and waste.
Buying secondhand clothing reduces waste, conserves resources, and lowers carbon emissions by keeping items in use longer. It also saves consumers money, offering high-quality fashion at a fraction of retail prices. Participating in the secondhand market is a simple way to benefit the planet and your wallet.
Mini Kiln
Traditional kilns consume large amounts of energy and contribute to pollution. Using recycled materials to build a mini kiln reduces waste and lowers the demand for new resources, helping to cut carbon emissions and resulting waste.
Why It Matters
This kiln is energy-efficient, reducing its environmental impact compared to conventional models. It also saves users money by offering an eco-friendly option without sacrificing function. Choosing products like this kiln makes a positive difference.
