Want a zero-waste lifestyle? Here's how you can start

Sustainable living is rapidly emerging as a mainstream movement because of climate change, waste reduction and minimizing consumption at the forefront. These concerns are understandably influencing the consumer mindset and generating a lot of demands for products that are more environmentally sustainable.

The Philippines is ranked third as the ocean plastic polluters in the world., according to Bryan Chua, brand co-founder of Wonderhome Naturals. “We produce around 2.7 million kilograms of plastic waste per year. Quite surprisingly, 74 percent of the plastic that end up in the ocean are actually plastic that we already throw away in our trash can.”

“If we can’t do away with plastics right now, at least look for companies that are extended producer responsibility that are responsible like maybe the design,” Oposa said. Jamilan, for her part, shared how to get started with the less-waste journey or lifestyle, which is not new to her. Raised by frugal parents in a rural area in Mindoro, Jamilan grew up re-using the resources that she had as much as possible.

Day in, day out, it boils down to choices. Jamilan’s lifestyle changed so much since 2017 when she started the zero-waste lifestyle and especially since she became a mom. “Zero is the goal, but before we can even get there, why not start with less?” she said. “One of my considerations is make sure the product is made in the Philippines,” said Jamilan. “Supporting local, made with natural ingredients from the Philippines, gentler and better, ethically sourced, the farmers or workers who made these products are paid well.
