A zero-waste minimalistic lifestyle is one that most of us have either been hearing about or been an advocate of. 

But what does it even mean? 

Would it make sense to mindlessly hop on this bandwagon?Zero-waste lifestyle is a lifestyle change and an incremental journey towards leading a sustainable life. One that influences all environmental areas by preventing resource extraction, reducing the number of materials sent to the landfill or incinerator, and reducing pollution from producing, transporting, or disposing of materials.
