#myfail

I have always been intrested in chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences and as soon as I started studying chemistry at uni, I found out more and more about plastic and all its negative side effects. 

As a diver I learned about plastic waste way before that but in the last two years I found out more and more about waste and other problems associated with plastic.

About a year ago I found out about the zero waste movement and I was fascinated by it. I came across Lauren Singe, Bea Johnson and other zero wasters in ted talks and blogs.

I decided to start zero waste there and then...and that was a mistake. At first it went ok and the only waste I made that wasn’t recycable or reuseable were fruit and vegetable stickers. 

Because I lived in a small village in the swiss countryside I did not have a lot of possibilities to bulk shop and so I lived of vegetables and rice and I soon became bored and sick of these two things.

Soon I stopped my attempt at zero waste but not without being more thoughtful about my purchases and integrating a few zero waste swaps into my routine.

Forward to February this year, I moved to Zurich and I started zero waste all over again. This time slower and more aware of my needs and my happiness.
