While Mehndi is still looking for package free oils, Mugdha is trying to convince her family and ends up with some or the other plastic waste. "I've seen people switching to only water for washing their hair, but it didn't work for me.At the end of the day, zero waste lifestyle is a journey and everyone is following a path best suited for him or her. But a few good Samaritans of the city # are making an effort to live a zero-waste lifestyle to help reduce the waste being produced at an individual level. "It's a big step in zero waste. Composting at home As the last week’s high tide washed ashore nine metric tonnes of trash along the Marine Drive, almost nine times the garbage collected from the iconic promenade every day, it brought back the focus on the amount of junk the city generates. Natural and package-less alternatives are difficult to find, especially in case of store-brought items. According to the 26-year-old, even small changes like using a fountain pen is much better than using plastic single-use pens or refills." She makes everything from cookies, bread to almond milk and cakes at home for her 7-year-old son.From using home remedies for washing hair to creating their own compost, these people are making conscious efforts to reduce waste production.All the waste we produce, whether it is an empty pack of chips or sanitary napkins, either ends up in the landfill or chokes life out of the ocean. If you don't make it at home, sourcing it from outside without packaging is a little difficult. She also replaced the number of bottles of shampoos and conditioners with homemade versions.
