Zero Waste

Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.
We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.

As someone with kids, I still feel like I "hate Christmas". Not only all the waste, especially packaging, but the "obligation" to buy all your nieces/nephews toys - which has turned into just buying things off their wishlists that the parents picked.
so... why don't i just buy for my kids, and you yours, and we'll see you for dinner?
but then yes - all the waste! Having to "pick something", and then of course grandma buys the most random, lowest quality stuff I have ever seen. I don't even know how she finds them.
And one of my kids Birthday is just a few weeks before, and the other a few weeks after.
The house just explodes with crap between November and January.
My daughter is in early Jan... this year literally made us call our mortgage broker and start looking for a bigger house.
