She takes the opportunity to come back to the basics of consumption with a minimum carbon footprint: dressing in second-hand clothes, removing plastic stretch film from her drawers or even the benefits of local and sustainable food.
The opportunity to make good resolutions while these Friday and Saturday are the days of action for the climate around the world.
Forty grams of waste per year
If Justine Davasse speaks so well of zero waste, it is because she puts these anti-waste and eco-responsible tips into practice on a daily basis.
So much so that it only produces 40 grams of waste per year!
The Belgian of origin also recalls some figures, far from being trivial, such as those of the annual production of world clothing (80 billion), the number of premature deaths per year attributed to the pollution of fine particles (48,000), and the food thrown around the world every second (41 tonnes).
