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.

This was one of my first — and one of my biggest! — zero waste swaps. (lemmy.ml)

No more non-recyclable plastic waste from the razors, and no more non-recyclable cans for shaving cream! Plus, the safety razor gives me less skin irritation. I bought a box of 100 blades in ~2013 and haven't run out yet!

What do you use for shaving cream?

Shaving soap. It's in the photo, in the jar.
