Zero Waste Challenge

ESN-IAC challenges you to take part in Zero Waste Challenge!

The Earth Overshoot Day this year was already on 29th of July. On that day, humanity exhausted the biological resources our planet can renew this whole year.

Or maybe you have heard of Great Pacific Garbage Patch? It's the largest collection of ocean plastic in the world. It's not harming only marine animals and birds, but also human.

Loads of plastics and other trash end up in our oceans every day, leading in to massive problems in the whole ecosystem.

There's a lot of things that has to be done to even slow down the climate change or help the oceans, but what can one small person do?

ESN-IAC challenges you to really consider your consuming for one week. How much do you cause waste? Do you throw everything in the same trash bin, do you litter the environment or do you recycle each and every of your carbage? Is there maybe something you could change in your behaviour?

Because this is a challenge, we also have a prize for the winner. How to win or even take part?
Rules in a nutshell: recycle everything you can (biowaste, plastic, paper, cardboard, metal, glass, cans & bottles...) and gather all the mixed waste that's left out in to a bag/jar.
After the Challenge week, take a photo of your mixed waste and send it to us (on facebook or DM on Instagram) with a small story how you think you succeeded or what was easy/difficult.

During the week we'll post Zero Waste themed stuff on our Instagram story, so make sure you follow us on there too!

Changing your whole lifestyle to Zero Waste doesn't happen in a week, but for one week we want you to consider how much you consume and how much you cause waste.

WHAT? Zero Waste Challenge by ESN-IAC
WHEN? Week 48, 25.11.-1.12.
WHY? Because our globe is important for us.
HOW? Recycle all your rubbish, gather the mixed waste and send a photo of it after the challenge.
