I have been a zero-waste advocate since embracing this unconventional lifestyle back in September 2017.
It was surprising that my random attendance at a community talk turned out to be life-changing.
I was deeply inspired by a 40-minute talk given by Claire Chancelot, the founder of Malaysia's first zero waste store. The Hive, and I gradually adopted the lifestyle one step at a time.
Be it BYO containers, or zero waste feminine care, I got really into this eco lifestyle.
Within a few months, I found that I had benefited tremendously in various aspects of my life: financially, physically, socially, and spiritually. This experience made me eager to share with the world.
Since then, I have been giving zero waste talks to the community. I am also a speaker for Zero Waste Malaysia and have had the privilege of delivering Zero Waste talks to various corporations and organizations.
In these talks, we focus on:
1. How we can benefit ourselves while leading an eco-friendly lifestyle,
2. The 5Rs of Zero Waste Principles,
3. Navigating social situations gracefully to mitigate or avoid waste, and
4. Sharing access to low waste lifestyle choices.
