"Going Zero Waste” is the first episode of the “Zero Waste” series hosted by Nefeli & Julia. In this episode, we start a zero waste conversation! We discuss zero waste movement from the 2000s until now, consumption culture, the financial difficulties, the “controversies” of it. We also discuss simple ways to get involved with zero waste with the help of our guest, a UvA student that shares her journey on zero waste and sustainable living. Don’t forget to turn a critical eye to your consumption habits!
