Those who follow me will know I’ve been doing a lot of work to become more zero-waste lately. To celebrate my achievements I have created this little quiz so you can find out how much of a tosser you really are. Are you a trier? A doer or a zero? Remember, trash is for tossers!
[wp_quiz id=”4763″]What did we learn about being zero-waste?
- Reduce or eliminate plastic consumption, especially of single-use items.
- Replace everyday plastic items with eco-friendly alternatives and dispose of your used plastic products responsibly.
- Start making ecobricks with the non-recyclable plastics you use – check out www.ecobricks.org for everything you need to know about them.
- Raise awareness of alternative choices to your friends and family (and anyone else who will listen!)
- Exert your power as a consumer – you will be surprised how much power you have.
- Recognise that recycling is only a part of the solution and does not always represent effective waste management.
- Look beyond plastic to see your waste holistically, going zero-waste is much more than focusing on plastics – it’s about taking responsibility for what you use and consume.

Love the quiz very funny 🙂 but ecobricks is one word, and remeber plastic can only be downcycled. Love The Watercress Queen
Thank you Lucie and oops on the ecobricks! I will correct that. When you say about plastic – it can be used for other things – is this not up-cycling? E.g. I have a spray bottle which used to have conditioner in it and I use it to put my homemade spray vinegar cleaner in it. To me, this is an example of up-cycling plastic to avoid it going to landfill. Perhaps it’s better described as re-use or repurposing? I get that recycling is essentially a false economy so to me, re-using/repurposing plastic things into other useful things is better. What do you think?
