Bill Mollison is the father of permaculture. He used to say something of the sort of: "trash is a resource ill-used". Nature doesn't generate trash. Everything is part of a chain, of a process.

Oils and fats are a horrible hazard if we pour them down the drain, so I realized early on that I needed to take responsibility over any waste related with fats, given the fact that I don't compost them.

As I mentioned in Part 1, composting took over 70% of the load of my trash, allowing me to go from one garbage bag a day to one each 3-4 days. This is good enough, but the best is the opportunity it created.

I started a zero waste journey some years back. I'm not there yet, but getting closer. In these posts I plan to show what worked and didn't worked for me, in the hope that it might be useful for someone.
