Step 5: Dine-in, not Take-away!

Hot food in plastic is cancerous. All those takeaway containers pile up waste and most are non-recyclable. Choose to dine-in at a restaurant that serves in re-usable cutlery. And yes, refuse straws. Also more quality time with loved ones.


Step 6: Repair

Before tossing out your torn clothes, broken toys, shoes, cycles, mobile phones or anything, check if they can be repaired. Repair Cafe host repair workshops in your neighbourhood, Mr Pronto repairs shoes, handbags. A lot of cobblers, tailors, electricians and mechanics make they are living out of repairing things!


Step 7: Beg, Borrow or Rent!

Rent cars, toys, party-wear. Furlenco rents furniture, cayal is borrowing platform, olx encourages re-sale. The blossoms book store on church street buys/sells old books or join a local book library. Hosting a party? rent-a-cutlery to make it zero-waste.


Step 8: Chemical-free homes

If lakes are frothing, we are the ones flushing down chemicals in them! When you switch to natural cleaners, we can pour the mopped water to our plants! Check out the complete range of personal care and natural cleaners - safe for skin, safe for the environment.

Step 9: Shop wise!

Buy unpackaged goods - chakki atta over branded atta. Chennai has many local cold-pressed oil centres called 'marachekku ennai'. Choose banana/nuts over chips, choose locally fried chips over branded packs. Not only are they laden with preservatives, they are packed in multi-layer packaging that is non-recyclable. If you have to buy packaged goods, prefer one large size over multiple smaller. Shampoo bottle better than sachet.

Step 10: BYOC!

When you are not sure if a road-side tea vendor or your friend who is hosting a party will serve in reusables, carry your own cutlery. It's cool!  #byocselfie


Congratulations! You just became a zero-waste household!

Pat yourself on the back and spread the message!

Benefits of the Menstrual Cup

1. It is a no rash programme. One of the biggest problems that women face and face for over 5-7 yrs is the rash that pads cloth or disposable pads produce. 35 yrs x 12 months x 5 days =2100 days of our lives we have periods. That is why tampons became popular as women did not like to have anything between their legs that would give them rash. 2. Wearing the cup helps to reduce the white discharge that women suffer from as the cup does not irritate the vaginal mucosa. 3. You can pass urine or stools without needing to remove the menstrual cup –unlike the pads. 4. It is truly “wash and wear”-remove it, wash it and wear it. 5.
