March 30 – International Day of Zero Waste

Every year, we generate over 2 billion tons of waste.

These are not just numbers – they represent a burden on atmospheric air, surface and groundwater, soil, and biodiversity, which is changing the climate right now.

On December 14, 2022, the UN proclaimed this day to remind us that saving the planet begins not with global slogans, but with our daily habits and the transition to a circular economy.

How can you become part of the solution today?

Refuse the unnecessary (don't take a bag at the checkout that will last 15 minutes but decompose for centuries)

Choose reusable items (a thermal mug saves thousands of disposable cups and bags)

Give items a second life (repair them, donate them to charity, or reuse them)

Sort your waste (for example, collecting plastic bottles or paper already reduces the burden on landfills)

This is not just a reminder of the waste problem, but a call to reconsider our habits!
