Plastic pollution is one of the earth's greatest challenges that humans have faced and often neglected. Anyone who uses plastic has caused problems in one way or another. In order to solve the environmental problems, more and more people are starting to live a simple and environmental-friendly life called zero-waste lifestyle.

When you choose a zero-waste lifestyle, you pay more attention to how your consumption habits influence the environment. You're more careful about what you buy and how you use it. So how can you live a zero-waste life? Actually when looking at your rubbish, you'll grasp what it is.

There are two main types of rubbish. The first is food packaging, so we should learn how to shop for things with no big pack or package-free. The second is product packaging, so we should learn how to make our own products in a green way. With our efforts, we will reduce a large amount of rubbish. Shopping for second-hand goods is also important. Instead of buying new clothes and putting new waste into the waste cycle, we should buy things that are second-hand or can be totally recycled. 

There are many advantages of living a zero-waste life. Firstly, we can save money by making things ourselves and buying second-hand goods. Second-hand clothes are usually less expensive than new ones. Next, we can eat better to stay healthy. We should buy fresh fruits and vegetables to reduce the waste of resources when processing food. 

Although government policies can make a difference, it needs everyone's efforts to completely solve the problem. From now on, let's begin to live a green life.
