PEOPLE

Why, according to Mara, is a packaging-free life more rewarding and less stressful?

Do you know people who live a Zero Waste lifestyle or do packaging-free shopping?

How come the Zero Waste lifestyle has not yet caught on? What do you think needs to happen to make more people willing to participate?

2.

PLANET

Why do you think Mara chooses to live plastic-free?

Make a list of things you use everyday that contain plastic. Also think about microplastics! What ecological alternatives can you think of for all these items?

What makes Mara want to live self-sufficient as well as packaging-free?

3.

PROSPERITY

On the website of Zero Waste Europe you can find ways to take action on Zero Waste living. Have you ever been to a packaging-free shop? Drop by a location near you soon!

Hardly any regular shops and supermarkets join the Zero Waste movement. How come, do you think?

4.

PLACE

Whereas Mara feels guilty about the waste she produces as an individual, Kamel does not feel personally responsible for it. Who do you think is responsible for the waste problem: individuals (as consumers), companies (as producers) or the government (as legislator)?

ME
