10 Zero Waste influencers (II)
In the first part of this article, I mentioned 5 renowned environmental activists: Bea Johnson, Kathryn Kellogg, Lauren Singer, Rob Greenfield and Greta Thunberg. They have contributed with their great work to Zero Waste, which is a worldwide tendency that bets on Reject, Reduce, Reuse/Reutilize, Recycle and Rot, to which FySelf wants to contribute with the creation of a universal platform that allows the reduction of paper usage.
I’ll now share the names of 5 other influencers of the TOP 10 that I started last week.
5 Influencers to follow for a world with less trash:
1. Anne Marie Bonneau
She’s the creator of the Zero Waste Chef blog, where, with grace, she narrates how she went into this lifestyle. Anne started in 2011, with the elimination of plastic and then she focused on diminishing her kitchen wastes.
In this entertaining interview for CuerpoMente, she affirms an excellent idea that we should all take into account and apply in our lifes: «Before I let myself be tempted with something at a store, I ask myself: how will I throw this away when it’s no longer useful?”.
2. Gabriela Baeza Zamora
This Mexican is also very well known for her labor in favor of Zero Waste in Latin America. Through her documentary short film “El Reto” (The Challenge), she has popularized the movement in the region.
In it, Gabriela shows how the process to join the movement, for both her family and her. She highlights that the change starts by one self. Her Zero Trash Project (Proyecto Cero Basura) that started with the referred documentary, reaches more tan 60 thousand followers on Facebook.
