Welcome to Reduce our Waste!  This website is dedicated to adapting to a Zero Waste,  Low Carbon, Minimalist lifestyle while still having fun.  This website outlines our efforts as a Canadian family to reduce our waste  without adversely affecting their quality of life.  Not a small challenge!  It all starts with the 5 Rs:  Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot (Compost).  Join us as we explore these 5 Rs and see how we have been reducing our waste and taking action on climate change.   When we do things together and in community, it’s amazing what we can achieve.
