A growing number of waste experts think that shooting for zero waste is realistic, not just for individuals, but for large organizations, even cities. And there’s good reason to try: waste is a major contributor to global warming, both in the production of goods that end up in the trash, and the emission of greenhouse gases from the trash itself.

Conservation International CEO and UCLA Visiting Researcher M.

Singer provides simple tips to help you start down the road of reducing your waste, even if you never hit zero.
