Not every country just toss all trash on the landfill. In Denmark and Sweden (countries I've lived in) most trash is sorted. Our trashcans have several compartments. Food scraps are used for biofuel for busses and garbage trucks (not everyone has the use for compost, but like cleaner busses) Plastic, paper, glass and metal are recycled. The "rest" is burned and used to heat our homes. We can discuss the environmental problems with burning trash, but the plants, burning the trash, is constantly developing systems to clean the smoke and lower their emissions of everything. And I still think it is better than tossing it on the landfill.

This is encouraging:) thanks for the good example

These comics were great! I will definitely start using some of these ideas, but some of them I cannot use. The bamboo toothbrush for example, I have a sonicare electric toothbrush, and so you can change the head without throwing it away. With my hair type, I cannot find a shampoo or conditioner bar that works with my hair. Any suggestions on how to become more sustainable without buying more items?

Any tips and tricks from our fellow readers? I've heard of dried laundry strips that are supposed to work pretty well.

One of the main problems with trying to live eco friendly is the cost of eco friendly things. Do you know how expensive bamboo toothbrushes are!?

These were all very encouraging and adorable! Great job :)😃

Really nice art style and an amazing message! Thank you Mira, you're doing an amazing job!

I think this is great! Although like @toast said, it 'isn't enough,' this is still a step in the right direction to make people more aware of the simple decisions they make that can impact the environment, whether it be negative or positive. I think people should do whatever they can to promote helping our environment, and having a zero-waste lifestyle is a great way to do so. I'm only 13, of course, so I can't exactly make my own choices on what I buy because I don't really buy anything, but people who do should totally make an effort to just think about how their 3-second choices will affect the environment long-term. I love the way you spread a great message in such cute comics! 100% support!

The smugness is palpable

These were nicely drawn but also very inspiring

I want to be honest, if that fox was in my friend group I'd hate her so much

Well, it's cute and all, and people can do their part for the environment, but, you do you, Mira, and stop trying to tell Other People how to live their lives. Why can't people just mind their own business these days?
