Relying on Zero wastage

I often used to think about the world in which we are living in. Could we recognise ourselves? What is the guideline or purpose of living?The more we are developing in science and technology, the more we are ruining the sanctity of mother earth. Today everywhere the forest and natural resources are being destroyed for the sake of industrialisation and modernisation. Not only that, we are ravaging our earth for petroleum products and minerals making this earth hollow inside, knowingly or unknowingly. Technology is making our life easier making us inactive and unhealthy. We workout at gyms, while our ancestors are engaged with physical activities. My point is, can't we live in a world with minimum requirements? This nature once destroyed it wouldn't be the same again with placing reflection of a destruction. As my thinking can't we go back to our ancestors. I am saying about a life with minimalism and zero wastage. Zero wastage seems to stick up on everything and find a new purpose for them to use again while minimalistic lifestyle seems to get rid of unneeded things . Zero wastage refers to conservation of all resources by reusing, reducing, responsible production and recovery of products. Where no trash should burry on lands and burn resulted less pollution. The zero wastage simply means reusing the resources. Where as minimalism refers to live with minimum requirements of life,a life without unnecessary things or living with the things you actually needed faraway from desires. For example as minimalist way of living I should throw my unnecessary clothes from my wardrobe but as with zero waste habits I should reuse them .We may have in our mind about donating those clothes but donations frequently does carry the problems to someone else with our bad consumer choices. But what I say is a minimalistic life with zero waste living will carry out a life with simplicity. Its all about our mindset how much we concern about our environment. We should choose and buy products wisely,what we are buying is environment friendly or not and check the sustainability of the products.Always try to fully used up your products,buy only necessary products,not to try crave about luxury, donate your things you don't need to the needy ones and ensure about the use. We have to give up on everything which are not necessary to survive and intend to reuse the resources what we have. Minimalism lifestyle and zero waste living would be a great contribution to a greener and healthier tomorrow . Both can be the great staircase for joyous life in addition to reduce your impact to the environment.At last I want to convey some of my ways for living life simpler what I think like we could grow our own foods, vegetables, medicinal plants, we can acquire many types of medicine from nature itself, we can reduce the use of readymade products,use environment friendly biodegradable products, construct our house which are environment friendly instead of concrete one's, intend to plant more and more trees. we can reduce the use of vehicles which are responsible for air pollution as well as consuming fuel, The less fuel we burn the less will be the destruction. We should also think about our upcoming generation what we will be left behind us for them. So, we should give more importance to the nature instead of our own luxurious life and must raise our voice for the nature. Nature is pleading.
