Zero Waste Philosophy as a power tool to improve our Planet.
For years we've been told that recycling was the right way. Nobody was feeling guilty to throw away everything we did not need anymore, as long as it could be thrown in the correct recycling bin. But with waste piling up, we realized that a more radical resolution has to be made. Individuals have to be reeducated, involving all of us in sustaining a circular economy model, that takes into consideration the final journey of every item we produce and buy.
Sustainability can be cool.
Sustainability and environment focus start-up Zero Waste Shanghai, in collaboration with the coworking space theDesk, is glad to present a disruptive series of talks to raise awareness about the Zero Waste philosophy and how to contribute to a better Planet, from our day-to-day or inside a company.
Zero Waste Shanghai will also receive the support of Shaving in the Dark, a Shanghai- based collective of artists with a passion for comics and illustration. They do whatever they can to make art more funny and accessible. Shaving in the Dark will be responsible of all the incredible graphic materials matching our talks. On every encounter, a different artist will create a memorable poster inspired by our topic, creating a small but impactful piece of art from each one of our events.
The power of the Community.
Alizée B., founder of Zero Waste Shanghai, will guide you through 12 talks approaching the Zero Waste lifestyle -in different formats- in all aspects of our life, from our daily life to the work environment.
At Zero Waste Shanghai we believe in the power of the community to help to fight the climate crisis and plastic pollution. We all can make an impact: how we live, act, speak has ripple effects on our environment. We can and must be part of the solution, reducing the waste in our world.
Among the topics that Alizée will introduce, you will find: how to divert trash in Shanghai, redesign with a sustainable vision, Zero Waste cities in China, minimalism, circular economy, the importance of sustainability within education, and a lot more, so we invite you to follow us!
One Wednesday every month, the Sustainable Talks will be held at theDesk Bridge 8 -a pioneer coworking and event space from HK -they bring stirring productive collisions among the rich resource of entrepreneurs and global personalities around the area. All of the talks will cost 50 RMB. All the attendants will also enjoy some seasonal snacks and fruits, thanks to Epermarket, an online supermarket experts in fresh and imported groceries.
The Talk #1: NO: breaking through the preconceptions around a Zero Waste lifestyle, was held on January 15th. Alizée shared her experience about shifting to a more sustainable life, and how, after all, small actions matter. At the same time Zovi, artist, musician and cofounder of Shaving in the Dark will delight the assistants with a drawing performance, illustrating the words of Alizée.
After the talk we hosted a Zero Waste CNY party giving the opportunity to interact, exchange and discover sustainable products -food and beverage- through “tasting stations”.
We would love it if you join us the next Talk
Wednesday 11th, February, Talk #2: Trash
Besides the financial and environmental impact, China break-up is creating a huge cultural impact. For years we have been told that recycling was the right way. Nobody was feeling guilty to throw everything we did not need anymore away as long as it could be thrown in the correct recycling bin. But with waste piles up more and more, citizens need to be reeducated and need all of us to help sustaining a new circular economy that takes into consideration the final life of everything we buy or produce.
So during the talk we will learn about:
Where trash go now that China ban the import plastics?, New waste sorting Law inShanghai, How To Divert Trash in Shanghai, the New Generation Z... and we will play the Trash Heros game to discovered our knowledge about sustainability.
