Self-Reflection:
After joining this webinar, I understand the benefits of the zero-waste lifestyle. It made me realize my own responsibility to start to practising the zero waste lifestyle and keep update with the world issue like climate change. It has inspired me to practice the zero waste lifestyle to make the world become better. I am persistent to do whatever I have decided to do, it will make my path on zero waste easier and keep on going with it.
There are many challenges that I may face during the way of practising zero waste lifestyle such as laziness and environment. I need to change my mindset to overcome the laziness, by starting on small things like take my own bag for shopping and refuse to use the plastic bags. I need to trust whatever I am trying to attempt the zero waste lifestyle and also encourage others to practice as well.
