6th Step to ZeroWaste - Go Digital Wallet

Dear Planeteers,  

Thank you so much for your continuous interest on this website, where you get information on contributing to a better planet. At the end of the day, it's choices we make for adopting a better lifestyle.  

Today I am going to share my experiences about the changes I made to make a positive impact on the environment towards my goal of going zero waste. From the title you might guessed it Right, A digital wallet can reduce a lot of plastic waste. Also, help us maintain our finances better. 

Let me start this article by sharing my experience with my recent Bank visit. When I was at the bank, they were quite surprised to know I do not have a checkbook or an ATM card for my account. Their first question was, How I manage to use my account? My answer was simple and straight, I use A Digital Wallet for money transfers, for paying at the stores, and I pay bills online. I explained them that I don't use plastic cards and checkbooks to reduce plastic and paper waste.   

 Today Digital Technology is very secured, easy  and is continuously improving, with #ApplePay, Improved version of #AndroidPay, #SamsungPay, #PayPal digital wallets, there are great options for users to choose at their convenience. One thing for sure these digital wallets need to be secured with a strong level of access on your phone, but that is a different thing altogether, But today I am going to tell you what motivated me to have this digital wallet.  

Picture 1: my plastic card before moving digital wallet and also a picture of my wallet. 


Picture2: my new wallet (there are not many plastic cards at all, other than few which do not have options like DL).  


Now, do I need to worry about losing my wallet? I don't think so. Whenever I go shopping, I don't need to pull out my wallet each time I but something, all I do is use my phone to pay.  
 

The advantage of switching to digital wallets: 
You will reduce the new plastic demand (which is used to make the plastic cards). Indirectly we are helping to lessen the emission of toxic chemicals in the atmosphere. Assist in reducing energy, natural resource consumption.
Easy to maintain your wallet, fewer chances that you will lose one of your cards.
Easy to maintain your store loyalty card, and your digital wallets will remind you about the rewards and offers. 

Switch to digital gift cards: 
This step is the most important step towards making a positive impact on the environment by avoiding plastic cards. Mostly, We tend to give a plastic gift card to a family/friends, on an average each household buys at least 12 to 20 gift cards (plastic cards). Once they are redeemed just imagine the quantity of cards we trash?  

Next time when you want to give a gift card try to give the e-gift card to a family member or a friend and tell them why you like to share an e-gift card instead of a plastic card. We may motivate a few to start contributing for this good cause. Or share this article with them. 

Together if we can reduce plastic, by switching some simple habits, we can make a big difference. If each family can reduce or avoid plastic cards usage, on average, we are going to cut around 30 cards per year. (this including gift cards). Now imagine if 1 million people can make this switch that is an enormous number. So help us to this achieve this great goal and lets help ourselves to have a better planet.

Babysteps to Zero waste home

Dear Planeteers,  I am very proud that whatever I learned at my childhood from grandparents is helping me to contribute to the better environment. I learned how to grow food at home from my grandparents, also reuse and make my choices careful about purchases.  Today I am going to share some of the tips which I used to reduce my impact ton environment. Buying locally made bar SOAP (for bath), this will not have any plastic or paper cover to it, and also made with natural ingredients. Using Coconut Oil for hair and body as conditioner/moisturizer, this step can help reduce your plastic waste and also having less amount of clutter around you. There are other options as well, in my childhood my grandparent used butter as a moisturizer for me for few years. Using metallic RAZOR in which will be changing the blades (which don't have any plastic) and used blades can be recycled.  Growing simple food items at home, such as Tomato, Cholli, Basil, Mint, CurryLeaf, Egg

Zero Waste: Making Red Chili Powder

Dear Planeteers, We were growing different varieties of chillies from couple of years, but this year is little different. With the help of my co-worker, I found out that we can grow chillies from the same plant for multiple years. So I gave extra care during the winters to protect them. Luckily we could keep 3 plants in an excellent state from last year and got a very good harvest of green chillies this year so far. Now we have enough of green chillies and few left them to turn red chillies on the plant. We started wondering what we should do with these red chilies!!  We let the chillies turn red on the plants and harvested them once they are red and ripen. 1st red chili harvest I kept for seeds and 2nd harvest I decided to make Red Chili powder for our cooking. We dry them in Oven as we are close to winter now (even before winter started we had #californiawildfire which caused ash fall and low sunny days) this is not a conventional method but works good to dry the chilis. Then using M

Choosing better path -To Save Planet

Recently I had an interesting discussion about my favorite topic #globalwarming #climatechange with a good friend on Facebook. Finally, I learned something out of that discussion. He was making a point that "yes there is #globalwarming and #climatechange which is caused by humans. But that problem is exaggerated by some business people as there is a lot of money to be made within that industry". Yes, there is money to be made for sure, not small amounts but big money to be made. Matter of the fact that in every industry, businesses are there to make money. But organizations and companies can make money in different ways. Let's check out what options we have as an individual or organization?  1st way: I say this is a wrong way, in which people will not have empathy or gilt of how they make money. In the process of making money, they might destroy others life and nature around. Consuming all natural resources which are limited in availability. Few examples: extens
