Read articleWhy waste is an issue we cannot skip – A conversation with Esra Tat of Zero Waste Europe
Together with Sara Mariza from Friends of the Earth Cyprus core member of ZWA Cyprus, we explore the real impact of waste on our planet, and why the waste issue is not only an environmental issue but also a social justice issue, looking at the cost of it in Europe as well as in the Global South. Tackling waste is about more than recycling, it all starts with prevention and redesigning of materials considering their end-of-life of products. In this podcast, Esra shares insights on how waste is a symptom of a broken system and discusses ways to bring back reuse practices that were once common in our societies. There is a need for urgent systemic changes to tackle waste, capacity building between grassroots movements, as well as community-driven solutions.
