In this society where takeaway food has become a second nature and disposable products fill our homes and lives, it seems pretty unrealistic to pretend you can produce ‘zero waste’. How on Earth can a regular person living in the city and working full time (i.e. time poor) make zero trash?

I guess my lazy French readers will just have to suck it up and brush up on their English skills (or use Google Translate). Although French is my mother tongue and therefore a much easier language for me to write in, I will endeavour to write English content that reflects my thoughts (and irresistible sense of humour) as closely as possible.
