We can look at waste as a huge loss of resources, both as materials and energy. In 2018, 5.2 tonnes of waste were generated per EU inhabitant. (Eurostat 2021b.) Municipal waste comprises about 10&nbsp;% of the total waste generated. In 2019, 502 kg of municipal waste per capita was produced in the EU. (Eurostat 2021a.)

(Lusina 2020)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>New EU recycling targets and compulsory separate collections of waste are defined in the revised Waste Framework Directive: 65 % of municipal waste to be recycled by 2035, a separate biowaste collection or recycling at the source by 2023, and textile sorting by 2025 (Directive 2018\/851\/EU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Green Deal, Europe with its citizens is aiming at a transition towards a more sustainable circular, and climate-neutral continent by 2050 (European Commission 2020). In line with that, an Interreg Europe funded project<a href=\"https:\/\/www.interregeurope.eu\/ceci\/\"> <u>CECI &#8211; Citizen Involvement in Circular Economy Implementation<\/u>,<\/a> emphasizes the role of every citizen in the circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Active webinars for knowledge share<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the CECI project partners, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ms-ic.cz\/\">Moravian-Silesian Innovation Center Ostrava<\/a> (MSIC), Czech Republic has recently organized two active webinars for the public: (1) How to prevent waste from household?, and (2) Eco household cleaning. The aim of these webinars was to raise awareness and exchange knowledge leading towards a more sustainable lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshops were hosted by Helena <a>\u0160krdl\u00edkov\u00e1<\/a>, the founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.czechzerowaste.cz\/\">Czech Zero Waste<\/a> organization, which examines how one can live an almost waste-free lifestyle (not only) in the Czech Republic. The organization informs, inspires, and advises citizens. At their website, one can get explore many inspiring blogs and tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the workshops, Helena explained the zero-waste lifestyle philosophy, and its practical implications at home and in everyday life. Also, useful tips were shared: e.g., a map of package-free shops (eco-drugstore, food), a map with eco-drugstore bottling locations, and a map of community gardens and composters. (\u0160krdl\u00edkov\u00e1 2021a, 2021b.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to eco-friendly clean your home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The focus was on replacing conventional cleaning products with eco-friendly (industrial or homemade) ones. Helena mentioned that an important step is to carefully evaluate the origin and type of dirt or stain you are aiming to remove; is it greasy, of a biological origin, is it limescale or bad odour? &nbsp;Many of these challenges can be removed with a help of vinegar, baking soda, and citric acid, either solely or in combination (often soda &amp; vinegar). More tips are listed in Table 1. (\u0160krdl\u00edkov\u00e1 2021b.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"233\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/05\/291_2021_Sustainable-Lifestyle-Tips_table_1-1-1024x233.png\" alt=\"List of natural ingredients and where to use them in home cleaning.

How? Why?) to make one concrete step towards a more sustainable lifestyle. Helena also reminded us that sometimes, it is not possible to find an eco-alternative and in today\u2019s society, one cannot be 100% zero-waste. However, there are many small actions everyone can take that collectively have a huge impact.
