About Almost Zero Waste:

My name is Merilin and I’m 23 years old I am an imperfect zero waste advocate, passionate about sustainability, veganism, and living harmoniously with nature. Growing older, the idea of having a lower footprint on the planet was something that I really wanted to achieve. However, I never really thought about waste and plastic pollution. In 2015, I moved to Denmark, and I found about zero waste for the first time. It sounded very intimidating. I thought – no way that I can produce 0 trash or that little to collect it in a mason jar! Luckily, I was intrigued by living a more sustainable lifestyle, so I slowly started making simple changes.
