The document discusses the major causes of waste pollution. It identifies consumption, production, and advertising/marketing as the main causes. It advocates for the #z6r0waste principles of taking responsibility for one's waste, keeping organics and hazardous waste separate, and keeping other waste clean and dry. Challenges of reducing waste are working with waste and measuring consumption. A simple bin system is proposed to sort waste into paper, plastics, organics, and non-recycled categories.
