    1. Do you waste food/water/clothes/ plastic or any other items?

    Yes


    2. If so, which item do you waste the most and why? If not, how do you avoid waste?

    Paper and plastic because I use it the most throughout my day so I tend to waste more of these


    3. How do you think personal waste can affect others?

    In the long run it can cause environmental consequences like overconsumption of food or energy can lead to climate change and the result of climate change can be felt by everyone (eg. extreme weather, disruptions to agriculture)


    4. How can you do better in preventing waste?

    Try to recycle or reuse and only use what i need

    Yes


    2.If so, which item do you waste the most and why? If not, how do you avoid waste?

    Plastic and papers as usage of both is very frequent, along with most of our food wrappers are being made from plastic.


    3.How do you think personal waste can affect others?

    It affects others as the waste produced by us can harm our environment leading to climate change and others (such as, drought, change of weather, pollution)


    4.How can you do better in preventing waste?

    By starting to go plastic free, like using recyclable/biodegradable materials such as paper straws and try to reduce any wastage as much as possible.

  • Do you waste
    food/water/clothes/plastic or any other items?

    • yes


    1. If so, which item do you waste the most and why? If not, how do you avoid waste ?

    Plastic as in most cases when I take away food it comes in a plastic container with a plastic bag.


    1. How do you think personal waste can affect others?

    Use of plastic will lead to more waste that needs to be incinerated which leads to more carbon dioxide gases being released causing enhanced global warming effects affecting everyone around me.


    1. How can you do better in preventing waste?

    Try to use my own containers when taking food away.

  • Do you waste food/water/clothes/plastic or any other items?

    Yes

  • If so, which item do you waste the most and why? If not, how do you avoid waste?

    Mainly packaging plastic and materials from online consumerism

  • How do you think personal waste can affect others?

    In my case, unregulated consumerism using unsustainable packaging can result in accumulative population waste that ends up on our only local Semakau landfill as the majority of this waste is non-biodegradable, which means that land space on this landfill will run out at an escalated rate if we do not watch our consumerism habits in the long run

  • How can you do better in preventing waste?

    Request for online businesses to use sustainable packaging (willing to pay extra) or use a reduced amount of packaging

  • Do you waste food/water/clothes/plastic or any other items?

    yes


  • If so, which item do you waste the most and why? If not, how do you avoid waste?

    i think i waste plastic the most as most of the stuff bought are usually wrapped in plastic.


  • How do you think personal waste can affect others?

    Personal waste can harm others by depleting shared resources, increasing pollution, and raising costs, all of which affects everyone.

  • How can you do better in preventing waste?

    buy only what you need

    food/water/clothes/plastic or any other items?

    yes

  • If so, which item do you waste the most and why? If not, how do you avoid waste?

    Mostly plastic since most of the stuff I use are wrapped in plastic.

  • How do you think personal waste can affect others?

    personal waste of every individual when combined together can be more than what we can imagine and it can affect in hygiene, visually not appeasing and can cause pollution overtime.

  • How can you do better in preventing waste?

    by using recyclable bags instead of plastic bags when shopping or reuse the plastic bags as storage

  • Do you waste food/water/clothes/plastic or any other items?

    Yes

  • If so, which item do you waste the most and why? If not, how do you avoid waste?

    Food waste

    I buy a lot of food and do not finish what I buy.

  • How do you think personal waste can affect others?

    Food waste significantly impacts others by straining resources and harming the environment. When food is wasted, so are the water, energy, and labour used to produce it. In landfills, decomposing food releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change, impacting everyone globally. Additionally, excess food waste diverts funds and resources from community services, while uneaten food that could help address food insecurity instead contributes to environmental harm.

  • How can you do better in preventing waste?

    When ordering food, try not to over-order and only order what I can finish

    Yes


    2.If so, which item do you waste the most and why? If not, how do you avoid waste?

    Definitely plastic. It's everywhere and unavoidable, but I have minimised plastic waste by using reusable bags when shopping.


    3.How do you think personal waste can affect others?

    Waste will eventually accumulate and cause the environment to suffer, causing global warming and climate change as a result of incineration of waste.


    4.How can you do better in preventing waste?

    By continuing to reduce plastic use and advocating for less waste.
