Most people think that going zero-waste is an impractical idea due to the omnipresence and convenience of plastic. But Moe has proved that a zero-waste lifestyle is easier than we think. Moe Karl, a university graduate in environmental studies, has committed himself to a zero-waste lifestyle for about three years. Instead of taking plastic bags to the market, he carries boxes and net bags for everything from vegetables and meat to rice and pepper. Only in very dire circumstances does he buy packaged stuff at the supermarket. Even for things like pepper, peanut and rice, he brings along his own containers so that he can put them away on the shelf as soon as he arrives home. When it comes to what has not been eaten at the end of the meal, he does not throw them away. He turns them into fertilizers for his vegetable garden. Every scrap there is, from leaves to eggshells, he puts in a container, sprinkles in some fungi and lets them do their work. It could get a bit smelly, but it does not matter when it is in open space. That is his own secret recipe for a vegetable garden that not only feeds his entire family, but some of his neighbor’s as well. Homegrown veggies certainly taste better than store-bought ones. By and large, his lifestyle helps reduce the amount of food waste and keep trash away from his living space. a. Decide whether the following sentences are True or False: Question 23.
