Compared to the average American, who produces on average around two kilos of trash per day she's saved over 2, 720 kilos of it from going to landfill sites for four years.

"It was a sudden moment for Cindy, who quickly decided to make some changes -first by going plastic free, and then by committing to a zero waste lifestyle. It's about making small changes. For example, if you order a drink at a bar, just ask the bartender not to put a straw in your drink, Cindy suggests. When you go shopping, take a cloth bag with you. And if you can't find toothpaste that doesn't come in a plastic tube, make your own. She makes her own toothpaste. She can do it in her kitchen and it takes her 30 seconds and doesn't cost more than 50 cents. She says the easiest way to begin a sustainable (可持续的) lifestyle is just to start.
