In this episode of Your Region Pod, we take on the Zero-Waste Challenge. Every October, residents of Waterloo Region to try to fit their single-use waste into a mason jar for 7, 14, or 30 days. We decided to take the 7 day challenge, and found that changing our habits wasn't easy. Listen to find out how we did, and to get some tips on how to reduce your contribution to the landfill.
