WHAT IS ZERO WASTE?
Zero wasters aim to produce as little waste as possible. It is not so much about creating ZERO waste as much as it is about limiting the amount of waste that we generate. To send as little as possible to landfill.
Currently it is impossible for me or anyone else to create absolutely NO trash in today’s society! All our purchases, directly or indirectly, generate waste of some sort that we may or may not see!
We have all produced our fair share of waste, all of which are probably sitting in a landfill somewhere on the planet. Many people have no idea of the impact of their actions, but through raising awareness and changing mindsets, we can make a difference and leave a better planet for future generations.

MEET CHARLENE!
Environmentalist, lawyer, yoga teacher and ‘mom’ – all in one. Not living parallel lives; my work and my life unite to inspire people worldwide to live more sustainably by reducing their waste. Yoga and mindfulness are a lifestyle that further compliment a zero-waste lifestyle. I apply what I teach to my everyday life wherever I am, especially at home.
In 2019, I founded UNWRAPPED UAE, an app, blog and consultancy that advocates for sustainable living at home, schools or at corporate level. I am passionate about coaching people and putting them on the “unknown path” of zero waste.
My goal is to transform my community and my city into a place that grows sustainably, where people appreciate that this lifestyle is more than just a change of habits, it provides the fundamental core values of a life that we want to live! A life based on experiences over material possessions, wellness and sustainability. Collectively, all our actions, big and small add up to a big difference.
Be the change!
