“Back in 2018 I discovered the term Zero Waste and the movement behind it. I immediately decided to start making changes in my own life and implementing them. I have always been a recycling enthusiast and really concerned about climate change.
After a few months, I realized that making changes at home wasn’t enough in order to make a real impact, so I started to search for local communities I could join. I was very surprised when I couldn't even find international groups that were holding events regularly. So I decided to create my own meetup group called: Zero Waste Berlin International.
The tag “international” is really important to me, as I wanted to create a space in which everybody could feel welcome, and where we could use a language we all have in common. This group was meant for people from all over the world who are living in Berlin and they are all invited to join the Meetup group.” - Coral Ruz- Founder.
