Hi there! My name is Mira Petrova and I'm a young illustrator and graphic designer who lives in Sofia, Bulgaria. For many years now, I've been occupied with thoughts and feelings about global warming and the way we, humankind, harm our planet.
I dream of living a zero-waste life, but very often I fail miserably, and it makes me sad and discouraged. The simple truth is—zero waste living can be hard! But I realized the following: the more I become "aware" of what I buy and what alternatives I have, the more conscious I become; my decision-making process changes and with that, the amount of waste I produce. That's how the term "waste awareness" appeared in my life. Zero waste just sounded way too ambitious and overwhelming.

I love that motto. I wish all tourists were like that (and throw their garbage in garbage cans)
Firework 5 years ago
I don't think that's a tourist thing. It's a douchebag thing. It really bugs me when people litter and some people encourage others to! For example, I saw some kid put his gum in the bin and then another kid called him a nerd and said he should spit it on the floor. Clearly he didn't realise the littering, gum included, is illegal.

These are amazing... I wonder if you would be willing to let me share them as long as I give you credit? See www.sustainabletourism.net for more about me.. or you can tweet me at @SustTourism
So with that new approach to the subject, I started creating this comic strip (with the inspirational help of my super supportive boyfriend). We decided to call it Waste Aware Animals. We wanted to give people a fun and positive way to learn and share about the zero waste philosophy, free of shame and guilt. And spread the message that we can all be part of the change or inspire it in others, sometimes even with the smallest actions.

The fox characters, Mr and Miss Fox, are, of course, based on two of us. As for why the characters are all animals (even though they live in the big city and face all the everyday life problems that we do), well, who could possibly be a better inspiration for sustainable living than the animals? And also—who could be cuter?

The characters doing dainty work, sewing clothes and gluing an objet d'art are wearing dresses. The ones fixing machinery or using a tool are in "male" clothes. I know I am mixing metaphors here, and that the characters could well be transvestites, which is ok with me, but in future cartoons you might want to mix it up a bit.

A good thing would be a way to encourage people to realize that they don't need so many clothes. A hundred years ago, the average adult had 3 or 4 outfits tops, kept them clean and mended, wore them til they wore out, and no one gave a damn as long as one didn't stink and looked tidy. We must learn to stop WANTING so much stuff, period, and I'm including myself in this.

I love to thrift shop. I recently bought a vintage wool jacket for someone that cost £7! I also buy clothes that I repurpose into something I want to wear, that's unique. I'm so glad that I was taught to sew by my grandmother as I often by fabric at charity shops and make them into clothes too. My white linen shirt was once a tablecloth which had be discarded as it had a scorch mark on one corner... that I was able to hide in my garment!
All the stories in the comics are inspired either by my personal experiences and situations that I have witnessed or overheard. Since we started publishing it, people also write in to share zero waste-related situations, ideas, and successes and I couldn't be happier and more grateful.

It happened to me once (well not once but this was the time I've figured out something is wrong about the way we pack our groceries). I went to my local grocery store. At the check out I've noticed that I've forgot my reusable bag and the only ones they had was a plastic ones. That was just a cauliflower and some herbs so I've decided to take it by hand. Especially because I lived around the corner. The look on the lady's face when I told her I don't need a bag was absolutely shocked. She looked at me like at crazy person. I'm not kidding. She even asked me if I don't have my bag and like three times she tried to give me a plastic.

Re-useable plastic bottles are even better than glass bottles because glass bottles have too much weight. The transport therefore causes more CO2.

You can buy stainless steel cutlery at the thrift store for just a dollar or two. It doesn't harm the environment because it already exists - you're just re-using it. Get a couple of sets and wrap them in a cloth napkin to take with you. If they accidentally get lost/thrown out it's not a big deal.

Actually....switching to paperless bills is not necessarily better for the environment. It might cut back on paper production/waste, but you have to factor in the environmental cost of the use of digital technology instead. Going digital for a lot of things is not a magic bullet--stuff doesn't just magically appear in your inbox; these things require power, which requires fuel, and that's just one of many. Not to mention the socioeconomic factors of expecting everyone to go digital, which is a whole other issue. With things like this, there's too many factors for individual people alone to make a difference, because the environmental costs are all so closely woven together. You reduce one aspect of the cost, but increase another, resulting in a zero sum game. Not that was shouldn't try, but this particular comic is a little misleading.

Except that recycling also uses up tons of resources (in both the production and the disposal of the product), creates massive pollution, and most items (I.e. plastic) can only be recycled a small number of times before the product become too inferior. Sure, recycling's better than landfill, but reusable is still best.

According to my chemistry teacher anything will work as long as it's an alkali so it can neutralise the acid. And then breath mints do the rest.

Dishwasher detergent is easy to make, too. I used mine for the first time last week being in this house for 2.5 years - forgot about it. Fill the cup 3/4 with baking soda, topp off with salt, add a few drops of dish soap, lemon juice and white vinegar. I think. It’s easy to Google. I won’t use it again for the next few years, but I was sick and it was a great treat.

The idea for comics is wonderful and really smart! It really inspire you in a fun and positive way! And the characters are really cute and I can relate with some of the stuff too much! Also I love Lord Wolfington!

Honestly, my family have been doing this for the past 30 years. We've always been recycling, even when it was not compulsory (nowadays the district i live in, in northern Italy, recycles 78% of its waste). My parents have always been growing our vegetables. Still, 30 years ago my schoolmates used to tease people who did that, because they were "farmers" (=not cool). Today they're all organic and all send their kids to educational farms in summer. I mean, thats great, but let's rememeber to keep the good habits even after the hype is gone.

These are lovely comics, not guilting, but just good positive messages. I think the recycling firms are a huge part of the problem: i recycle diligently, but if a neighbour throws a nappy or a dirty yoghurt pot into their bin, then the whole truckload may be sent to landfill for no good reason at all.
Mira Petrova (Post author) 5 years ago
I agree completely. We have the same issue with recycling here in Bulgaria as well. But I think that's why the more we try to inform ourselves and the others, the better. So that we can all avoid dirty yogurt pots ruining everything. <3

This should be mandatory reading for the entire Western Civilization! Thank you Boredpanda, this is one of the best things you have ever posted. I recommend Jane Goodall's master class for even more good ideas: https://www.masterclass.com/classes/jane-goodall-teaches-conservation
