Abstract

Plastic is slowly covering the earth, accumulating in oceans, soil, air, and human and non-human bodies. In the face of this catastrophe, zero waste activists call upon us for action, detailing, how we, too, can change our lifestyle to eliminate plastic waste and save the planet. Yet, who it is that is called upon, who speaks, and whose voices and lived realities might be ignored? In this contribution, we explore the social politics of the zero waste movement. This leads us to ponder: might popular environmental movements that relegate social justice to the back seat ultimately do more harm than good?

零浪费——零公正?

塑料正在慢慢地覆盖地球，积聚在海洋、土壤、空气以及人类和非人类的身体中。面对这场灾难，零废物活动人士呼吁我们采取行动，详细说明我们也可以如何改变我们的生活方式，以消除塑料废物，拯救地球。然而，是谁被召唤，谁说话，谁的声音和生活现实可能被忽视?在这篇文章中，我们探讨了零废物运动的社会政治。这让我们思考:将社会正义置于次要地位的大众环保运动最终是否弊大于利?

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
