Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.

Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.

We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.

I have more head of garlic that I could consume. I wish to freeze some. Can I keep it this way ? Will it change or become somehow damage ?

I’ve frozen peeled garlic before and then grated it into sauces. It’s fine but if you want to use your excess garlic for something delicious you can make confit really easily which should extend the shelf life quite a bit.

Is garlic conflit so easy to make ? I know how to cook onion conflit but I won't call that "really easy".

Just oil and time. Not difficult but possible to over / under cook. You can of course make it fancier with spices and such, but a basic version is pretty low level cooking skill required.

Waouh ! That seems really easy indeed. Thanks a lot for the explanation. I was think about a whole different and (more complicated) process.
