Zero Waste Home: The Ultimate Guide to Simplifying Your Life by Reducing Your Waste by Bea Johnson
5.0
This book is pretty incredible! I don't think we will ever be a Zero Waste family, but it was eye-opening and I felt convicted about a number of things we are doing that are very wasteful. Some of this felt extreme in some ways, which coming from our current lifestyle would seem to be, but is it really? If plastics almost never break down, and are not properly recycled, is a compostable toothbrush really extreme? If we want to save this planet for future generations, we probably need to rethink extreme.
I would challenege everyone to read this with an open mind and at least examine the ways that you are overly wasteful. Where can you begin taking steps? I have already committed to no more Starbucks without a resuable cup, and I will be getting a soda stream to deal with my sparkling water issue. Those are just the first two steps. Finding containers for meat from the store is next! I am inspired!
