Zero Waste Home by Bea Johnson

[Zero Wasted]

For the very first Zero Wasted book club we will be reading Zero Waste Home by Bea Johnson. Discussion will be facilitated starting February 11th! If you can, try to borrow your book, get it secondhand, or share it with a friend after.

A description of the book from Amazon:

Part inspirational story of Bea Johnson (the “Priestess of Waste-Free Living”) and how she transformed her family’s life for the better by reducing their waste to an astonishing one liter per year; part practical, step-by-step guide that gives readers tools and tips to diminish their footprint and simplify their lives.

In Zero Waste Home, Bea Johnson shares the story of how she simplified her life by reducing her waste. Today, Bea, her husband, Scott, and their two young sons produce just one quart of garbage a year, and their overall quality of life has changed for the better: they now have more time together, they’ve cut their annual spending by a remarkable 40 percent, and they are healthier than they’ve ever been.

This book shares essential how-to advice, secrets, and insights based on Bea’s experience. She demystifies the process of going Zero Waste with hundreds of easy tips for sustainable living that even the busiest people can integrate: from making your own mustard, to packing kids’ lunches without plastic, to canceling your junk mail, to enjoying the holidays without the guilt associated with overconsumption. Zero Waste Home is a stylish and relatable step-by-step guide that will give you the practical tools to help you improve your health, save money and time, and achieve a brighter future for your family—and the planet.

Darcy, so great of you to join! Hope you can read enough to participate – it’s a pretty fast read. Also, a lot of the discussion questions will ask about your personal experience, so don’t feel like you have to read the whole book to answer. And I must say that I love your profile photo!!
