Packed with actionable tips for every room, this book blends sustainability with modern living, inspiring professionals to adopt eco-friendly habits without sacrificing style or convenience. ## Description Zero Waste Home is the ultimate guide to simplified, sustainable living from Bea Johnson, 'the priestess of waste-free living' ( The New York Times ). Bea Johnson transformed her family's health, finances, and relationships for the better by reducing their waste to an astonishing half litre per year. It's all down to the 5 Rs: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot (and only in that order!). Zero Waste Home shows how these key principles can be applied to every area of your house from the kitchen to the kids' room, and it's packed with easy tips for all of us: from buying in bulk and clever meal planning to simply refusing unwanted freebies and using your plants as air fresheners. Bea Johnson shows, by inspiring example, what green living looks like and offers a practical, step-by-step guide to diminishing your environmental footprint and improving your life. 'Bea Johnson is a guru of zero-waste living. The book is precise . . . simple yet deep. It doesn't preach.' Sunday Times 'Johnson is an incredible advocate for her lifestyle . . . refreshingly honest.' Metro ' Chic, charming, stylish' Red Review: Amazing book! Every home needs it! - Excellent, excellent book! The author speaks from own practice and sticks to the principles presented in the book! You can tell that the book came as a result of her life experience and the solutions she had found to the challenges of living a zero waste life! The book presents lots of practical ideas and solutions, anyone can find some good advice in it even if not trying to live a zero waste life. The book can be highly inspiring and motivational. I highly recommend it! I haven't managed to put everything into practice, not because is not possible, but because I am not disciplined and organized enough. But I am not giving up, I am still on my journey and I know I will get there! Review: Just change a few habits and it will make a huge difference! - I've always been interested in ways of being less wasteful and helping the environment, but I've never really done enough or made a real effort to get started. This book collects everything together into quite a comprehensive guide to how you can reduce waste and become more environmentally conscious. It's full of a lot of good information that really helps you to get started or go a bit deeper on your journey. However, as others have mentioned, there are provisos. For a start, Bea is a bit of a yummy mummy character with a lot of time on her hands. She doesn't work, so she clearly has time to char almonds to make eyeliner, craft things out of felt and make her own jam. Obviously most of us with 9-5 jobs do not. That's not to say you can't implement some of the ideas though - just probably not many of us are going to switch to moss for toilet paper, cocoa for blush and vinegar for conditioner. She does seem to take things to rather an extreme: maximising right turns to save fuel (!), making all her own 'makeup' from arrowroot powder and suchlike, and making a fuss about the tiny bit of paper on the back of a stamp. This doesn't really resonate with most people. We could all make a huge difference just by buying veg loose at the market, switching paper towels for cloths and avoiding bottled water or takeaway coffee, for example. Bea's 110% approach is a bit off-putting to some. That said, Bea gives us a lot of information on how to be zero waste in a way that isn't smelly and tree-hugging. You don't have to wear sandals or tie flowers in your hair if you don't want to. I think everyone should read it, and if you only implement around 1/3 of her tips you'll already be doing a great job. Many of them are not practical if you have a job or don't live next to an organic farmer's market. However a lot of them are very very effective, and if people start improving their habits just a bit, she will have done an amazing job. Thanks Bea. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 760,219 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 22 in Waste Disposal 133 in Natural Resources Management 329 in Self-Sufficiency & Green Living | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,646 Reviews | ## Images ![Zero Waste Home: The Ultimate Guide to Simplifying Your Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710mJpc1wyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book!
