101 Ways to Go Zero Waste

Lots of great ideas to get started or continue a lower waste lifestyle. Kellogg doesn't make you feel inferior for being imperfect, instead she invites you to do better. I'm nowhere near zero waste, but I am significantly lower waste than most of my peers. Reading this inspired me to do better. Since reading the book, I bought plain trash bags instead of drawstring bags (plastic, yes, but less plastic and requires less energy to manufacture), picked my produce individually instead of grabbing a 3 lb bag (means I got nicer produce too!), and played trunk tetris when I forgot my reusable bags. These are all very small steps, but they do make a difference, and they are easy. Easy improvement is what builds momentum, and Kellogg understands that. This is a good book for anyone who is looking for encouragement or inspiration to reduce their impact on the earth. Those just starting out will find easy tips, and those who are further along will find more advanced ideas to explore.

First of all, I love that this book is in paperback, as that makes it instantly recyclable (which I would never do cos it's such a good read, but hey), it's portable, chock full of actionable content and written in a conversational, friendly voice of someone who does all that she suggests herself. I now keep this book among my cookbooks, as it is something I reach for again and again for shopping tips, clothes cleaning tricks, and ideas to come back to that I have not yet tried myself (making my own deoderant...not there yet). Kellogg's book is already something that is a staple in my resource library, I'm glad she put so much of her website into this helpful manual as I am so much more likely to reach for this book that jump on the computer.

Simple and practical

Book has alot of great information. I'm sure she has nothing to do with HOW her books come but I found it ironic that it came in a plastic package. I will find a use for it but am disappointed that in didn't come in paper or a box that I could just compost.

I’ve been a long time blog reader but I read this book cover and was pleasantly surprised about how much I still learned. I love that Kathryn is realistic and includes personal sustainability because not everyone is willing to scratch cook every meal and that is okay. Great book for beginners who want to get started and great DYI resource for more experienced Zero wasters. To me it was worth purchasing to have on hand as a quick reference even though I could have gotten it at a library. Planning on lending out to all my friends!

Kellogg's book has changed my life...for the better! I discovered her after purchasing my Pela phone case. I started reading her linked blogs, and now her videos and book are my manual to a healthier and wealthier life! I say wealthier because along with using and reusing safer and more sustainable products and materials, I have been saving a lot of money! She provides tips for so many things for our daily lives that are so easy and affordable. Borrow novels from the library; however, purchasing this book will be an investment!

I love this book I bought it about a year and a half ago and I have to say as well as I thought I was cutting down on my waist I learned a lot of new ways to implement very easy caring things for our planet. In the last year with the help of this book I have read Duste my weekly trash from one or two trash cans or four bags to approximately a quarter to a half of a bag of garbage. For lots of reasons this is happened little steps along the way improving each area of my life. Feels really good and it feels nice to be helping Mother earth who has a really supported us throughout the time. It is now our time to get back. As we are now approaching a new world with this coronavirus I felt it was very important to write about this little book that can really help bring things into perspective and we must still continue to take care of mother Earth. More than ever we need to bring our level of waist down.

Great ideas if you’re wealthy and live in a good neighborhood. As a middle class white women, I feel like I’m the only one this book is written for.
