I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This book had some good ideas that would be easy to start immediately and some that would take some more work.

A useful and appealing guide to various things people can do to go zero waste. I thought I knew a fair amount about upcycling and sustainable living but learned some new things to do. Writing style is cherry and easy to understand. I bought several copies for our library system as this provides simple yet useful information on a hot topic

This book is ideal for the person just getting acquainted with the movement to eliminate waste. I read Garbology prior to reading this and feel that it gave a thorough understanding of why the points in this book are so important to heed. This book gives SO many practical ideas, many of which have stuck with me & influenced my habits. I'd hope others would read this (and take time to delve deeper into the WHYs of how important this lifestyle is in such a consumer culture).

101 Ways to Go Zero Waste is a great selection of ideas on how to live more sustainably by reducing, reusing and recycling. Although aimed at an American audience with directions on what can be recycled in household waste which can be very different to here in the UK.

It could be quite intimidating if you decided to take all the ideas and implement them all at once, but a couple at a time would certainly be manageable. I will certainly dip back into this book for ideas in the future of how to live more sustainably.

Many thanks to the publishers for giving me access to an eGalley of this title via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this was, in general, a wonderful list to get you started thinking about how to reduce waste in your life. I did feel it was marred by the author's discussing chemicals that many regard as perfectly safe as obvious poisons; I would have liked the book much more if she'd kept to zero waste philosophy and not gone on about parabens, which is both not settled science and out of the scope of this book. I removed a star for that;

Most readers will probably not be willing or able to adopt all 101 suggestions, but could pick up at least a few practical ideas, such as a water pick instead of plastic dental floss, or getting a keychain reusable bag for trips to the grocery store. Definitely skews toward an upper-middle-class and urban/suburban audience. (I live in a small town where there are no butchers, bakers, or bamboo toothbrushes to be had, not to mention the expense of some of the switches the author proposes.) Written in a very approachable, can-do tone.

I have read many of the zero waste and sustainability books that are out there and I really enjoyed this one for its layout and simplicity.

Each page has a new tip or area of your life to make changes to. Kellogg uses facts and statistics to explain why certain products and items are not good for the environment and presents a simple switch for that area. She includes recipes for cleaning supplies and some brands to check out that are better than those you may be buying.

I enjoyed that she presented these things in a very reader friendly way and in a way that everyone can find a new way to reduce their waste and send one less thing to the landfill.

I like this book and it gave me some very good ideas as to how to go more zero waste than I am. It is well written and the suggestions are practical and useful.
I thank NetGalley for a pre-release copy.

I enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting often shaking my head and thinking of how much we need to improve our ways. I do recycle but have never really gotten too deep into seeing just how it works or doesn't. I learned so many new things and new ways i can reduce and reuse before I recycle. It is a simple books with lots of tips that even if you only use a handful of them, will be sure to make a small but definite difference. I am sure I will be referring back to this book often.

It's a good book of you are trying to get start with going zero waste. I Think there could have been a bit more reaserch done, for example you can replace a lot of disposable products with reusable one and this book could have included those. Also the author could have told less of her own personal home-life and how she does zero waste. Not every situation is the same so she ahould have sited more options for diffrent lifestyles. I would reccomend this book if you want to start zero waste, but I would only recomend that you borrow it from a library and also reaserch other sources.

Loads of good, sensible ideas here. One can only hope more people will read the book and then do more than just read it and try to follow up o some of the suggestions. I hate plastic water bottles and plastic bags. Never liked them. Also paper diapers..really top of the list of dislikes. I remember back at the end of the 60's America was already becoming known as a disposable culture. When ever out parents tired of things, they tossed them., Nothing was ever saved. Even in my generation I know friends and family with same mentality. I never understood the recycling thing everyone began to promote in the late 70's- early 80's. Everyone recycled stuff into crafts which only delayed their ending up in a landfill. The world is in a pretty sorry state and something needs to be done about the mess. Everyone plays a part in making the mess, we all need to step up and help in cleaning it up. Great book!

Far more approachable advice and tone than Zero Waste Home. I wish I had read this first. Suggestions were actionable and backed up with science and logic though most would be quite familiar to people in the minimalism community.

Full of straight-forward instructions on how to reduce the amount of waste products that we throw away, and on how to reuse, recycle everyday items.

I would have liked more citations of the information included, it is a non-fiction book after all.
