A good grouping of categories and the tips in them. Many tips you have likely seen elsewhere but author's own explanation of them. Nice book and some tips you may overlook.

I am reading the version available 1/5/211, but there are several editions already available. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have already read many books on climatology/global warning and reducing the carbon footprint. Funny with mostly world-wide quarantine with coronavirus, air pollution is already reducing and water ways are cleaner. This needs to continue to be an ongoing effort to prolong the planet from unleashing apocalyptic conditions in future generations.

This book had some fantastic advice like using your own mason jars and boxes at the grocery to reduce plastic use. This I will definitely do. I already used cruelty free products for the last ten years and have started composting again, not easy to do in southern California. There are several good tips for beginners to do also. A very useful to start reducing and reusing. Definitely buying a print copy when it is available.

Zero Waste has gained popularity in the last few years. While it has become a trend, often it can be overwhelming and the need to be perfect kicks in. This is the book for the person who wants to try and become more sustainable and eco friendly without going crazy.

I really enjoyed this book! It made me think about things that I can do to reduce waste. Great read!

Lots of great ideas here! I love that the author not only gives the ideas for limiting waste but explains how to do so and the impact. One thing, instead of skipping takeout if that's your preference, check with the restaurant to see if they're open to packing up your takeout order in your own containers. I rarely eat out, but I know people who do take their own containers for the full takeout meal and not just for leftovers.

This is a fabulous little book that you can fly through in one sitting. I love the tone--it's not preachy or judgmental, but rather offers practical advice to easing into a life of sustainability and growing from there. I was pleased to know that I've already incorporated some of Mannarino's suggestions and I was given plenty more.

The format is part of the appeal as well. The tips are broken down into six chapters: (almost) zero waste 1. while cooking, 2. at home, 3. for personal care, 4. while travelling, 5. and your wardrobe, and 6. in your community. You'll find valuable advice for composting, reducing your single-use-plastic reliance, finding sustainable clothing manufacturers and more.

It's no secret that we are a disposable society, and you don't have to look farther than the discussions surrounding plastic straws and grocery bags to know the impact it's having on the environment. The good news is that we can all do our part to reduce our waste. If you're not sure where to start (because it can be overwhelming to look around your house and see evidence of your carbon footprint!), this book will put your mind at ease.

A special thank you to NetGalley, Tiller Press, and author Melanie Mannarino for making this review copy available to me.
