Practical and unconventional. Not superficial.

Didn't particularly grip me at start but as it progressed and started to get down into practical suggestions, how-to's and very relatable situations, it got much more interesting to my pleasant surprise. I'm glad it wasn't overly superficial. I've bookmarked several sections and I'll certainly be referencing back to these areas in future. I'm very happy to have read this book.

THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE

I cannot recommend this book enough!! I stumbled across this book by the Daily Deal and could not be more thankful. The author explores her journey from the typical “American Dream” life of extreme consumerism, to her current life of producing no waste. I appreciated that the story covers all the pit falls of her journey and is unpretentious. This book launched my own journey to a life of zero waste and I will forever be thankful!

The book of our times!

I was never expecting to get that much out of this book. It’s full with brilliant information! This will be a game changer for me and hopefully for our generation and the youngest ones. This book brings hope, concrete solutions, and without compromising too much on the zero-waste ideology, there is flexibility for the unavoidable less eco-friendly needs one could face. A real eye opener. I wish for everyone to read it and to try to adapt one little change at a time, until we find balance again in our lives and societies.

Inspiring

Another book I'm going to have to buy in hard copy.

I think some of her changes are a little extreme, and frankly the opposite of simplifying anything, but I've been working towards reducing my negative environmental impact for a while and I know there's more I can do. It's difficult living in a condo without outdoor space, and not being rich like the author's family, but there are lots of good tips here.

Some good ideas some not.

Some great ideas for cutting waste, but recommending i get rid of things and replace them with more sustainable goods? Why would you not wear out items you already own. Manufacturing has its own footprint. Use what you have! Replace as needed with more waste free alternatives. Future purchases given more thought, but use what you already have first.

Okay, but not as an audiobook

I didn’t the middle of this book, decent content with only slight “judging” from the author. It was a little hard to start however, as this book is mostly lists. Sounds like there is supposed to be a picture or two to go along with some descriptions, but being an audiobook you can’t see the pictures.

An hour left of the book and I couldn’t finish anymore thanks to the narrator’s voice. I might recommend the book, but won’t recommend it as an audiobook.
