Zero Waste Home

Many of us have contemplated changing our daily habits to limit our impact on the environment. But where to begin? And how? Bea Johnson, who has been profiled in The New York Times and on the Today show, has been sharing with readers waste-reducing tips and the story of how she transformed her family's health, finances, and relationships for the better in various magazines and TV shows as well as through her fast-growing blog, ZeroWasteHome.com.

In her first book, Zero Waste Home, Bea Johnson shares the story of how she and her family have dramatically improved their lives by reducing their waste. Not only do they now have more time together as a family now, but they've also cut their annual spending by a remarkable 40 percent, and they are healthier than they've ever been, both emotionally and physically.

Packed with easy, sustainable tips that even the busiest people can adopt, the book also offers practical guidance that will give readers the tools they need to simplify their own lives-from bringing jars to the store to stock up on bulk items to exfoliating with oatmeal and to cleaning mildew with hydrogen peroxide rather than toxic store-bought cleansers.

Appealing, stylish, and completely relatable, Zero Waste Home offers an overall lifestyle plan that will help readers to improve their overall health, save money and time, and achieve a brighter future for their families-and the planet.
