    About this audiobook

    Cut back on waste, reduce your carbon footprint, and live more sustainably with these 100 (almost) zero-waste tips

    In a perfect world, we would all be able to fit a year’s worth of waste in a mason jar. But for most of us​,​ doing so can be immensely intimidating or simply not feasible.

    But even if you can’t be perfectly zero waste, you can still have a profound impact on our environment, climate, and health by making some simple changes to your lifestyle and habits. Author Melanie Mannarino shares 100 simple tips for being less wasteful in a variety of contexts:
    -At Home, with advice not only for the kitchen and food, but also for cleaning and home organization
    -Travel, from commuting to vacations
    -Fashion, including finding sustainable brands and caring for your clothing
    -Community, helping you identify ways to make a broader impact beyond your home

    Beyond limiting your personal waste, learn about how you can reduce your “unseen” waste by making more eco-friendly choices, such as purchasing clothes with more sustainable fabrics and adopting a “Meatless Monday” regimen to help decrease your carbon footprint.

    If you’re someone who wants to reduce waste in your daily life and make a positive impact on the planet ​without​ making​​ drastic changes in your habits, then look no further. This highly accessible and practical guide will have you living a greener, more sustainable life that is (almost) zero waste in no time!
