101 Ways to Go Zero Waste Paperback – April 2, 2019

Lots of great ideas to get started or continue a lower waste lifestyle. Kellogg doesn't make you feel inferior for being imperfect, instead she invites you to do better.I'm nowhere near zero waste, but I am significantly lower waste than most of my peers. Reading this inspired me to do better. Since reading the book, I bought plain trash bags instead of drawstring bags (plastic, yes, but less plastic and requires less energy to manufacture), picked my produce individually instead of grabbing a 3 lb bag (means I got nicer produce too!), and played trunk tetris when I forgot my reusable bags. These are all very small steps, but they do make a difference, and they are easy. Easy improvement is what builds momentum, and Kellogg understands that.This is a good book for anyone who is looking for encouragement or inspiration to reduce their impact on the earth. Those just starting out will find easy tips, and those who are further along will find more advanced ideas to explore.

Simple and practical

First of all, I love that this book is in paperback, as that makes it instantly recyclable (which I would never do cos it's such a good read, but hey), it's portable, chock full of actionable content and written in a conversational, friendly voice of someone who does all that she suggests herself. I now keep this book among my cookbooks, as it is something I reach for again and again for shopping tips, clothes cleaning tricks, and ideas to come back to that I have not yet tried myself (making my own deoderant...not there yet). Kellogg's book is already something that is a staple in my resource library, I'm glad she put so much of her website into this helpful manual as I am so much more likely to reach for this book that jump on the computer.

I love this book I bought it about a year and a half ago and I have to say as well as I thought I was cutting down on my waist I learned a lot of new ways to implement very easy caring things for our planet. In the last year with the help of this book I have read Duste my weekly trash from one or two trash cans or four bags to approximately a quarter to a half of a bag of garbage. For lots of reasons this is happened little steps along the way improving each area of my life. Feels really good and it feels nice to be helping Mother earth who has a really supported us throughout the time. It is now our time to get back. As we are now approaching a new world with this coronavirus I felt it was very important to write about this little book that can really help bring things into perspective and we must still continue to take care of mother Earth. More than ever we need to bring our level of waist down.

A good book for anyone starting out learning about the zero waste lifestyle. Some of these are obvious but it provides alternatives you never thought of enjoy.

I have not finished reading this yet, but wow! Kathryn did such a good job putting this book together. There are so many helpful tips, facts and statistics, and it’s put together in such an easy to read format. I also love that I was able to get this book used already!!Edit: I have finished reading 101 ways to go zero waste. In addition to that, I have read other similar books on going zero waste. Kathryn’s version is BY FAR my favorite. She has great tips, some recipes, and everything is formatted so that you can easily go back and find a tip or recipe you want to read again. I was constantly reading parts of this book out loud to family members because the content is so interesting and important to know!

I wanted to feel better about my decisions but be able to make educated decisions to be more sustainable. This book is perfect for beginners and has more advanced skills as well. I have used so many of the items and always read with my highlighter. Although, I end up highlighting almost the whole book with those I definitely want to use. Two thumbs up for sure!! So helpful!

The book is as expected—literal tips. Some of these are easy and some are not. But I appreciate the effort and discussion throughout. I also see smalls steps that are easy to accomplish.
