A 'zero waste' life is about changing or altering the way we consume, and how we think about waste. It's about making better choices when we can, and working to reduce our overall impact by reducing the amount of packaging and single-use plastics we bring into our life. Weldon presents simple ways you can reduce waste in every aspect of your life, from making your own natural cleaners and beauty supplies, to reducing food packaging and starting a compost pile. She wants to change the way you see the world around you-- creating a healthier planet and happier you. -- adapted from back cover
