Minimalism meets DIY in an accessible guide to household waste reduction

We all know how important it is to reduce our environmental footprint, but it can be daunting to know where to begin. Enter Kathryn Kellogg, who can fit all her trash from the past two years into a 16-ounce mason jar. How? She starts by saying “no” to straws and grocery bags, and “yes” to a reusable water bottle and compostable dish scrubbers.

In 101 Ways to Go Zero Waste, Kellogg shares these tips and more, along with DIY recipes for beauty and home; advice for responsible consumption and making better choices for home goods, fashion, and the office; and even secrets for how to go waste free at the airport. “It’s not about perfection,” she says. “It’s about making better choices.”

This is a practical, friendly blueprint of realistic lifestyle changes for anyone who wants to reduce their waste.

    Beyond our overconsumption problem, landfills themselves are toxic. They’re responsible for 16 percent of methane emissions in the US, and methane is 30 percent more powerful than average greenhouse gases like CO2. Because landfills aren’t aerated for proper decomposition of organic material, the organic matter is stuck in limbo, releasing methane into the atmosphere. Furthermore, toxins from cleaners, batteries, small electronics, and other items that shouldn’t be landfilled leach into the soil and can run off into the ocean and groundwater when it rains.

      On average, a piece of clothing is worn 7 times before being discarded, and plastic bags are only used for 15 minutes. “Convenience” items like coffee cups and paper towels use valuable resources, and our resource supply is finite. T
