Bea Johnson is "the mother of the zero waste lifestyle movement." --CNNThe book that started the waste-free living movement, Zero Waste Living--relates Bea Johnson's inspirational personal story and provides practical tools and tips to help readers diminish their footprint and simplify their lives. In Zero Waste Home, Bea Johnson shares the story of how she simplified her life by reducing her waste.

This book shares essential how-to advice, secrets, and insights based on Bea's experience.
