Rethink - Refuse - Reduce - Reuse - Share - Repair
Compost - Recycle - Choose Kindness - Be the Change
Welcome to my blog about my zero waste lifestyle and everyday sustainability.
For the past 11 years I have been sharing how I follow a zero waste lifestyle to reduce my plastic, rethink waste, buy less stuff and live more sustainably everyday. This lifestyle has given me new skills, helped me save money, become a community activist and discovered a happiness living with less.
I am always learning and love sharing it all here, via my newsletter, and on my social media. You'll find fun accessible resources our household uses to create a sustainable and meaningful life. There are down to earth stories, practical ideas, recipes, DIYs on the topics of reducing waste, swapping out plastic, easy eco actions and everyday activism for collective change. I'm here to help you reduce, reuse and reconnect - without judgment.
Want all of the helpful tips and tricks at home? Get my books Waste Not: Make a big difference by throwing away less and Waste Not Everyday at bookstores, online, as an e-book and your library.
I have run hundreds of workshops and keynote talks on a range of sustainability topics suited to groups of all ages and locations. You can find out more via my events page.
It's a joy to have you here,
Erin
P.S My content is mainly written for an Australian audiences. I originally started my blog in 2013 as there was no resource in Australia for people wanting to reduce waste, plastic and to live more sustainably.
