Welcome to my blog about my zero waste lifestyle and everyday sustainability.
For the past 12 years I have been blogging about my zero waste life, how I reduce my plastic, and live more sustainably everyday.
There are hundreds of down to earth stories, resources, practical ideas, recipes, and 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. For those wanting to dive in, jump over to a list of popular blog posts enjoyed by millions. You can read how I got into the zero waste lifestyle here.
Want all of the helpful tips and tricks at home? Get my best selling 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.
