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.

Absolutely love this book! You can pick any chapter and start from there. It's kind of like a guide on zero waste. If you are wanting to create a zero-waste bathroom you can go to that chapter and it gives you everything you need to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Approachable, Actionable Tips
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2021

Lots of great ideas to get started or continue a lower waste lifestyle. Kellogg doesn't make you feel inferior for being imperfect, instead she invites you to do better.
I'm nowhere near zero waste, but I am significantly lower waste than most of my peers. Reading this inspired me to do better. Since reading the book, I bought plain trash bags instead of drawstring bags (plastic, yes, but less plastic and requires less energy to manufacture), picked my produce individually instead of grabbing a 3 lb bag (means I got nicer produce too!), and played trunk tetris when I forgot my reusable bags. These are all very small steps, but they do make a difference, and they are easy. Easy improvement is what builds momentum, and Kellogg understands that.

This is a good book for anyone who is looking for encouragement or inspiration to reduce their impact on the earth. Those just starting out will find easy tips, and those who are further along will find more advanced ideas to explore.

5.0 out of 5 stars A friendly "you can do it!" voice to an actionable guide for going less waste in your life
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2019

First of all, I love that this book is in paperback, as that makes it instantly recyclable (which I would never do cos it's such a good read, but hey), it's portable, chock full of actionable content and written in a conversational, friendly voice of someone who does all that she suggests herself. I now keep this book among my cookbooks, as it is something I reach for again and again for shopping tips, clothes cleaning tricks, and ideas to come back to that I have not yet tried myself (making my own deoderant...not there yet). Kellogg's book is already something that is a staple in my resource library, I'm glad she put so much of her website into this helpful manual as I am so much more likely to reach for this book that jump on the computer.

I love this book I bought it about a year and a half ago and I have to say as well as I thought I was cutting down on my waist I learned a lot of new ways to implement very easy caring things for our planet. In the last year with the help of this book I have read Duste my weekly trash from one or two trash cans or four bags to approximately a quarter to a half of a bag of garbage. For lots of reasons this is happened little steps along the way improving each area of my life. Feels really good and it feels nice to be helping Mother earth who has a really supported us throughout the time. It is now our time to get back. As we are now approaching a new world with this coronavirus I felt it was very important to write about this little book that can really help bring things into perspective and we must still continue to take care of mother Earth. More than ever we need to bring our level of waist down.

I bought this book at the very beginning of my low waste journey. It is full of great information and many easy swaps that can be implemented right away. I particularly love the gift guide which I plan on referring to a lot in the future for tons of great ideas of “experience” or “consumable” gifts for friends and family. A very easy and enjoyable read to help get you motivated to start changing simple everyday habits.

Book has alot of great information. I'm sure she has nothing to do with HOW her books come but I found it ironic that it came in a plastic package. I will find a use for it but am disappointed that in didn't come in paper or a box that I could just compost.

I have not finished reading this yet, but wow! Kathryn did such a good job putting this book together. There are so many helpful tips, facts and statistics, and it’s put together in such an easy to read format. I also love that I was able to get this book used already!!
Edit: I have finished reading 101 ways to go zero waste. In addition to that, I have read other similar books on going zero waste. Kathryn’s version is BY FAR my favorite. She has great tips, some recipes, and everything is formatted so that you can easily go back and find a tip or recipe you want to read again. I was constantly reading parts of this book out loud to family members because the content is so interesting and important to know!

I wanted to feel better about my decisions but be able to make educated decisions to be more sustainable. This book is perfect for beginners and has more advanced skills as well. I have used so many of the items and always read with my highlighter. Although, I end up highlighting almost the whole book with those I definitely want to use. Two thumbs up for sure!! So helpful!

-------- THE CONCEPT / THE BOOK'S APPEAL TO READERS: --------
I have recently decided to go Zero Waste after learning that only 9% of plastics produced worldwide since the 50s have ever been recycled, and the rest goes to landfill. Really, the only things that can be recycled with ease are steel, aluminium, and glass--and even then, you have to make sure everything is clean. Additionally, microplastics are now so ubiquitous that they have been found in rain and in the glaciers of the Alps. Plastics are also known to contain parabens and Bisephenol A (BPA) which disrupt the endocrine (hormonal) system in humans and can cause cancer. I decided the easiest way to improve my physical health (and mental health, because constantly contemplating all of my waste was giving me anxiety) as well as help the planet was to strive toward zero-waste living.

-------- THE BOOK: --------
+ This book is exceptionally accessible for anyone who is beginning or in the midst of their journey to zero waste. It is divided up into 101 tips, which typically are only a paragraph or two long, so the information is very "bite-sized." I've managed to read almost half of the book in a couple of hours.
+ Kellogg does an amazing job at letting you know how to reduce your waste production without necessarily going out and investing in fancy zero-waste products; she describes zero-waste living as akin to depression-era living when people had to reduce and reuse almost everything because there were limited resources. The beginning of the book toutes the benefits of minimalism, of being comfortable with what you have and not feeling the need to buy more. (Indeed, it is the belief of myself and many other eco-conscious individuals that capitalism and mindless consumerism are the driving forces behind the climate crisis we are seeing today.)
+ Kellogg offers lots of helpful advice on living sustainably and where/what you can buy if you want to remove certain items from your life. At no point does it ever seem like she is "talking down" to the reader or shaming them for their lack of waste-awareness (she constantly brings up her past wastefulness before she became a zero-waste individual) and this is one of the key selling points of the book, in my opinion.
+ For people who are creative and want to make their own zero-waste beauty products, Kellogg provides recipes for natural and zero-waste versions of deodorant, shampoo, dry shampoo, and moisturiser, to name a few.
- One downside to this book is its lack of resources/bibliography. Kellogg provides lots of fascinating facts (some of which I already personally knew), but she does not cite her sources, which will promote scepticism amongst more cynical readers.
- Another downside is that Ms. Kellogg is speaking from a place of privilege; going zero-waste can be more expensive than buying things in packaging (she makes the argument that it's not), which I have found to be true i.e. refilling laundry detergent, shampoo, etc. at some of the zero-waste stores in Toronto. I can afford this now: 3 years ago? Not at all.

Awesome book about environmentally sustainable living!

I have an extreme chemical and environmental sensitivity which means I have to be intensely careful about exposing myself to anything. New products are problematic because of the chemicals and synthetic materials used to create most them. They will off-gas some of the toxic elements into the air, which makes me very ill.

However, when I received my copy of 101 Ways to go Zero Waste, it had almost zero toxic smell or chemical off-gassing! It's such a treat to be able to read a new book the same day it arrives!

I also really applaud Kathryn Kellogg for putting in the work to use environmentally friendly materials. We need to be printing most-if not all new books this way!
