A zero waste family in thirty days

Anita Vandyke ; illustrations by Louisa Maggio and Melissa Stefanovski

Trying to live a zero waste life while simultaneously raising a family can feel almost impossible at times, but Anita Vandyke, author of A Zero Waste Life, is here to help. A Zero Waste Family is a gentle thirty-day guide highlighting the lessons Anita learned during her first year navigating motherhood, while also studying medicine and still trying to reduce her waste. Here she shares innovative ideas about how families can work together to decrease their household waste and make their lives easier, richer and more purposeful, and less full of clutter and distractions. As parents we are constantly juggling the needs of children, work, chores and money. This book is not designed to add to the guilt that we already feel. It's about showing how, by applying zero waste and minimalist principles, being an eco-parent doesn't have to be difficult, and that by making small changes as a family we can make a big difference to our world for our children and future generations
