My Inspiration
Amazing women who inspired me to further my zero waste journey.
Zero Waste Home
Bea Johnson is the queen of zero waste, and she actually acknowledges that Zero waste is not truly achievable.
​
She literally wrote the book on going zero waste (buy it on amazon), and she lives in the Bay Area!
Plastic Free Mermaid
Kate Nelson is probably the most hardcore plastic free blogger I follow. She can be intense, and does a ton of diy, but don't let that scare you off.
She lives in Australia, so some things can be hard to relate to, but I love her vibes, and mermaid style.
Going Zero Waste
Kathryn Kellogg puts a healthy dose of reality in her blog and newsletter, and sprinkles encouragement all over her website. I subscribed to her emails in September 2017. She'll send max 1 email a week (unless there's an event coming up) and it's not at all spamy.
Her motto is: "it's not about perfection; it's about making better choices"
"Progress, not perfection"
:)
Trash is for Tossers
She was inspired by Bea Johnson, and fits all her trash from the last 3+ years in a mason jar.
She lives in New York, and started Package Free Shop in Brooklyn, and is a social media queen.
Kate Arnell
Kate lives in London, so most of the brands she uses, and stores she shops at aren't available in the US.
ie: In Europe, apparently glass shampoo/ soap bottles for the shower are totally fine!
Her youtube videos are probably my favorite because she's just so adorable, and doesn't at all seem like a weird hippie that doesn't use deodorant (she just uses baking soda, which she calls bicarbonite). At least compared to Americans.
Zero Waste
Online Shopping
These are California based zero waste online shops.
Marleys Monster- this is in Oregon, but she has great stuff. I've made most of the things she sells myself.
Full list here.
