We talk with a fellow minimalist mom, Stephanie, who is eagerly pursuing the zero waste movement. Having a zero waste home means you strive to use or reuse everything that comes into your home so there is no waste going to a landfill. Yes, zero trash is the goal! We don’t think our conversation today will get your household to that goal, but we’d like to introduce the concept and talk about easy ways your family can start to incorporate zero waste principles into your homes. Find all the resources mentioned in this show and a list of beginner zero waste steps: Show Notes for EP50: Zero Waste for Beginners.
