Make Haste - Go Zero-Waste!

Bea Johnson, Founder of the Zero-Waste Lifestyle Movement

Make Haste - Go Zero-Waste!

Since 2008, Bea Johnson and her family of four have only been producing one jar of waste, per year. Author of the book Zero Waste Home, Bea is acknowledged as the founder of this now global movement. She joins us to share her story of going zero waste and explains why zero-waste is not just about ‘trying to be eco-friendly’ by recycling or giving away old clothes: it’s about not buying what you don’t need in the first place.
