We are in the midst of a worldwide waste epidemic, where the average person in the UK throws away their own body weight in rubbish every seven weeks. The figure looks even worse at the national level, with the UK producing more than 100 million tonnes of waste every year. We all know the importance of reducing our environmental footprint, but the prospect of going green can seem daunting.
Six Weeks to Zero Waste is both an accessible and aspirational programme to eliminate waste – and it goes beyond plastic. In this book, TV presenter turned eco blogger Kate Arnell will help you on your path to rubbish-free living with the principles of the 5 Rs (refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot). From cutting down on food waste and decluttering to making homemade health and beauty products, you’ll soon be on your way to a zero-waste lifestyle.
