This book was an eye opener and provided an excellent starting point on how we can contribute to a better environment by implementing small changes at an individual level.
It also has lots of information about organisations, individuals and practices that we can research about on our own and invest our time in as per our convenience

I guess this book is like an encyclopaedia for a zero waste life. Lots of references to other articles,
Documentaries, and books. Sahar is really enthusiastic of what she does and has helped many look through a different spectacle from this book.

Eco friendly book.
Haha yes.
Its like a guidebook to live zero wastage life, that too not just for present but also for future. It tells us to adapt some good habits which should not be limited to us but we must also teach the upcoming genrations.
It's not rocket science neither you have to giveup on your dalily routine. It just simply tells how with small changes and some tricks one can bring a big change in their life.
Like adapting alternative option, recycling or reusing products which can be , this can minimize the waste we generate.
There so small points but when you read you realize that they are very important and how amazingly the author have talked about it.
This book is useful read, author has made it more interesting by adding illustrations, examples..
While reading you may question yourself about your activities, habits, your actions.
Often we get so busy in our life that we forgot to work on ourselves and improve ourselves in true way. I think this book can be a read where after reading you subconsciously change for a better version of yourself
Overall I like the concept, and was good read.

🙋♂️Hi, guys.... do you know that 80% of our planet is currently suffering from global warming?
And, pollution is now one of the biggest global killers affecting millions of humans, birds, other living beings?
Or, are you a fan of innovative, progressive kinda books looking for an awesome read?
If yes, then this book is for You!
Being an avid reader of environmental studies, recycling technologies.
I can vouch that it's one of the best books I have ever read.
It tells us the environmental issues from our day-to-day life, best ways to solve them with a step-by-step guide and easy to understand illustrations.
Sounds awesome, isn't it?
So, let's see.....
📕What's it about?
This book shares a very simplistic approach to living a zero-waste life.
The verified data, concerning warnings and awesome examples, shows that how some of the smallest things are contributing to the degrading health of our planet.
💫Like:-
• the normal masks,
•The soaps, detergents
• the plastic bags or even our usual toothbrushes.
And after showing this reality.....it tells us the best ways to change it.
🌸So, as I have read the format of this book is like this:-
✓The problem, the product causing it
✓The method authors used to solve it
✓Results they got
✓And finally, step-by-step instructions for us.
Plus, all these innovative techniques are easily affordable!
Also, the issues mentioned here are generally from three aspects of our lives.
"The home, The office, and the rest of the surroundings like the road, movie theater, etc."
Trust me, guys you will be amazed by the facts shared in it. I mean it's freaking unbelievable..... the kinda ignorance we are living in.
Or, the instant solutions we can use.
So, read this book to know that how you can contribute to saving this planet.
Cause, every action matters! :)
🔷What I liked the most?
1️⃣. The concept of this book is very impressive. Literally!
I mean you can find tons of books on pollution, global warming...
But unlike them, this one is To The Point, Easy To Understand, with Least Technical Jargon.
Plus, the broad areas it covers are the best.
🎩Hat's off to our Sahar Mam and Tim sir
2️⃣. And the way it's been written is just WOW.
Every issue, every approach, everything gives an instantaneous hope....a vision of how beautiful this planet can be.
Plus, the illustrations and the steps author took are really great. I loved it!!
⚡ However, at some points it's a bit overstretched
But still, it's one of those books which everyone should read.
💥 So, if you are looking for an awesome read, something unique.
Then, go with this one. I am sure you will love it.
✨ Some Special Tips:-
Read this book at a normal speed, as it's over 300+ pages and needs some time to show its wonders
Note down a few solutions first and "Implement" them instead of just gathering the knowledge.
Cause, at last, it's all about the results, once you see them (even just one or two) then you will truly understand its power. And the awareness our society needs.
Repeat this process, share it with others :)
Cheers!!

The book serves it purpose of being a guide to zero - waste living. The chapters are well structured, starting from our personal waste at households to communities in general. There are self - reflective activities, DIYs and the part which I personally liked, the 'Zero Waste Library' sections. The author gave due acknowledgment to the organisations and people working in the field of sustainability and waste management and provided a glimpse into their works.
However I'm not very sure about the practicality of some of the DIYs provided, for example, those that involved sewing.
But overall, it's a light and interactive read for a beginner into the ways we harm the planet and how we can reduce our impact.

A first of a kind book that I have come across. The book gives insights into how our routines, be it personal or in professional front, can be 'wasteful' and how it can cause damage to our environment, its inhabitants and our overall planet.
The book provides solutions and alternatives to these wasteful habits that we might not be aware of and actually makes us aware about it which is the important aspect of the book.
It also consists of activities which help us to track and also information on various organizations and people who are out their doing every bit for the planet. A must read for every humans out there.

A very good foundational book to help you live a zero waste lifestyle. This book is not only going to preach you about how environment is getting impacted but it will also tell you very simple easy to do recipes to try at your own home with already available ingredients to actually live by creating less waste. Inspired by this book, I have started my composting journey and segregating waste which is not very common in India. I am so proud of myself and thanks to Sahar for writing such an amazing book and creating this community.

The worst book i have read till date. This book provides solutions to environmental problems like a academic or management book. For instance the writer tells to make your own soaps instead of buying it, brushing with neem stick instead of using your using a toothbrush. This book feels like it’s a 5 minute craft book.
