Zero Waste Home is a truly amazing book! It was written by a French Lady who’s currently in California. After living a typical Suburban lifestyle focused on conspicuous consumption, she and her family took downsizing to an extreme!

Going from a 3,000 Sq. foot home, to one half its size, the family ruthlessly gives away, eliminates, and sells unwanted items. Paring down to the bare bones, they now produce only one quart of garage per year! They use no plastic containers, recycle/compost/reuse, and make things from scratch.

While I’m not ready to be that extreme, I did enjoy many of the tips—especially on reducing disposables. The book is well organized and offers numerous quality ideas if you want to go green in stages. My only complaint is the lack of photos.
