On our Bookshelf this Month

In need of straightforward direction for your zero-waste journey? In Zero Waste Melrose’s monthly series, What’s on our Bookshelf this Month?, we highlight books on the subjects of zero waste and sustainability.

In six chapters covering kitchen, bathroom, cleaning, babies & pets, and lifestyle, Lily Cameron’s goal is ‘to share the joy and beauty of living a mostly plastic-free lifestyle, and to show there is no perfect one-size-fits-all approach.’ Lily comes to the zero-waste movement by way of adopting a minimalist and mindful lifestyle, which by its very nature reduces waste. Thus, her title, Simply Sustainable, underscores her simple swaps to get your started. Each chapter of Lily’s visual and easy-to-absorb book contains dos and don’ts, zero-waste kit lists, and chapter-concluding 10-point action plans and call-outs to composting.
