This is Lauren Singer - A zero waste superstar living in NYC. Lauren was an an Environmental Studies major in College and have always been interested in the environment. During her studies she made the decision to live sustainably by adopting the zero waste approach. Her definition of zero waste means that she does not produce any garbage; no sending anything to landfill, no throwing anything in a trash can and she recycle and compost.
Her list for zero waste alternatives is such a useful list. The extent of general house goods she covers is very impressive. The best quality about the list is not just informing the reader the alternatives, it also briefly tells the reader why the good is a waste problem and directs you where you can purchase the alternatives. However, since she is NYC based, the links to the products are US based delivery - I would love to see an Australian based version of this to be wide spread locally. Considering Australian are relatively environmentally conscious, her list will help the community to work towards the idea of zero waste - even if they would adopt 20% of her ideas. Personally, I will adopt some of the her ideas, not that it's not good but at this point, I'm not ready to commit it all the way like her. But I sure do look up to her.
