Blog to Read: Trash is for Tossers (Zero Waste)
http://www.trashisfortossers.com/
Trash is for Tossers is Lauren Singer's blog.
It documents her Zero Waste journey to show that leading a Zero Waste lifestyle is simple, cost-effective, timely, fun, & entirely possible for everyone and anyone.
For the purpose of this blog, Waste is defined as point source, meaning it is discarded by its holder with intent of it going to landfill. Trash is anything a person plans to throw away or anything a person deems obsolete that is then discarded in a manner where it will not be intended for re-purposing or reuse even if it unknowingly will be at some point in the future.
How does she define ZERO WASTE?
Zero Waste means that she does not produce any garbage. No sending anything to landfill, no throwing anything in a trash can, nothing. She only recycles and compost.
