Happy New Year! I have a friend Michael Martin that shared your site with me. He created the Green Award that you won a few years ago. My other friend Dan Wilson played a song at that very event. Both friends thought I would enjoy your blog since I live very mindful of not bringing in any plastic or petroleum products into my home. I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and therefor live a very waste free lifestyle . It has been a joy to pass on your site to others since many of your suggestions speak to individuals like myself. Thank you for being a great resource to share your suggestions and links to purchase. On a side note, 'note' being the perfect word here, but I love the sound of my pantry since it is full of glassware instead of plastic storage containers that deaden tones. The musical tones that fill my home as ones house naturally breaths carries a beautiful vibration. Thank you for being a positive presents in your own families life as well as others. Blessings, Susan Anderson-Kimm
girl, you're an amazing inspiration. Just today (yet again)I was refusing packaging and bags at a store and sharing the zero life virtues because of you and your work. keep it up. You are changing the world one family at a time. :)
oh! oh dear. What a typo. I should say "zero waste life" not "Zero life". Because living a sustainable life with my 2 kids had taught me what is really important. My life is much enriched because of realizing that the good stuff really doesn't come from stores. Thanks!
So happy to see you back blogging, Bea! We missed you - but knew the reward for our temporary loss would be a fabulous book. How long must we wait for that to be published and available to us? Happy New Year to you and your adorable men.
Hi Bea! I read about you in French Grazia this Christmas break and have made Zero Waste my New Year's resolution for 2013! Today is my first day - thank you for the inspiration and keep banging the drum for ZWH.
Happy new year to you, too, Zero Waste Home! Thanks to your advice, my new year's resolution to simplify household needs and reduce waste has been going strong for almost three years now. Many wishes for your continued success. I'm looking forward to the book and bulk app.
P.S. Have you seen the new "Brush with Bamboo" bamboo toothbrushes at New Leaf? The packaging is advertised as completely compostable/biodegradable. I recall your quest to find a compostable toothbrush that you could purchase locally, and I'm really curious to hear what you think of them.
Thank you very much, for the change you made in my life in January 4th it going to be a year, since I started reading your blog and living, well at least trying to live a zero waste life, I'm in my first steps, now I don't own any plastic in my kitchen, I make my own cold process soaps and shampoo. I hope in a few years be a truly zero waste family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Happy new Year.
Hey, Bea ~ Please show us the great buys you score thrifting. The $2 black dress w/big pockets is intriguing. What does your minimalist wardrobe look like now? How little can one get by on and not feel deprived?
Bea does temptation to aquire more or have a brand new something ever take hold on you. I really admire your lifestyle some aspects must really take strong willpower as we live in such a materilistic world. you are a wonderful role model.

ReplyDeleteI love the look and feel of glass jars, but never thought about their vibration;) you're right, their sound is beautiful too!
DeleteHappy New Year Bea! 2 years later since that "Sunset" magazine article, I'm still enjoying the evolving journey of ZWH. Cheers!
ReplyDeletehappy new year did you thrift your sunglasses Bea? they look fab.

DeleteI wish thrift/charity shops in the uk held the amazings finds that you acquire.
ReplyDeleteHi Bea! Enjoy the sunshine. For Mexico did you choose a condo and if so was it zero waste friendly?
