Living Life with Less Waste in Marin County
My wife and I are always looking to de-clutter and simplify our home life. Earlier this year, she came across a book called Zero Waste Home, by Marin County resident Béa Johnson. Since reading this book, our lives have changed forever (for the better).
 
Johnson teaches how to live a simple, more meaningful life by way of having less stuff and making less trash — refusing what you don't need, and reducing your belongings and waste. The book is essentially a step-by-step guide that gives you practical tools to live more sustainably, and spend more quality time with your family — in the end improving your health and actually saving you money. She talks about buying "bulk" using your own washable cloth bags and then sealing your food in glass jars, verses buying packaged food and then recycling those materials.
 
         
While her philosophies may seem extreme to some, her way of delivering the information is no-nonsense and no pressure, which I feel makes it universally appealing and life changing. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend you do — it may change the way you look at "waste," for good.

Great write-up, Dave. I'm getting that book! It's assuring to know an RE agent with values aligned to our own, and we're eager to work with you in Marin when the opportunity arises.
Thank you for sharing this information! The book looks inspiring and what an important holistic solution that helps not only individual families by everyone on the planet! I look forward to checking it out! AND working with you on buying property one day soon! Congrats!
