Trash Talk by Dave & Lillian Brummet

This is a very easy to read, straight-forward book with sensible and practical ways to reuse items to help reduce waste and pollution--with the added benefit of saving yourself some money. Just the startling fact that North Americans account for only 8% of the world's population but produces 50% of the world's garbage and consumes more than 33% of it's resources, makes this idea-packed book a "must have" for every household.

It is comforting to know that any effort one makes to reuse items, reduce waste and recycle responsibly, actually does have an impact. What I love about this book, is that it clearly shows the impact and benefit for each energy or resource saving idea. It confidently tackles the idea of Zero Waste convincingly, and makes one wonder why we find it so hard to conserve.

Not only did I find this unique publication a guide to managing waste, but a guide to saving money wasted on items really not needed. The research is solid and it educates in a positive, creative and common sense manner. It clearly shows that reusing, reducing, recycling and refusing to purchase brands that do not use packaging that cannot be reused or recycled, offers solutions for our economy, our job market, our health, and the future of our earth.
