5By Jme623Excellent read that willbe a reference guide as our household of 5 continues toward zero waste.Weird
1By Christina JuarezDon't waste your money. She's weird. It's seriously unrealistic for a normal mother to do most of the weird stuff she talks about. Seriously throw out your can opener??? I'm sorry but I guess you don't realize that there's a lot of people out there who don't have the excess leisurely time to always make home made tortilla chips, cheese from scratch or grow and can tomatoes. If she's so OCD about butter wrappers creating waste then why buy meat and dairy products at all?? Industrialized meat and dairy farms are horrible for the environment.
