In Praise of Year of No Garbage:
"Eve's brave and honest experiment reveals the shocking impact of the throwaway society we've become and in the meantime showing small ways we can do better." Rebecca Prince-Ruiz
"January 2020 saw author Schaub (Year of No Clutter, 2017) embark on a new, daunting journey—she vowed not to generate any garbage for an entire year. Living completely garbage free sounds like a pipe dream, the realities of which Schaub tackles head-on over the course of the year. . . . Part exploration of consumerism, part science side of garbage, and part memoir, this is an excellent look at one family’s journey toward going zero garbage. Everything from the chemistry of various “recyclable” plastics to where your recycling actually goes is explored. Tips and tricks on living garbage free are laid out alongside very honest admissions of personal pitfalls, surprises learned, and perhaps most importantly of all, the ways society is built around disposability, and just how difficult it is to go zero garbage when everything around you is built to be used once and then thrown away. Perfect for readers of memoir and science as well as those interested in the cross section of consumerism and going green." —Booklist
"Eve’s brave and honest experiment reveals the shocking impact of the throwaway society we’ve become and at the same time showing small ways we can all do better.” —Rebecca Prince-Ruiz, founder of Plastic Free July
"It's about time someone looked carefully at this part of everyone's life--and thank heaven it was someone with a sense of humor and grace. You will learn a lot!" —Bill McKibben
"What starts out as a humorous search for Zero Waste turns into a profound investigation into the limits of personal responsibility in a culture thoroughly entrenched in toxic plastic. Year of No Garbage is both a delightful memoir and the wake up call we need to start seriously addressing the Plastic Crisis today." ―Judith Enck, Former EPA regional administrator and founder of Beyond Plastics
"Year of No Garbage is an utterly delightful read! Schaub is relatable, informative, and non-judgmental. Her book encapsulates the many ups and downs of trying to reduce one's waste, and most importantly shining the light on one of the biggest problems—manufacturing and policy." ―Kathryn Kellogg, author of 101 Ways to Go Zero Waste
"This year gave me emotional damage! I couldn't believe how much disposable plastic we all use every day and how harmful it really is. Read this book and you will never look at garbage the same way again." —Steven He, YouTuber, creator of the "emotional damage" meme, 14 million followers
