It’s a catchy phrase: the 5 R’s of zero waste. The words themselves also roll off the tongue: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, rot. I recently shared book notes from my reading of Bea Johnson’s Zero Waste Home, that includes this concept and I wanted to do a deeper dive through the layers.

When I was immersing myself into the zero waste movement a few years ago, I did that mostly through YouTube videos and blogs. Through that learning I heard so much about this book as a catalyst for the zero waste movement. It was time I read it to see where the modern idea of zero waste started entering the mainstream.

This is the second time I’ve read Sarah Wilson’s ‘This One Wild and Precious Life: a hopeful path forward in a fractured world’. I wanted to revisit this book as I enjoyed my first read of it, but felt there was more for me to discover.

As part of my Self goal category this year, I am learning more about nutrition. I’m an active person, and I want to be a healthy and active person, so learning about how best to fuel myself seems like a good place to start.
Being an active and healthy person is a life long goal for me, so I figure the more I learn, the better habits I’ll build, and strengthen the relationship with my body and what I put in it.
