The Johnson Family’s zero-waste home, produces only two handfuls of trash annually.

There is a hefty compost bin and a teeny recycling bin—one that Béa Johnson is embarrassed exists at all. “So much recycling really goes to waste, so you need to try to reduce that too.”

A few examples of how they do it:

• Taking their own jars to the store and buying items in bulk. Even cheese and meat go into jars.
• Freezing loaves of breads, after carrying them in pillowcases.
• Mixing her own multi-purpose cleaner: 11/2 tsp. castile soap, 3 tsp. white vinegar, and 4 cups water. 
• Using compostable toothbrushes.

You can read more on Béa’s blog, The Zero Waste Home.
