This inspiring and practical guide to reducing your use of plastic is packed with information, how-to’s and tips to help you cook, clean, shop, wear, and live plastic-free. Kate shows how to reduce your waste and live more simply and sustainably, no matter where you’re starting from. With over 60 recipes—covering nutrition, bodycare, hygiene and cleaning—Kate Nelson provides the tools you need to make small personal changes that have lasting global impact. Includes dual measures.

Kate Nelson started her journey in 2008 when she volunteered at Jean Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Futures Society. Since then she has lobbied government, pitched to corporates, spoken at schools all over the world, and founded an education and advocacy not-for-profit called "Save the Mermaids" to spread the sustainability message. She has been plastic-free for 10 years and continues to run workshops and educate 74,000+ social media followers on the joys of living simply and consciously.
