Bea Johnson is an activist in the Zero Waste movement. Her family of four and a dog only leaves one can of waste per year and saves up to 40 percent of their budget. In this book, the author shares his experience and describes in detail how to organize everyday life in accordance with the five “O” rule: give up unnecessary things; limit what is necessary; reuse what you have already purchased; recycle what you cannot use; compost the rest. This rule will help you save natural resources, declutter space, get rid of the power of unnecessary things, simplify your life and free up time for really important things. The book has been translated into twenty-five languages. For the Russian-language publication, Irina Kozlovskikh, an employee of the Russian branch of Greenpeace, prepared a preface, expert comments and a list of useful links for free.
