The Zero Waste Solution: Untrashing the Planet One Community at a Time Paperback – October 18, 2013

I am currently a student at SMC and got this book for my Zero Waste Community class. This book is very informative and gives an overview of what is done around the world with respect to Waste Resource Management and great solutions for zero waste communities. Is very well written and a fun read. Totally recommended!!

Met Dr. Connett at a zero waste meeting in Hawai'i several years ago and was inspired at that time by his story ... year later and I finally picked up this book from our local library and was equally impressed by his writing. Decided to share it with a friend on Maui for a Christmas present. Living on an island (and on this one EARTH!) this book is especially important and carries an essential message for all of humanity. HIGHLY recommended!

This book has such valuable information, I wish that everyone would read it and work to implement its recommendations. It has solid solutions for the trash problem.

Reducing waste and diverting residuals to recycling, composting, etc. is a often-overlooked corner of the sustainability movement, despite the dramatic GHG emission reductions it can yield. Good book to build your enthusiasm for zero waste. As a professional in the waste diversion field, I note this book lacks detailed information on how community planners and waste businesses actually do the analysis to get to zero waste. But he gets high marks for enthusiasm, and for compiling many interesting anecdotes. If you get a chance to hear Paul speak, do so - he's engaging and actually does wave his arms he gets so excited about this topic.

I'm working on my Final Capstone project for my Master's Degree in Urban Sustainability regarding green waste diversion from landfills and this book will be cited multiple times...if not mostly :P It's a really good look at how we can turn our society in to one of zero-waste. I love it!

The book gives details on history of zero waste movement worldwide. It gives helpful tips and some practical steps for people to follow like the four R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Redesign, which many of us try to follow in our daily life.The book is sprinkled with good examples. It is interesting to know how local farmers in San Francisco use compost to produce fruit, vegetable and wine and the fact that in Italy primary school students use glass and steel utensils instead of disposable plastic items.The book is very insightful and gives us a lot of good details about managing waste. The aim is to make readers enlightened on contributing to a clean and safe environment.

Great book I needed for a class. Sent quickly - THANKS YOU! and in perfect condition as stated.

nice book
