Shia Su peppers her exuberant text with exclamation points and personal stories, making this an engaging read. Writing from her home in Germany, Shia connects Europe and the United States through experiences that are universal and her use of statistics from organizations familiar to a U.S.-based reader. Her perspective that ‘being zero waste means starting with myself and what I have direct control over’ is underscored in her text to simplify life, be healthier, save money, feel empowered, have time for what matters. The bibliography and further resource pages are helpful for further reading and exploration.
