Every year, each of us throws away more than 400 kilograms of garbage. Our bottles, yogurt cups and cotton swabs do not disappear into a black hole, but remain on the planet. Packages lie at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, in the stomachs of whales and at the top of Everest. Garbage islands have already been found even in the Black Sea, surfers in Bali are knocked down not by waves, but by garbage. But it is in our power to delay the onset of the eco-apocalypse, we just need to reduce the amount of our own waste. In her book, Violetta Ryabko, head of the Greenpeace media department, tells how to replace T-shirt bags, whether sex can be eco-friendly, what to do with cosmetics and clothes, how to organize a birthday party without garbage and at the same time not go crazy and not quarrel with relatives. This book is a detailed instruction on how to implement the principle of zero waste, as well as a collection of funny and ironic stories about what it is like to be an eco-activist and just a caring person in our country.
