- Since 2008, Bea Johnson and her family are dedicated to living a zero waste lifestyle; they generate a mere quart size jar of waste per year. Through her blog and with her book Zero Waste Home, Bea inspires a growing international community to live simply and take a stance against needless waste with the application of the 5R's: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot. She shatters misconceptions, proving that zero waste can not only be "stylish", but also lead to significant health benefits, and time and money savings. Grand Prize winner of The Green Awards, she regularly speaks at universities and corporate events, and opens her home to educational tours and the media. Named "The Priestess of Waste-Free Living" by the New York Times, she has appeared on TV shows and in publications around the world. With her passion and positive outlook, she has become a "guru" and spokesperson for the zero waste lifestyle. She is a French native who currently lives in Mill Valley, California.
