It was a great success! We really appreciated Bea's ability to use personal anecdotes about her trials to bring this huge topic down to a manageable scale for our audience. She lent a unique angle and understanding that makes zero waste seem less daunting.

Waste not, want not isn't about penny pinching. It's about gratitude and loving our lives. Bea Johnson doesn't just teach us to save the planet. She teaches us to save ourselves.
