It’s all about reduce, reuse, recycle this week on Sustainability Now!, as your host, Justin Mog, sends nothing but out-dated ways of thinking to the landfill with Stephanie J. Miller, Founder of Zero Waste in DC (http://zerowasteindc.com) and a former Director of Climate Business at the International Finance Corporation, the private sector arm of the World Bank. During her 25-year career at IFC, she led global teams to find innovative solutions to climate change. Stephanie is the author of Zero Waste Living, the 80/20 Way: The Busy Person’s Guide to a Lighter Footprint, which shows individuals how they can have a profound impact on the climate and waste crises.

Many of us feel powerless to solve the looming climate and waste crises. We have too much on our plates, and may think these problems are better solved by governments and businesses. This book unlocks the potential in each “too busy” individual to be a crucial part of the solution. Stephanie Miller combines her career focused on climate change with her own research and personal experience to show how a few, relatively easy lifestyle changes can create significant positive impact. Using the simplicity of the 80/20 rule, she shows us those things (the 20%) that we can do to make the biggest (80%) difference in reversing the climate and waste crises.
