A Zero Waste Family: In Thirty Days

By Anita Vandyke

Second volume in a successful series: A Zero Waste Life released in April 2020, just as the pandemic was closing stores and libraries in the US, and took a toll as a result—and yet sales have grown steadily, with 1200 net to-date and week over week increases in orders and purchases scanned. (In Australia it has sold more than 10,000 copies; it has also been translated into seven languages and won Gold at the Nautilus Book Awards.)

Fills a hole in a successful market: Books on eco-living and books on parenting are in high-demand, but very few books offer eco-living guidance for families. This gorgeous, welcoming book fills the void.

Celebrated author with large following: Anita Vandyke has nearly one million Instagram followers, presenting a built-in audience for her second book. 

Proven success of book to date: A Zero Waste Family released in December 2020 in Australia and has sold more than 3,000 copies there to-date. This North American edition of the book will delight her US and Canadian fans.

Unique call to action with a pragmatic 30-day plan: While it’s common to see calls for greenifying our lives and homes, A Zero Waste Family offers an easy-to-follow action plan presented in a highly readable format.

Cheerful two-color illustrated package: A Zero Waste Family is a vibrant mix of orange and green with engaging and illuminating illustrations throughout. 

Easy and fun: Small-scale, realistic life hacks for parents and children to reduce household waste together, while also having fun as a family. These changes can be made all at once or little by little, comprehensively or à la carte.
