33 Zero Waste Bloggers and Instagram Accounts You Need to Follow

 

One way to get inspiration for living a low/zero waste life is to follow others who are on the same journey! I originally created this post over a year ago, and at the time had only 15 people that I regularly followed that I recommended (that doesn’t mean there were only 15 at the time, just 15 that resonated with me). I am excited to say that as I’m updating it present day, there are now countless people documenting their zero/low waste journey that I resonate with. I think is a great thing! Why? Because the more awareness and the more voices we can let shine within this realm, the more people will see/hear it. Plus, while the topic may be similar, each person has their own unique voice and way of doing things, which is a beautiful thing. 

 

Following zero waste influencers is a great way to keep motivated, find inspiration, and get new ideas. They can also be great for learning about topics you may not necessarily know about such as environmental justice issues. 

 

It also has been helpful for when I get discouraged, such as when the recent ICPP Climate Change Report came out. It helps to know I am not alone in my efforts, and I love that others are getting the word out there about reducing waste!

You know, decreasing my trash is something I talk with my husband every now and then and we even sat down once to talk about different things we could do in other to do that. Sadly, we have done very little in that regard. I confess that laziness plays a role in it. It is easier to continue doing what we already do. However I have been reading a lot about habits lately and the truth is that reducing your waste could become a habit. Starting is the key.

I am always working to decrease my waste, and it’s always great to find more zero waste bloggers to follow 🙂 I’ve never actually weighed my weekly waste though; I usually just have about half a bag of garbage in the can and that’s it, but I’d be curious to see my weekly waste by weight 🙂

Patricia @ Grab a Plate

What a cool challenge! We could all do better! I’m heading over now to check out some of the bloggers you listed!

Our biggest family success with reducing waste to backyard chickens. We send ALL our organic, compostable and food waste straight into a bucket in the kitchen and after breakfast every morning it is emptied onto the chicken coop floor. This single step reduced our kerbside waste collection by over half! It is really quite amazing just how much compostable and chicken-fodder ready stuff we were sending to landfill.
Thank you
Bren
