Review of Garbology by Edward Humes Chapter 12

Now that we're coming to an end, Edward Humes gives us an overview of how a woman named Bea Johnson and her family had changed their way of living, meaning having a home with zero-waste. The Johnsons are living in an apartment where not everything fits, so they definitely had to get rid of some items.  She finds recycling to be a waste as well. The changes that the family has made includes shopping and storing food in mason jars, making a homemade multipurpose cleaner, shopping at thrift stores for clothing, using a handkerchief instead of paper tissues, etc., but most importantly, they chose not to buy anything that had/ made of paper or tissue. Overall, this had to be my favorite chapter because the Johnsons have proved the impossible. Despite the criticism she receives, she has changed the way how people think. I am for sure amazed by what she has done.
