Sustainable Minimalism: Embrace Zero Waste, Build Sustainability Habits That Last, and Become a Minimalist Without Sacrificing the Planet

I pre-ordered this book because I wanted to live a (slightly) more minimalist lifestyle and I genuinely care about the planet. After hearing Stephanie's podcast, I knew she was the right person to guide me on this journey. I have decluttered and organized in the past (even hired professionals help) only to find that within a few months, everything is once again starting to pile up. I was missing a piece of the puzzle and this book does an amazing job at providing practical tips as well as the overall ethos of sustainability.I love her warm, personal style. I've experienced the clutter that comes from baby-items taking over your entire house! I really want the peace of mind that comes from a de-cluttered space... it's esthetically, financially, spiritually, and practically rewarding.I haven't even finished the book and I already love it!

Bridging the gap between eco-friendliness and minimalism, this book was so enjoyable to read! I find a lot of environmentally responsible writing guides you towards consumption, and often times minimalist media relies solely on less consumption instead of talking about how it is helpful to make your choices lean green even if you aren't making many. Not this book. Stephanie recognizes the importance of both. I found this to be well organized and filled with tips for both beginners and the experienced. I definitely recommend!

I've already recommended this book to so many people.As someone who just recently began exploring minimalism for my household, I was so happy to find Stephanie Seferian's book. The ideas were super practical and approachable for someone who is relatively new to the concepts. Within a few days of reading this we had already employed about a dozen of the strategies laid out in the book that took us minimal effort but will make a big difference for our family.I also loved that the book is laid out in a way that flows, yet can be taken "a la carte" for those areas of focus that we really want to hit hard.

I bought Sustainable Minimalism for my Kindle after following Stephanie's podcast and loving all the practical tips for creating minimal, sustainable habits. One of her episodes on creating a sustainable laundry room changed how we clean clothes for good!Her book reads as clear and practical as her podcast, it is full of expert insights from her own personal journey and professional experience. I breezed through the book and the combination of simple tips with values-affirming messages has left me inspired and ready to continue working towards sustainable minimalism in my home and life.I would highly recommend Stephanie's book as a great place to start for environmentalists and de-clutterers alike. Sustainable Minimalism can change your life!

One of the best resources I’ve found on tidying up & minimalism! An easy read with practical tips & tricks for how to tackle the daunting task of living a clutter-free lifestyle, yet at the same time sustaining our environment & leaving as low a carbon footprint as possible. Highly recommend this book for all! I’ve tried to follow so many other resources on minimalism, but this was the first one to actually get me motivated to start my decluttering process in a serious manner!

I didn’t realize I was looking for this book until I found it! From practical day to day guidance and small lifestyle tweaks to a blueprint for a bigger sustainable minimalist plan, this book has it all.And it’s written as if the author is speaking to me - the one who believes in all of this but isn’t sure how to get started or what “enough” is. And until now I hadn’t really connected all the dots between the psychology around over consumption and what it’s doing to our planet. What a great read - I’m recommending it to all of my friends and family. Thank you Stephanie - the world needs more people like you in it!

Such an incredible book! Stephanie brings key issues into light - how we can reduce our dependence on items and buying, but in a sustainable way. I love the way that this book connects many stories from other readers and listeners. Having the shared experience reminds us that we can all take small actions to benefit the greater good. This is truly a must read for 2021!

I really enjoyed this book from cover to cover! While reading each chapter I felt informed and inspired to make small yet impactful changes that I know will make a big difference over time. Each chapter is broken down into relatable subjects with tips and tricks on how to be more sustainable without the guilt of not being perfect. I appreciated how open she is about her own sustainable journey, the easy swaps, the hard challenges, and fun personal stories that anyone can relate to. Thank you Stephanie, for this awesome, sustainable book!

Absolutely love the way Stephanie has written about this concept of living a sustainable life without the negative judgement that if you're not full on zero-waste you're an awful human being. I really appreciated how she touched on all departments of our lives and how we can be more mindful and sustainable in each one. It is truly a complete guide to a better lifestyle.
