Year of No Garbage is Super Size Me meets the environmental movement. In this book Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all. For an entire year. And- as it turns out- during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken, and single stream recycling is a lie. That flushable wipes aren't flushable and compostables aren't compostable. That plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you've ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you're gonna want to read this book. more: getthefunkoutshow.kuci.org
What does trash have to do with homesteading? Well, everything. As we progress on our old-fashioned journeys, it quickly becomes apparent that everything is connected-- our food, our health, and our environments. And trash, specifically plastic, is a huge issue. However, once again, and old-fashioned mindset is the answer to this very modern problem. In this podcast episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by internationally published author and humorist Eve O. Schaub to discuss her new book, A Year of No Garbage. Not only does she make this topic entertaining, she makes it feel doable. You're going to enjoy this one.Learn more about Eve O.

In this podcast, we will be discussing the book Year of No Clutter, by Eve O. Schaub. We chose this book because it addresses ideas around clutter- clutter that inhabits all of our lives. Eve takes a year to declutter her home, most particularly a room she calls the Hell Room. Through her decluttering journey, we learn about Eve’s family’s habits of holding onto clutter, the deep rooted reasons why Eve holds onto material things, and lessons we can all use in our own lives. Eve is a Modern Athena because she has overcome a significant emotional and physical challenge and transformed her way of thinking to make a better life for herself and a better future for her daughters, by setting the example.
