Guest Award-winning cookbook author, blogger, fermenter and sourdough baker Anne-Marie Bonneau has lived plastic-free since 2011. Through social media, her blog and her book, The Zero-Waste Chef: Plant-Forward Recipes and Tips for a Sustainable Kitchen and Planet, Anne-Marie shows others how reducing their trash not only benefits the planet but also satisfies their taste buds, improves their well-being and boosts their bank accounts. Summary Anne-Marie Bonneau offers practical approaches to reducing waste, particularly focusing on food waste and plastic consumption. She emphasizes that while achieving absolute zero waste isn't realistic, making small, manageable changes can have a significant impact. The discussion covers various accessible strategies, from using cloth shopping bags and produce bags to cooking with dried beans instead of canned ones. Anne-Marie addresses common misconceptions about food expiration dates and reveals that only 5% of plastic gets recycled in the US. She challenges the myth that sustainable living is necessarily expensive or time-consuming, suggesting that it often saves money by reducing food waste and unnecessary purchases. The conversation touches on composting initiatives, the problems with plastic recycling, and creative ways to use food scraps. Throughout the episode, Anne-Marie maintains that living more sustainably should be enjoyable rather than burdensome, noting that it leads to a lighter, more satisfying lifestyle with better food choices and less clutter. Key Takeaways Food waste in landfills produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas; composting is a better alternative Only about 5% of plastic is recycled in the US; reducing plastic use is more effective than recycling Simple changes like using reusable bags, buying in bulk, and cooking from scratch can significantly reduce waste Adopting a low-waste lifestyle can improve health, save money, and be a more satisfying way to live Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZeroWasteChef Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zerowastechef Threads: https://www.threads.net/@zerowastechef newsletter: https://zerowastechef.substack.com/   About Jeff Jeff Ikler is the Director of Quetico Leadership and Career Coaching. “Quetico” (KWEH-teh-co).
