Bare Necessities: How To Live A Zero-Waste Life by Mansoor and Riddler

This insightful read introduces and guides you towards inculcating positive steps that benefit both – the planet and us.  It’s a complete guide to a zero waste lifestyle. Being more mindful about our consumption and striking a healthy balance between what’s good for the environment, what’s good for us and a harmonious co-existence with all other living beings would be the takeaway!

This essential book is authored by 2 passionate sustainability enthusiasts – Sahar Mansoor and Tim de Riddler who draw inspiration and illustrate their personal stories to strengthen their case. I have been wanting to move towards a more sustainable  lifestyle for a while now so the tips mentioned in the book were pretty helpful and challenged my take on certain topics which helped me realise my standpoint and where I need to be headed.

Take it slow, read every chapter which is topic-specific, reflect and start by implementing at least one or two if you’re just starting out or a few new ones if you’re already begun your sustainability journey. Every little deed towards a greener lifestyle goes a long way and if every little choice we make is rooted in respecting the diversity of our incredible nature , we’d be making this world much better place to live in.

I loved how inclusive and diverse the author has been in laying out facts and drawing wisdom from, whilst covering the entire spectrum of realizing our inner power!
