Zero Waste With Anita Vandyke

Episode 135 is a conversation about what it means to strive towards reducing waste and why it is so important that we all do our part. Anita Vandyke is a qualified rocket scientist and medical doctor (Bachelor of Engineering – Aeronautical Space and Doctor of Medicine) and, most importantly, mother to Vivian. She was born in Guangzhou, China, raised in Australia, and currently splits her time between Sydney and San Francisco. Anita is a well-known champion of zero-waste and sustainable living, you can find her on Instagram at @rocket_science. Her new book is a 30-day guide highlighting the life and sustainability lessons that Anita learned during her first year of motherhood, whilst still applying principles of minimalism and zero waste. It won Gold at the Nautilus Book Awards in 2019 and has been translated to seven languages. Anita shows how you can radically reduce your family waste by 80% in 30 days by focusing on the concept of a ‘ripple effect’ – self-care, home care and child care – because if you don’t put on your own oxygen mask first, how can you be expected to look after others? Weaving in her own personal discoveries, retrospections and stories since becoming a mother, Anita illustrates how her approach to reducing waste has adapted and changed. Zero waste is no longer just about living a plastic-free life. It’s about not wasting your lifeA Zero Waste Family by Anita Vandyke, published by Penguin Random House on 1 December $19.99.
