Zero-Waste Home: How A California Family Is Living A Minimalistic Life

Zero-Waste Home: How A California Family Is Living A Minimalistic Life

By Naresh Kumar on January 19, 2011

For anyone wanting to know how to live a minimalistic and eco-friendly life, the Johnson family of California and their Zero-Waste Home may be a good start. From using their own jars to buy and store food and a multi-functional couch that turns into a queen bed to using only essential toiletries and wearing clothes from thrift stores, the Johnson’s have come a long way since they started this quest for a simple life 3 years back by shifting from a 3,000-square-foot home to their new abode that measures less than half of it.

Head on to the Sunset site which has documented several features of this home. Béa Johnson, the lady of the house, herself maintains a blog chronicling her family’s daily life in their minimalistic home and sharing tips for those interested in leading a similar near zero-waste life.
