Waste Not: Make a Big Difference by Throwing Away Less Flexibound – April 2, 2019
Purchase options and add-ons
That's where Erin Rhoads, aka The Rogue Ginger, comes in. Erin went from eating plastic-packaged takeaway while shopping online for fast fashion, to becoming one of Australia's most popular eco-bloggers. Erin knows that small changes can have a big impact. In Waste Not she shares everything she's learnt from her own funny, inspiring—and far-from-perfect—journey to living with less waste.
This practical reference book is split into three parts: Where to start; How to reduce waste at home and in life; and On the road (sustainable work, travel, and activism). Including genuinely accessible and easy tips, this book is perfect for both the novice and the eco-aware.

Erin Rhoads is the curious person behind The Rogue Ginger, one of Australia's popular eco lifestyle websites. She has been been writing about her own journey since 2013 sharing how she reduced plastic and her rubbish, leading to a happier and healthier life. Through Erin's pursuit to live plastic-free and zero-waste, she learnt to eat real food, discovered new skills, cut down her exposure to harmful chemicals, found joy in moments over things and simplified her life, while saving money.
A sought-after speaker and community activist, Erin is on a mission to engage with individuals to redefine what is waste and how we can create less of it.
Erin has authored two popular zero-waste and plastic-free guidebooks, Waste Not: Make a big difference by throwing away less (2018) and Waste Not Everyday (2019). Profits from book sales are donated to Waste Aid Australia.
She was a consultant on ABCs War on Waste; has shared skills and practical help with thousands at workshops, talks and forums; helps organise and assist environmental action groups and co-founded Zero Waste Victoria, Zero Waste Festival, Plastic Bag Free Victoria and Cash For Containers Victoria.
Erin has been featured by BBC World, The Project, Sunrise, The Morning Show, The Age, Guardian, Vogue, Marie Claire, Peppermint Magazine, Women's Weekly, and is a regular contributor on ABC Radio.
Erin lives in Narm (Melbourne, Australia) with her husband and two children.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024Williams Boone and Assoc. Books delivered my book sooner than expected and was wrapped in a mailing envelope and box. This protected the flexbound book, which I appreciated. I would order from them again. The book is chockful of simple suggestions to make a difference in our everyday lives that will support a healthy environment and healthy selves.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2021A clear and helpful book, reading and rereading it over and over again.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2019Easy read. Sounds advice peppered with interesting facts. Practical examples in the home of steps and substitutions that are free or require minimal effort to implement
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2019It has changed my life! Kind of ruined it (LOL) because I now see wastefulness everywhere!! Great starting point!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2019Its very good and beautiful book
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2019This is a beautiful, useful, comprehensive book. I asked for this book for my birthday, and my mom sent it to me. I am impressed by the content, the variety, the level of detail, the writing and editing, and the styling & photography. This book contains tons of how-to information, ideas and suggestions, and possible approaches to execution. One thing I find delightful is the recipes for DIY (or Make-it-yourself) cleaning products, toiletries and beauty products - recipes which are simple and will be easy to make. She also has a resources section, at the end, where she lists sites and stores that sell products in zero-waste or plastic-free packaging. Since I'm a busy mom, I will definitely be using some of these resources! This book is inspirational and instructional, and it will be a great resource for (hopefully) drastically reducing my household waste (especially plastic waste).

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Changed my Life
This book changed my life. I do not remember how I came across this book, but it has been a blessing. This book not only teaches you what plastic can do to you, the environment and eveything inbetween, but she shows you that anyone can make a difference. After reading this book, I have started the switch to a "Zero Waste" lifestyle. My home is now cleaner and healthier. I feel lighter and much happier. 100% must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book!
I just finished reading this book. I am speechless and in utter awe of Erin and her family. Her book is easy to read, informative, factual and super useful! She covers topics and tips that I would never had thought of. I am extremely motivated and can now continue positively into plastic free July! I am stoked that I found the rogue Ginger on Instagram!

5.0 out of 5 stars Was looking forward to reading this book-and was not disappointed
I am a follower if Erin Rhoad's blog, 'The Rogue Ginger' and was looking foward to the release if this book. I was not disappointed. Erin has such a lovely writing style and the book provides perspectives on trying to be zero waste that many people can relate to. Its like having a zero waste 'coach' on hand to help you get started, give you ideas on how to tackle waste in different situations and provide encouragement when not everything goes to plan....

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative
Almost didn’t buy this because another reviewer talked about her wedding being a big part of the book and thought that wouldn’t appeal to my situation. Really glad I gave it a chance! Excellent and informative book...great for reference too. Love her writing style and thoroughly enjoyed the book!
