Trash is for Tossers
Trash is For Tossers is a Zero Waste blog by Lauren Singer.
Founded by Lauren Singer in 2014, Trash is For Tossers started as a personal blog documenting Lauren’s personal journey of reducing her waste to zero.
Lauren, who started living Zero Waste 2 years earlier in 2012, first went viral for fitting a year’s worth of all of the waste she’d created in one 16oz mason jar. Nicknamed by her community as “the girl with the trash jar”, Lauren went on to give a Ted Talk that brought the concept of Zero Waste to millions.
In 2017, Lauren launched Package Free to create a united space for makers of sustainable products that helped to reduce waste, and to make the world less trashy one sustainable swap at a time.
As the editorial arm of Package Free, Trash is for Tossers is a place for readers to be empowered with information and tools to reduce their waste and live in alignment with their environmental values.
