Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

If you're looking to make a difference in this lifetime you can start by modifying your behavior by helping the planet. I picked up this audiobook because I wanted to make some changes to help the environment. This book has truly given me so many great ideas of things I can start implementing in my life immediately. The book talks a lot about plastics, single use plastics, and how to reduce that waste. As easy as it is for us to order clothing on Amazon, this book also opens our eyes to fast fashion and the waste footprint of the clothing industry. Overall, this comprehensive audiobook has motivated me to make some changes in my life.
