How to Create a Zero Waste Kitchen WITHOUT Overhauling Your Life

The average American family fills a 13-gallon kitchen trash bag every 1–2 days. We just took out our 5-gallon trash can for the first time in four weeks. We don't live off-grid or bake all of our own crackers... anymore.

These days, our lives are busier and less “perfectly” zero waste than they used to be, but the trash hasn’t crept back in.

In this video, I’m breaking down the kitchen habits that have actually stuck. The ones that still save us waste (and money) no matter how much our routines change. These aren’t aesthetic swaps or high-effort DIYs. Just simple, low-lift systems that work in real life.

We’ll talk food storage, paper towel alternatives, bulk buying basics, how to compost in any size space, and why the most sustainable thing you can do might just be doing less.

Whether you're just starting out or trying to get back on track without the guilt, this video is for you.
