Bea Johnson har båret idéen om affaldsreduktion fra industrien over i privatsfæren. Hun har dermed gjort sig selv til grundlægger af zero waste-livsstilen, der fokuserer på at leve simplere, sundere og med mere tid til det væsentlige. Det nye er, at Bea ikke starter med, hvordan vi genbruger, men hvordan vi forbruger. Nøglen til forandring ligger ikke så meget i, hvad vi gør derhjemme, men i højere grad, hvad vi gør, når vi er ude – fx i en indkøbssituation. Bogen er delt mellem Beas lærerige erfaringer, overvejelser og praktiske how tos. Hvordan finder man modet til at være en mere besværlig kunde? Hvordan organiserer man rejsetasken? Hvad gør man, når velmenende familie og venner kommer med gaver? Og hvordan laver man sin egen mascara?
