No trash in last two years.

A young woman on a mission, making Earth cleaner, environment green.  Lauren Singer, has not made any trash in the last two years, yes you heard it –no trash whatsoever. Her blog Trash is for Tossers chronicles her journey that leads to a trash free life.  She does not buy new clothes, packaged goods and even makes her own cleaning supplies. The journey wasn’t an easy one, albeit a fulfilling one nevertheless.

From her blog comes the announcement: with readers constantly asking where they could buy cleaning products as pure as her homemade recipes, Singer was launching a Kickstarter campaign for a new company, The Simply Co. — zero-waste, plastic-free, and built from day one on the standards she held herself to.

She asked for $10,000. When this article was published, the campaign was already 255% funded at $25,475 with three days to go. It would go on to close at over $41,000 — the $10,000 goal hit in under 48 hours (she told the story years later in this interview). Singer went on to found Package Free, the zero-waste shop in Brooklyn.
