About ‘If Trash Could Talk’

Call it trash, garbage, refuse, discards, waste or scraps. It speaks volumes about what we buy, how long we keep things, how easy it is to get them repaired, how we can creatively upcycle, repurpose or find our stuff new homes — and why we should avoid buying some of them in the first place.

If Trash Could Talk celebrates creativity, resourcefulness and ingenuity — and living a trash-free life, joyfully and soulfully.
