What is The Waste Free Way

The keys to change are guidance and support ~ begin your environmental living transition

Zero Waste ~ Plastic Free ~ Eco Living ~ Waste Free ~ Environmentally Friendly ~ Conservation ~ Sustainability..... 

We are seeing these terms more and more, but where does one start?

The Waste Free Way has one intention ~ to help as many people as humanly possible transition to a waste free lifestyle for the sake of themselves, the Planet & every living being on it.

It promotes living harmoniously with the Planet; encouraging personal growth, a sense of community, & care for our environment. It helps people connect to the growing global movement of environmental living by providing complete support & guidance; teaching a way of being that gives people the power, tools & critical thinking to make this lifestyle change permanent.

The urgency and momentum to act for the Planet is increasing but trying to change so many aspects of your lifestyle at once can be overwhelming to the point of paralysis. The Waste Free Way provides a simplistic yet comprehensive collection of concepts, tools and philosophies born from years of waste free living experience & a deep, unstoppable desire to preserve our incredible Earth.

What they say

“I have always dreamed of living a waste free lifestyle, however have felt too overwhelmed by where to start. The Waste Free Way has made this transition far less intimidating. This is made possible by Asher's wealth of knowledge and ability to breakdown each of the changes necessary. The Waste Free Way guide is very accommodating to the level of waste free living you wish to achieve. This way you can tailor the program to suit your circumstances without the guilt of feeling like a failure. The Wastefree way has left me feeling inspired to live a life I fully agree with by consuming consciously and living mindfully.”

“I have known Asher since our days at university and I am inspired by her creative activism around waste free living. Asher is a bold and powerful woman who has encouraged me to consider my walk on this earth in a fresh way. I am a proud Kuku Yalanji woman from the Daintree Rainforest & China Camp areas, as well as Kuku Ngunkal from the Shiptons Flat area in Far North Queensland. I have grown up understanding as a custodian of the boundaries of these lands, my role involves caring for (country), or in my language "bubu". My Waste Free Way journey complements my already established values of treading lightly on our earth. The online platform has been simple and easy to navigate. I have enjoyed progressing through the course units at my own pace as I soak up the learnings. I do believe that I am now making even more conscious decisions as I transition to a longterm waste free lifestyle.”

“Living sustainably has always been something that I have been passionate about. Little did I know until I joined the Waste Free Way Program that the Zero Waste community was my home. Personally, I found the term “ Zero Waste” super confronting as I had so many parts of my life I felt like I could improve. Asher makes a waste free living movement achievable no matter where you are in your journey. Whether you have got your first keep cup or are rocking it at are making your own diy products. This program has a place for you and whatever your "why" may be. I am very thankful to Ashers approach to the waste-free movement. The learnings this program has given me will last a lifetime as I learn more and more about my waste-free living every day. We are so privileged to have the chance to impact the world through our everyday consumption and behaviours. Just because you are reading this review shows that this is something deep inside you know you want to do. I promise you will not regret taking this program. We are here to do this together and Asher and The Waste freeway community is the perfect place to get started.”
