Author, Content Creator & Digital Marketing Expert

Hey, there!

I'm Tara McKenna

If you're new around here, let me introduce myself.

 

A few years back I started a blog called The Zero Waste Collective. Across social media, I grew my community to over 450K. I also grew an email list with thousands of subscribers, worked with 100+ brands on paid collaborations, and gained some celebrity followers and shout-outs along the way. ZWC became expansive and global!

Plus I wrote a book, Don't Be Trashy: A Practical Guide to Living with Less Waste and More Joy, published by Penguin Random House. I've had extensive media coverage and interviews, as well as numerous public speaking events. If you love decluttering, you'll enjoy The Decluttered Home Bundle and following along at @mindfully_tara.
