Justin and Anna Marino s journey to a zero-waste lifestyle began over pork sausages in Germany.
Anna, who had been looking into the health benefits of a vegan diet, told her husband that when they returned home from vacation, meat would be officially off the menu.
But eschewing animal products was just the beginning. Soon after, their attention turned to trash. It was kind of like a slow-moving coup on my part, said Anna, 32, a former seller on the website Etsy, who started researching the meat industry and the zero-waste movement. Even though they were only a family of four - the couple have two children, ages 6 and 3 - they knew they needed to change their lives.
