Authors Dave and Lillian Brummet offer an upbeat- proactive look at waste and resource management with their inspiring new book Trash Talk. They explain that every one of us can do something to help our world - starting right where we are- right now. Trash Talk is not a quick fix solution - it is about changing consumer/' s mind-sets by providing ideas that inspire participation from the ground level. Not everyone can afford to donate cash or time to a cause but by implementing the concept of Trash Talk- the average person can make small alterations in their lives that affect positive changes for the Earth.
Canadian writers Dave and Lillian Brummet reside in the southwest region of British Columbia. Their work has appeared in a variety of Canadian publications. In addition- the Brummets also wear many other hats - as gardeners- seed savers- cooks- photographers- business owners and outdoor enthusiasts. Ultimately- it is a love of nature and healthy living that is the major driving force and inspiration for their many projects.
