Shia Su was featured as an influencer providing inspiration for sustainable living in the article 'Zero waste: Portraits of two influencers,' emphasizing her role in promoting a world without waste.
Shia Su's blog, Wasteland Rebel, was recognized in '5 Zero Waste Blogs You Should Be Following' for her dedication to a Zero Waste lifestyle for over seven years, starting from when she was young.
Shia Su was listed among '5 Zero Waste Influencers Brands Should Be Working With,' acknowledging her role as a blog runner and podcaster based in Germany, focusing on household waste reduction and eco-friendly products.
Shia Su began her journey toward a zero-waste lifestyle in 2014, alongside her husband, Hanno. This decision stemmed from a desire to live more sustainably and align their actions with their values, after finding corporate life unfulfilling and realizing their consumption habits despite financial stability. Initially, they believed that a truly sustainable life was out of reach due to budget constraints, but a turning point came when they learned about the Johnson family, who managed to fit a year’s worth of trash into a single Mason jar. This discovery, detailed on her blog Wasteland Rebel, motivated Su and Hanno to embark on their own waste reduction efforts, eventually achieving the goal of fitting their annual trash into a small jar through incremental changes.
Su’s approach to zero waste is characterized by its accessibility and practicality, focusing on ‘baby steps’ and simple DIY solutions rather than drastic overhauls. Her blog, Wasteland Rebel, serves as a comprehensive resource for tips and DIYs, covering topics from household chores and food preparation to personal care, all emphasizing straightforward, non-toxic methods. This methodology underscores her belief that sustainability should not be a burden but an empowering process of mindful consumption. Her work has positioned her as a significant influencer in the zero-waste community, contributing to a broader understanding and adoption of eco-friendly practices.
A key milestone in Su’s career is the publication of her book, “Zero Waste: Simple Life Hacks to Drastically Reduce Your Trash,” released by Skyhorse Publishing on April 3, 2018. This book translates her blog’s philosophy into an easy-to-understand resource for beginners, offering practical advice on reducing one’s carbon footprint and minimizing waste. The success of this publication, available in English, German, and Chinese, further cemented her role as an author and advocate for sustainable living. Additionally, she has authored “Zero Waste Upcycling” and “Milch ohne Muh und Mäh” (German titles), and is a podcaster and works for the Cosmo radio network, expanding her reach and influence. Based in Vancouver, Canada, Shia Su continues to advocate for a vegan, plastic- and palm oil-free lifestyle, demonstrating that significant environmental impact can be achieved through small, consistent changes.
