ABOUT

Thank you for being here

A Little Less Waste is an approachable space for busy moms and families who want to live more sustainably — without the overwhelm or all-or-nothing mindset.

Founded by registered dietitian and mom, Lauren Mardeusz, this blog blends practical tips, honest stories, and simple swaps that make sustainability feel doable in everyday life. From slow living with kids, to supporting local food systems, to mindful home and travel choices — you’ll find ideas here that fit real life.

I believe sustainability isn’t just about what we buy (or don’t buy) — it’s about how we live, the pace we keep, and the values we pass on to our children. Whether you’re curious about low-waste habits, eco-friendly parenting, or just craving a simpler rhythm, you’ll find encouragement, resources, and maybe a little extra breathing room here.
