It was just picked up right away by people that were in the industry, promoting the industry or teaching within the industry of zero waste.  It took a while to get it in everyday households, to get people to become interested.

There are a lot of things out there that I have yet to learn and sometimes it can be a little overwhelming; a little intimidating.  I try to take it one day at a time...
