Today's episode is a bit different. It's an introductory chat to our guest host, Mark about his own experiences of daring greatly. Mark talks to us about his many careers, ultrarunning, being a Gurkha, photography, recovery after being injured in service, being a multipotentialite, mountain guiding and more (watch this space - we've submitted a definition to the Urban Dictionary - thanks to the excellent Anna McNuff for introducing us to this excellent term).

Rachel Carson is a woman with a mission. A chance encounter with some shocking images from Chris Jordan, of albatrosses suffering the effects of plastic pollution, set her on a journey with the aim of producing as little waste as possible. This episode is a long, twisty, sometimes unexpected, sometimes serious and sometimes funny journey through Rachel's experience of reducing her household waste. Rachel's Instagram is https://www.instagram.com/onestepatatime61/ and people are welcome to contact her with questions about going zero waste. Rachel gives us some very useful tips and tricks on where to start with reducing our household waste: Start in the bathroom. Replace things with plastic-free alteratives as you run out.Cure your bath soap. Try and go for palm oil free. Toothbrush - could use a bamboo toothbrush if you don't use an electric toothbrush, otherwise keep that as they are probably better. Toothpaste tabs instead of tubes of toothpaste. Shampoo – shampoo bar or “beauty cubes”. Vinegar rinse.House cleaning: cheap white vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, tiny amounts of washing up liquid, citric acid, damp cloth, metal scrubber. Persevere and don't expect everything to feel like for like!Here are some links to people and ideas mentioned in the show: The other Rachel Carson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_CarsonChris Jordan – Albatross images and movie: https://www.instagram.com/albatrossthefilm/Natalie Fee and City to Sea: https://twitter.com/nataliefee?lang=enSuma (wholesale wholefoods): https://www.suma.coop/David Wallace Wells – The Uninhabitable Earth - on twitter @dwallacewells Greta Thunberg: https://www.instagram.com/gretathunberg/Lush: https://uk.lush.comRachel has also kindly provided us with some further links that might help people keen to take their own zero waste effort more seriously:https://www.ingreens.co.uk - "Lowry is a delight!

**Contains some swearing**Jesse is the kind of guy who lives and breathes Type 2 fun. A few months ago, he heard about a challenge that had been set by Commando Temple Gym owner Rob, to walk to Brighton and back in 48 hours. No checkpoints, no medical support, completely self-supported. Without a second thought Jesse dived into the challenge head first, beginning with two friends and ending in in a delirious solo stumble of glory.
