Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 6, 2022 is: milieu • meel-YOO • noun A milieu is the physical or social setting in which something occurs or develops. The word is synonymous with environment. // The quiet suburban neighborhood provides the perfect milieu for raising a family. See the entry > Examples: "Before the pandemic, a lot of people were focused on how to make a home office sustainable … and that includes not only how the milieu is conducive to productivity, but also how it helps you establish a good work-life balance….." — Ashlee Piper, quoted in Entrepreneur, 10 Feb. 2022 Did you know? Milieu comes from Old French mi (meaning "middle") and lieu ("place"). The word refers to an environment or setting. In English, lieu also is used to mean "place" and most often occurs in the phrase "in lieu of," as in "Cash is preferred but in lieu of cash a credit card is acceptable."

Helloooooooo earth fans, meet this lovely badass, Ashlee Piper! I first encountered her (name) when I ordered her book "Give a Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet."

I was overjoyed that she agreed to come on the show and she drops some true GEMS in our chat. You can read about her and her book here: https://www.ashleepiper.com/book More: https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/417600 https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashlee-piper-4401498/ She also mentions several great websites, orgs and groups, like your local "buy nothing" group on facebook, "free geek", thredup, and more. I learned so much from her in this interview beyond what I'd learned in her book. Also you MUST watch her TED TALK as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBdSz0ox4PQ

We love to be right. So much so, that we often trade being right for being in relationship.   Without relationships, we cannot experience meaningful change because the change we desire is rooted in relationships, not the certainty of being right.   But dang, the expediency and certainty of being right sure are seductive.   Pursuing being right cultivates the tunnel vision of perfectionism which runs rampant over our curiosity and creativity–the very ingredients needed for us to have a sustained impact.   When we focus more on creating change instead of criticizing ourselves or others, we are freed up to get creative about our sustainability practices and modeling this for others too.   But too often, perfectionism has a party. We want to get it right from the start and fear making mistakes.   Or we worry about sustaining the work we are already doing, so we don't bother starting, counting ourselves out, believing our small actions do not make a difference.   But they do.   Climate solutions require collective action.   Most solutions that are sustainable require collective action and leaders focused on being right end up cultivating conflict and criticism instead.   Leaders who are committed to relationships end up cultivating creativity, community and the collective action we need to create sustainable solutions. We can all start or continue our sustainability journey with this in mind.   My guest today leads many on the imperfect journey of sustainability.   Ashlee Piper is a political strategist turned vegan and eco-lifestyle expert and author of the bestselling–and very funny–book, Give a Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet. Her work has been featured in/on Washington Post, Real Simple, BuzzFeed, GLAMOUR, NBC, CBS, and ABC, to name a few.   Listen to the full episode to hear: How Ashlee remains committed to her values while evolving her approach past rigidity and toward connection Why we need openness, curiosity and tolerance along with accountability in our movements How her background in politics and policy work informs Ashlee's approach to sustainability How Ashlee moved through a major setback to accepting the failure, revising her approach and trying again How perfectionism creates inaction and why it's okay to embrace imperfection, flexibility, and accessibility in our sustainability strategies   Learn more about Ashlee Piper: AshleePiper.com Instagram: @AshleePiper Give a Sh*t: Do Good.

Small steps lead to greater environmental change. Sustainability and environmental concerns are impacted by the small choices you make in daily life. Eco-evangelist Ashlee Piper urges for people to take a step beyond recycling. While recycling helps reduce overall waste, examining one’s daily garbage creation will make a bigger difference. Look at how much packaging you throw away in a day. Transitioning to a plant-based diet is good for the health of the planet. If you aren’t ready to eliminate meat completely, reducing your weekly consumption helps. For your fur baby, sustainable pet supplies are great. T-shirt strips braided into ropes make great toys. Consider second-hand supplies. Get smart at the supermarket. Eat ugly produce. Bring your own bags. Shop bulk foods to avoid excessive packaging.

About three months ago one of my friends had asked me if I had heard of this book, Give a shit. Then not even a week later someone mentioned it to me again and said I needed to connect with Ashelee because I would find she is my spirit animal. Holy bananas they were right.

In today's show you’ll learn easy things to add in your every day life to be a kick ass eco celebrity, you’ll learn why being an eco-sucking parasite can no longer exist in our modern world and how everyone can join the revolution even if you drive a Porsche and consume palm oil - side note I may show up on your doorstep if I find out your consuming palm oil - just putting that out there.

In this episode, I'm talking with with Ashlee Piper, author of the book "Give a Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet." We chat about everything from the power of intention and alignment to how, as an "eco-evangelist," she holds onto hope in the scary state of the world.

When I first learned about Ashlee Piper and her book through a mutual friend, I was immediately smitten. A style-savvy, cruelty-free, snarky, smart-as-hell woman helping us all figure out how the hell to ACTUALLY live more sustainably? SIGN ME THE F UP.Okay, the interview itself was super fun and informative, so just trust me and listen— and now Imma tell you about Ashlee's book because I'm a #FANGIRL.At first, I bought the Kindle version of Ashlee's book, Give a Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet. (and listened to some of the audiobook on a trip— thanks Nashville Public Library!)— but after realizing that A) this was a book I'd be continuing to reference for YEARS to come, and B) SO much thought went into making it a sustainably printed book— 100% recycled paper, nontoxic vegetable-based inks and printed in North America at a hydropowered printing facility— I knew I wanted the print version.And y'all, the printed book is BEAUTIFUL, on top of being pull-off-the-shelf-every-week useful. I am seriously in awe of depth of research and work Ashlee went into for this book... it is incredibly thorough in every way— like her instructions on the best way to reuse or dispose of any scraps or materials used in every recipe.Buy yourself a copy as a holiday gift to the earth, and you should proooobably also get a copy for any millennial on your gift-shopping list, duh.For full show notes including Ashlee's bio, and links to resources and other stuff we mention in the episode, head over here.Also, if you want some juicy goodness from me every Wendesday, sign up for my Mid-Week Magic weekly email that includes a song of the week, mantra of the week, and 5-minute challenge of the week! 

Saving the earth may seem like a hopeless situation—best left to lawmakers and politicians, but there is great power in individual choices- many made from the comfort of your home.  Today’s instructor Ashlee Piper is going to teach us changes we can make right away, to make our homes a more eco-friendly place. Ashlee is a political strategist turned vegan and eco-lifestyle expert, writer, and TV personality whose work has been featured in and on GLAMOUR, Refinery29, Apartment Therapy, Design*Sponge, Women's Health and ABC News just to name a few.  In June 2018 she literally wrote the book book on stylish, sustainable living, titled: Give a Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet.   By the end of this class you’ll know the dos and don’t of recycling, have a greater knowledge of some great eco friendly technology and have action steps for building out your space more consciously.

Ashlee Piper, author of "Give a Sh*t," chats with Alex this week about how climate change impacts us as women and mothers, and all the things we care about. How would our lives look differently with more of a minimalist lifestyle? We would have more time and more energy, big things women desire. Did you know we spend 55 minutes a day just looking for things? Ashlee talks with us about how climate change influences global security and terrorism, the Marie Kondo movement versus ethical offloading, and what the American dream has become.

Remember when people used to say, 'oh she's the type who recycles!', like it was the most crunchy granola thing. Now, recycling is mainstream but does it make a difference in the enormous amount of trash we create? Recently China banned importing foreign garbage and it's put a huge kink in global recycling. Today we'll talk about why recycling isn't as it seems and 5 ways you can make a dent in reducing and reusing before relying on recycling. ▶ Instagram: www.instagram.com/liveplanted/ Give a Sh*t by Ashlee Piper: https://amzn.to/2EvvBVo Find a complete list of everything MENTIONED on the show: http://liveplanted.com/?p=2939 LP MERCH: www.etsy.com/shop/LivePlanted?r?=l2-shop-info-name ✮Write a review & subscribe in iTunes (preferably a 5✮!)

We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more. We are chatting with Ashlee Piper today, author of one of my new favorite book, Give A Shi**, Do Good, Live Better, Save The Planet.

The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values.

Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community.

Car Con Carne, presented by the Autobarn Mazda of Evanston, heads to the Ravenswood area to meet up with author/vegan/sustainability expert Ashlee Piper (Give a Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet.) Given Ashlee's background, it made sense to meet at  Urban Vegan (1601-1603 W Montrose Ave, Chicago, IL 60613). Discussed on the show this week: My first guest for a new sponsor has a book with profanity right in the title. Did I mess up when I went grocery shopping? Did I do the right thing by going to a farmers market? Preparing for Ashlee made me paranoid about everything. Ashlee isn't perfect: "I am a fallible, flawed human being." Ashlee brought her own containers for carry-out from Urban Vegan. We recorded the show in the handsome and badass Mazda CX-9, courtesy of the Autobarn Mazda of Evanston. New word alert! Ashlee breaks in two for the podcast! Vegenaise is the "Lord's sauce." Mission #1: DON'T SPILL IN THE AUTOBARN CAR. I'm a saucy sandwich! I eat my meal from Ashlee's family silver. Eating meat is super hard on the environment. Ashlee's Buzzfeed quiz: "Which ethical vegan are you?" We make about 4.1 pounds individually every single day. "That can't be right." I don't like farm shares. When CSAs go bad: "BEETS COMING OUT OF YOUR ASS" Recycling tips What good can one person realistically do? "We live in some trying political times." "I haven't even noticed." I'm an asshole for using a straw. Ashlee on the Mazda CX-9: "This car is legit." Tales of a branded Mazda 3, and the family conflict it created. The Ravinia crowd: "Those people don't get me." I refuse to double dip. I stay parked with semi-famous local people. It only took Ashlee three weeks to write "Give a Shit."

Wanna get a book published, but nervous you might not have what it takes? Wanna save the planet, but too busy shaming yourself because you don't know if you even recycle the "right way?" Ashlee Piper's got you covered. Ashlee is an eco-lifestyle journalist, TV personality, and author of the new sustainable living book, Give A Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet. Her work has been featured in and she's a regular contributor for Glamour, Refinery29, The Washington Post, NBC, FOX, and more.  In this episode, Ashlee breaks down ALL the real-deal step-by-steps of getting a book published by a major publishing house (yep, even if you don't have "connections" or tens of thousands of followers), how an idea can evolve over time to become what it's actually meant to be (everyone needs a first draft in life!), and how we can all do our part, no matter WHAT our life looks like, to give a sh*t and save the world - literally. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Show Notes: Website: www.ashleepiper.com Book info: www.ashleepiper.com/book IG: @ashleepiper FB/Twitter: @thelilfoxes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Today's sponsor is S.W.

Primates rescued from labs and given up on as pets find refuge at Jungle Friends. Victoria chats with founder Kari Bagnall, after an upbeat opener with lifestyle guide Ashlee Piper, author of Give a Sh*t: Do Good, Live Better, Save the Planet.

Small steps lead to greater environmental change.Sustainability and environmental concerns are impacted by the small choices you make in daily life. Eco-evangelist Ashlee Piper urges for people to take a step beyond recycling. While recycling helps reduce overall waste, examining one’s daily garbage creation will make a bigger difference. Look at how much packaging you throw away in a day. Transitioning to a plant-based diet is good for the health of the planet. If you aren’t ready to eliminate meat completely, reducing your weekly consumption helps. For your fur baby, sustainable pet supplies are great. T-shirt strips braided into ropes make great toys. Consider second-hand supplies. Get smart at the supermarket. Eat ugly produce. Bring your own bags. Shop bulk foods to avoid excessive packaging. Listen as Ashlee joins Lisa Davis to share tips on how to make the world a better, more sustainable place.

As soon as I read a preview about Ashlee Piper's then unreleased book, 'Give a Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet.' I knew I had to have her as a guest. The day has come my friends, Ashlee is on the pod talking about practicing being eco-friendly in a practical way! She's sharing veganism's role in environmentalism, how we're personally powerful to make a difference, and why minimalism in its truest form is taking a breath. I kept EVERYTHING in from this interview because Ashlee is so dang knowledgeable, so enjoy an extra long pod today.

In episode 122, Kestrel welcomes Anita Vandyke, the author of A Zero Waste Life: in thirty days, to the show. A rocket scientist, blogger, and current student of medicine, Anita is passionate about inspiring others to be every day activists by making small, individual steps to reduce their waste. "Zero waste living to me means reducing your waste, but also at the same time, it means not wasting away your life - so, not wasting your time, your energy, and finding purpose in your life."  -Anita Vandyke, Author of A Zero Waste Life  In this episode, Anita shares more on her path toward a more zero waste life, how she wasn't always a minimalist, and how she gradually evolved from her past maximalist lifestyle. Additionally, Anita shares some really digestible, accessible tips to help us think about reducing waste while traveling and beyond. For her, there isn't one specific way to work toward a more zero waste lifestyle, which is why she built a tiered system that offers options for you, depending on what's going on in your life at different time periods. For Anita, it's about having grace for yourself throughout the process, and always understanding that life happens.  The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Dr. Sylvia Earle, founder of Mission Blue / The Sylvia Earle Alliance Anita's 3 Steps To Zero Waste Method: 1) Reduced Waste Option 2) Low Waste Option 3) Zero Waste Option "It's also a big reminder when you go into a thrift store that fashion has become almost worthless. So, when you see the sale of a jacket or a dress for $3.99, which is less than a coffee in San Francisco, you have to question yourself: how far have we come that fashion is so worthless?" "I like to use the terminology that we have enough." "You can be passionate about a way of living such as zero waste living, but you don't have to be militant about it." Anita suggests to bring your own Zero Waste Kit with you when you travel, including the below: + napkin, stainless steel straw, reusable coffee cup, reusable drink bottle + cutlery "It's like any muscle, though - if you make a conscious decision, it's a muscle that you work at - mindfulness is a muscle, so if you keep practicing at it, it will get easier."

* SEASON ONE FINALE *  As you probably already realized…this episode is a little different. It’s just me today. I’m gonna try something new. It just so happens that by the time a lot of you listen to this, it’ll also be my 30th birthday. I decided that today, I’d jam about 30 lessons I’ve learned in 30 years. I know. A little headline-y. But hey. I always love reading those lists, and hearing what others have to say about the lessons they’ve learned, so I thought maybe you’d like to, too. And honestly, as I was thinking about it, there is a LOT of overlap in the lessons I learned in season one of the WANTcast. Some of these are a little more trivial than others – like, stuff about smog checks, for example – but when I was in the moment and didn’t know what to do or was thrown off my game, they seemed like really big moments. 30 lessons in 30 years. As full of a list as I could muster up. Here we go!

Piper is also a brand strategist and influencer for some of the world's most ethical and innovative companies. One of the things I love about Ashlee is her versatility and mad smarts. I’m fascinated by Ashlee’s background as a political strategist and creative consultant, and how that has led to her building a name for herself as an “eco-lifestyle expert” over the years. In this episode, we talk Ashlee’s winding career journey that ultimately led her to where she is today, how to pivot both personally and professionally when what you had or who you were no longer serves you, the importance of listening to your intuition and how to discern whether it’s your gut talking or if you’re being triggered, how personal and professional brand can, and maybe even should, be one and the same, and the social media frenzy to keep it hashtag-authentic vs. actually authentic. We also talk about how to push through when you’re afraid of taking chances and asking questions, self-promotion, and how to deal with that nagging question we all get at one point or another: what will people think of me. She gets me a little more chatty than usual when we start talking about intuition, and at one point got me revealing a story about a time that I was trying to convince myself that I was following my intuition, but I really wasn’t – a story that I probably would have been more comfortable just writing about and calling a day (because, I don’t know, it’s less vulnerable than saying it out loud?), but I’m so glad that she turned the tables a little on me, because it opened us up to an even greater conversation around what it really means to be happy. Whether you’re feeling solid in your career, romantic life, and personal life or you’re feeling like you’re on shaky ground somewhere in the mix, I can guarantee this episode will have something for you to take with you into your day and into your life, and make you even 2% more positive and proactive in being the you YOU know you’re meant to be.

For 11 years Ashlee Piper worked as a political strategist for high level politicians and government consulting firms in Chicago. She enjoyed creating strategies for campaigns, but wanted to contribute to a broader purpose, than simply consulting politicians. After carefully creating a game plan to leave her job, she decided to go off on her own and take her interest in animal rights, environmental stewardship, and vegans to try and fulfill that broader purpose she had been dreaming of. She created The Little Foxes, where she writes about vegan food,fashion, beauty and other lifestyle topics. Ashlee has also worked as a creative director for Real Home Chef, as a brand strategist, and a badass eco & vegan lifestyle personality on TV and magazines. Not Your Stereotypical Crazy Hair, Punk Rock Vegan Topics -Her seven month game plan for leaving her career -How it felt, for the first time in her life, not being “traditionally employed” -What made freelancing feel more legitimate to her -The schedule she keeps that works -Goals she wants to accomplish from writing a book, to cleaning her basement -The companies she likes to work with and how she chooses -What it is like to actually be an ethical vegan Vegan Quotes For The Soul: “It was a little bit more premeditated. I had definitely been thinking about it for months. I had planned, saved money and I knew that I was going to potentially be looking for a job or doing my own thing for a little while. So, I had made all of the proper arrangements for that before I ended up leaving my traditional career.” “The biggest hurdle to getting out of a traditional career, and embracing this wild unknown, all of those hurdles are emotional. Like ‘who am I if I don’t have that really distinct elevator pitch when people ask me what I do for a living?’.” “I was financially prepared, and logistically prepared, but I wasn’t emotionally prepared for the feelings and fears of leaving a traditional job and doing your own thing.” “I also recognize that just because you work for yourself, you do have to have a decent amount of down time, or self care, in order to keep going.” “Women are tough on ourselves for variety of things, but it’s about developing strategies to shut that little voice off and to make the voice that says ‘I really appreciate myself, I am working damn hard, I look great,I am a good friend, I am smart’ making that voice louder.” “There is this stigma of Vegans. You think of us as having crazily dyed hair, we are all punk rock, and maybe we are wearing fanny packs, we are all hippies, and super crunchy.. I wasn’t any of that and I have never really been any of that.” “Showing people that you can still very much have a lifestyle that is aligned with your values, and you can still be a professional, trendy, stylish, fun person, that was really of interest of me. I wanted to debunk that stereotype that was out there in the mainstream.” [Connect with Ashlee: Twitter (@TheLilFoxes), Instagram (@ashleepiper) Pinterest (thelilfoxes), Website:thelilfoxes.com] RESOURCES: Vegan friendly products: Pacifica Beauty, Whole Foods Cosmetics, Mrs. Meyers household cleaners, Awaken The Giant Within by Tony Robbins
