Podcasts about going zero waste

This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we're releasing a very special episode in acknowledgment of the annual Buy Nothing Day movement with the author, influencer, and Founder of Going Zero Waste, Kathryn Kellogg. Listen in as Kathryn and Thomas discuss what it truly means to be zero-waste, the problem with mass consumerism and its negative effects on environmental and mental health, and the importance and impact of the ever-growing Buy Nothing Day movement. Stay tuned next week for part two of this series where we are joined by another esteemed leader within the zero-waste lifestyle movement! As always, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure and are honored to have you tag along with us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you! Your questions, ideas, and who you want to hear from are invaluable to our podcast. Please send us an email at podcast@mountainroseherbs.com to let us know what solutions we should uncover next within the vast world of herbalism.  What is Buy Nothing Day you ask? Well, please allow us to explain!  Buy Nothing Day is our annually celebrated tradition in protest of Black Friday. In making this stand, we are joining tens of thousands of people across 65 nations for an international day of protest against mass consumerism and the throw-away culture that accompanies it. The Buy Nothing Movement has been growing since 1992 as overconsumption continues to consume our precious natural resources faster than we can replace them, putting our planet in real jeopardy. If you visit our website today, you will see that our entire website is blacked out in protest of Black Friday. Instead, we hope you will spend the day with your family and friends, sharing acts of kindness, discovering new zero-waste lifestyle tips from the Going Zero Waste Blog, listening to your favorite podcast (bonus points if it's this one!), or better yet, all of the above! This is a day to reach for meaning in our lives instead of stuff, and we thank you all for being part of the solution to reestablish a symbiotic relationship with the planet we call home. So please, do not shop with us today Friday, November 29th, 2024. Learn more about Kathryn and Going Zero Waste below!

On today's episode we are joined by Kennedy Hammond, the owner of Love of Earth Co. and an inspiring advocate for sustainable living and zero-waste practices. We explore what it means to live a zero-waste life and why it is crucial for the health of our planet. Kennedy explains that zero waste extends beyond recycling and emphasizes the importance of reducing waste at its source. She highlights the global waste problem, shedding light on the significant role that the United States plays in contributing to this issue.Transitioning to a zero-waste lifestyle may seem daunting to many, but Kennedy shares practical steps and insightful advice to help listeners get started on their own sustainability  journey. We discuss everyday product swaps and zero-waste alternatives, dispelling the misconception that sustainable living is expensive or out of reach for the average person. Kennedy empowers listeners with the understanding that even small changes can have a substantial impact on waste reduction and that sustainability can actually lead to long-term financial benefits.More About Kennedy:After traveling the world & ending up in a few 3rd world countries, Kennedy quickly realized how our trash over here in America, effects other countries all around the world! Most of the time, in the worst of ways. So she made it a point when she returned to not only lower her waste as much as possible but give Americans every resource possible to do that for themselves as well! Connect with Kennedy!Instagram: @loveofearthcoTikTok: @loveofearthcoWebsite: loveofearthco.com/Zero-Waste Groceries and Refill Stations near you: www.litterless.com/Connect with Brianna!Instagram: @mombossinaustinLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/briannademikeFollow the Podcast on Instagram: @badassbasicbitchLove the podcast?

There isn't a magic formula to go zero waste, it's all about being creative and shopping wisely. That said, there are some cool ideas you could try! As a consumer, you just have to pay attention to the things you buy and throw away. Although some people think that having a zero waste lifestyle is expensive, it can save you money in the long run! Additionally, it isn't a difficult habit. If you don't know how to start, below you will find 20 easy ideas to become a conscious consumer and achieve your zero waste goals! 20 Ideas to become a conscious consumers 1. Replace Disposable Items with Reusable Options Take a look at the disposable items you usually waste and start replacing them with reusable and durable alternatives. But more importantly, try to avoid single-use plastics like straws, bags, cups, and bottles at all costs. For example, instead of buying several plastic water bottles each week, invest in a reusable bottle that will last for years! You can also replace other disposable items, like plastic food bags for zero waste packed lunch boxes, batteries, cotton pads, and more. 2. Prefer Compostable Alternatives There are some disposable items you can't avoid. For example, you will need to discard your toothbrush after a few months of use, whether it's a plastic one or not. For those products, a better idea is to choose compostable materials. You can use bamboo toothbrushes, biodegradable sponges, bamboo plasters, and many other products to compost at home. 3. Give Second-hand Stores a Try Do you need to buy something? You probably don't need it to be completely new. Buying second-hand products is a great idea to reuse useful items that otherwise would end up as waste. Besides, you can find unique things! 4. Prepare a Zero Waste Kit One of the most common mistakes of zero waste consumers is forgetting their reusable products at home when going out. A great idea to prevent this is to carry a zero waste kit with you every time you go out. You can include items that will help you avoid waste on the go, like a travel mug, reusable cutlery, a bamboo straw, and others! 5. Go Paperless Another good zero waste idea is to reduce the amount of paper you usually discard. You can refuse to accept promotional brochures, ask for no receipts when possible, replace tissues with handkerchieves, use cloth napkins, and so on! 6. Repair Damaged Items When something breaks or is in bad condition, most people would buy a new item to replace it. But a better zero waste option would be trying to repair it first. If you can't repair something on your own, find someone who can help you. For example, tailors, cobblers, carpenters, and others! 7. Donate Things You Won't Use Any More If you have items that you won't use any more and they're in good condition, donate them instead of sending them to landfills. Remember that other people might find them useful. With this idea, you will support a market where nothing is wasted! 8. Buy Local Products Keep in mind that goods transported over large distances require more energy and packaging than local products. As a zero waste consumer, you should give locally made goods a try to reduce waste and support local businesses! 9. Prefer Loose Veggies and Fruits Food packaging is the most problematic waste to avoid. An easy idea to start cutting down on food packaging is choosing loose veggies and fruits instead of buying them wrapped in plastic. 10. Give Ugly Fruits and Veggies a Chance If you want to fight food waste, you could start buying some “ugly” fruits and vegetables. Think about how many people avoid them just because they don't look perfect. If nobody buys them, they will end up as waste! 11. Store Your Food Properly to Prevent Food Waste Once you get home from food shopping, make sure to store your food properly to avoid spoilage! Separate foods that promote ripening, like bananas and tomatoes, from sensitive foods like apples and leafy greens! 12 When Buying Online, Ask for Plastic-free Packagin...

In this episode we interview Brian Bell of Keep Virginia Cozy, a nonprofit that conserves lands by picking up trash, while connecting others with the outdoors. Brian grew up loving nature and quickly picked up the 'pack in, pack out' mindset. Once he moved to Richmond he began exploring all it had to offer, but wanted to do something more. After challenging his friends to go on weekend hiking trips to pick up trash, he posted it online and asked others to meetup to do the same. To Brian's surprise, quite the group showed up, and it only grew from there. Now as an official nonprofit, Keep Virginia Cozy has helped cleanup over 85,000lbs of trash, while being zero waste themselves. If you've ever wondered how to rally people around a simple cause, then this ones for you!

The intelligent and ever-resourceful Brian Seguin returns to conclude our discussion on who and what is included in a community. How do you feel belonging in your community? Do you feel at home where you are? Who or what makes you feel at home; and how do those distinctions affect your perspective on who or what a community is composed of? Satish Kumar says, "We have to shift our attitude of ownership of nature to relationship with nature. The moment you change from ownership to relationship, you create a sense of the sacred." The same connections apply with our local coexisting human beings.

Kathryn Kellogg's career began on the stage. As a child she shares, she knew she wanted to be an actress. She loved storytelling, performing, singing, it was just a part of who she was. Today, although she's no longer performing full-time on the stage, her passion for storytelling and creativity are still at the forefront of everything she does. But, these days rather than performing Shakespeare, Kathryn uses her talents and passions in her work as an environmentalist and zero-waste activist. Kathryn is the founder of Going Zero-Waste, a lifestyle website dedicated to helping others live a healthier and more sustainable life. She's also a spokesperson for plastic-free living for National Geographic, the Chief Sustainability Officer at the One Movement, and author of the book 101 Ways to Go Zero Waste. She is a creative and inspiring voice in the zero-waste living movement who has not only influenced my life but countless others as well. I  am so excited and honored to share her story, mission, and work with you today. More importantly, I know you're going to walk away from this conversation feeling uplifted, inspired, and ready to make simple guilt-free zero-waste changes in your own life as well.  In this episode we explore: Kathryn's journey from acting to becoming an environmentalist How living an eco-friendly lifestyle benefits both the planet and our health Defining “zero-waste” + debunking zero-waste lifestyle myths The importance of reframing our mindset and attitude around zero-waste living + why striving for perfection isn't necessary Simple and practical zero-waste living tips from pet care to menstrual hygiene, and more!

When I scroll through my Pinterest home feed, zero waste is a common word that comes up among eco-friendly bloggers. I always wanted to try it, but producing no waste seemed so hard! I was really intimidated by the challenge and felt like I needed help. So when Alexa Smith, author of An Economic Eclipse, reached out to me to talk all about zero waste, I was definitely on board. In this episode, I interview Alexa Smith all about what it means to be zero waste – and it's not as intense as you think it is. She breaks it down for you in easy to understand terms and like me, she believes progress is better than perfection. Alexa is only 20 years old and already wrote a book on the subject! If you ever feel depressed about environmental and climate issues, turn to people like Alexa. Young people like her inspire me to keep going and show me that so many of us really do care. Specifically, we talk about:What is zero wasteWhy Alexa decided to go zero wasteHow you can get started going zero waste:The biggest thing you can doThe easiest thing to doWhat is a circular economy How Alexa was inspired to and wrote a book (and in only 9 months too!) What corporations are doing to tackle the waste problemand MORE!Alexa inspired me to try zero waste at the more extreme level.

According to the USDA, it's been estimated that we waste about 40% of our national food supply every year, which equals out to about 133 billion pounds of food. You may be thinking, so what if some of my food goes to waste? I eat most of it! But it can have some serious environmental impacts. Joining us today is Kathryn Kellogg, founder of lifestyle website Going Zero Waste, to discuss how we can be more eco-friendly in our food consumption.  Turning the Tide on Ocean Loss (0:14:10)One place has recently become home to over five trillion pieces of plastic, but it's not a recycling plant, or even a landfill. It's the ocean. Our oceans hold some of our most valuable resources, and yet, each year they get a little closer to destruction due to pollution, overfishing, and the extinction of marine life. It's hard to feel like you're able to make a difference when you're just one person and the ocean is thousands of miles wide and thousands of feet deep. So we invited Cristina Mittermeier, a conservation photographer, often featured on National Geographic, and one of the founders of SeaLegacy. She joins us to share her insights into how we can help save our oceans.  Fighting for Forests (0:26:19)The rate of deforestation is shocking—we're losing approximately 27 soccer fields of forest per minute, which adds up to 18.7 MILLION acres of forested land lost each year. I feel like the importance of our planet's forests is something we all kinda get, but it's a hard concept for me to fully wrap my brain around. This is an important discussion for us to have, because if we don't truly understand a problem that's this big, why would we feel motivated to help? To help, we've invited Kerry Cesareo onto the show to answer our questions today. Kerry is the Senior Vice President of the World Wildlife Fund's Forest department .  The Science of Climate Change (0:34:57)Whenever you hear someone talk about “Climate Change” you might wonder if it's actually as dire as they say. You've heard people argue both sides on YouTube and the news. You've heard multiple opinions about how severe the problem is. And you've always heard people reference “scientific experts”, but who are these so-called climate experts and what do they really have to say about all of this? Well, allow us to introduce you to one. Dr. Michael Mann is a distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science at Penn State and the author of several books on climate change. His work has been a vital part in proving the severity of the earth's rising temperature to people and politicians since 2001.  Enjoying the Environment (0:44:33)We all care about climate change in different degrees. Maybe you're doing everything you can to help preserve our planet but are struggling to get your friends on board. Or maybe you love the earth but have never felt motivated to get off the sideline and actually make changes. So, if the science and facts we read about aren't enough to change anyone's behavior towards the environment, what will? Maybe the key is to spend more time in the nature we are trying to save. Joining us today is Michael Brune, the executive director for the Sierra Club . The Sierra Club is the most influential grassroots, environmental organization in the United States, and they motivate people to get outside and enjoy the benefits of nature.  Helping Animal Shelters (0:50:38)While our pets are enjoying the extra attention from everyone being home so often right now, there are many pets that don't have a home that are requiring some extra attention. Many animal shelters have had to close their doors right now, but that doesn't mean that the animals they're housing have stopped needing help. So, what can we do to help out our furry friends? Here to share some of her tips with us, is Holly Sizemore, Chief Mission Officer of the Best Friends Animal Society.  Finances in Marriage (1:09:26)One of the top stressors that contributes to divorce today is finances. Dealing with debt and other financial difficulties puts a strain on marriages and leads to a lot of blaming rather than problem-solving. With this looming fact in the air, we wanted go get some expert advice on what couples can do better when handling money so they can eliminate stress and keep their marriages together. Our next guest, Rachel Cruze, is a #1 New York Times best-selling author and host of The Rachel Cruze Show where she helps people learn the proper ways to handle money and stay out of debt. She joins us today to talk about how we can improve our finances for the sake of our marriages.  Home Before Dark (1:28:37)As we continue to be encouraged to social distance, it feels like we are in constant need of new shows to binge. Finding appropriate and uplifting programs that the whole family can sit down and enjoy together can be challenging. Luckily, Apple TV+ just released a family-friendly mystery thriller called “ Home Before Dark ” that we can stream now. Here to tell us all about this new show is Brooklyn Prince and Jim Sturgess. You can see 9-year-oldBrooklyn as Hilde and Jim as her father in the series.

If you've been to Vietnam, you'll know that they use single use plastic for almost everything, it's no easy task but as she shared with us "Doing something is better than doing nothing".  On this episode, we talk about -1)  How did she and her husband come up with the idea of Zero Waste Saigon?2) How was the response of the local community when they started this initiative?

According to the EPA, the average American produces around 6 pounds of trash each day, with only 1 and a half pounds of that trash ending up in the recycling bin. The problem is clear: we need to be less trashy. One solution is to go zero waste… but exactly does zero waste mean? Kathryn Kellogg, today’s guest, actually details over a hundred ways you can get started producing less trash in her book, 101 Ways to Go Zero Waste, which she published last year. Through her blog and Instagram accounts, Kathryn’s Going Zero Waste movement inspires thousands every day to care for the planet by consuming less and being smart about the trash we generate.

Food writer Corby Kummer spoke with Boston Public Radio *on Tuesday about a zero waste Brooklyn restaurant that could change other restaurateurs' relationship with food waste. "This restaurant called Rhodora is trying to figure out how never to have to give anything to the dump that could have been recycled or composted," Kummer said. 'It's not easy to do, but I do think it's going to be a selling point." Zero waste restaurants may start to gain popularity among environmentally conscious consumers, Kummer noted. "I do think that young people are going to choose this and look at this as a reason to eat in the restaurant," he said. "Rhodora is just starting, and [going zero waste] is expensive and complicated, but they've got to blaze the trail." *Kummer is a *senior editor at The Atlantic*, an award-winning food writer, and a senior lecturer at the Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition and Policy.

Living in an economic and sustainable way is not new in China. Actually, most of our parents and grandparents are still enjoying this kind of lifestyle. They use the same basin of water to wash vegetables, and then to water the plants. They take all their leftover food from the restaurant home. They wear the same clothes for years. They don’t waste anything. However, the younger Chinese generation is totally brainwashed by consumerism and lured by the convenience of easy access to food and services. They buy piles of useless stuff during Single’s Day sales and rely on food delivery services for their three meals a day which generates a huge amount of plastic packaging. The earth cannot bear the burden of a big country like China consuming and generating waste at the speed in which we do today. Are we doomed? Carrie Yu, the co-founder of The Bulk House, has a solution: living a zero waste life. Carrie dropped out of high school at the age of 16 and came to Beijing by herself. When she was then kicked out of her rental house, it made her rethink her whole lifestyle. Buying lots of cheap stuff and generating a lot of waste didn’t make her happy, so she changed. She is now not only living a zero waste life in Beijing, but she has also started her own company to promote a sustainable lifestyle. Today, she shares her life experience with us.

Can you imagine living a life where you produce zero waste? ZERO things thrown in the garbage, ZERO food left on your plate, ZERO new items purchased. Sounds extreme, right? Extremely important, that is! In this episode, Elizabeth is informing us on the problems with waste and how we can start reducing it in our lives! You're never going to think about what you're tossing in the bin in the same way after this conversation! To view the full show notes, continue reading here or visit my website: www.heartfelthippie.com Elizabeth Teo is a Seattle-transplant living in Canada who studies environmental science in school. Someday she dreams of working in environmental policy, but for now she uses her platform on social media to inform others on a zero waste lifestyle. To start this episode off, Elizabeth first educates me on the three main types of waste: food waste, fashion waste, and garbage. We talk about just how much waste there is in the world (like the fact that 25 BILLION coffee cups are thrown away every year!) and why this waste is so concerning. Spoiler alert: all of our waste is ending up in our oceans, depositing micro-plastics in our marine life, and filling up landfills and emitting greenhouse gases. Yikes! BUT, don't fret - as is usually the case with these types of conversations, we hold the power to make a difference! And in fact, the planet needs us to. We are running out of time, people! Elizabeth educates us on what is means to truly go “zero waste.” Another spoiler alert: nobody is 100% zero waste. This movement is not about perfection, but it's about making progress together to reduce our footprint by reducing our wastefulness. She shares tons of simple (and I mean simple) tips about swaps we can make and hacks we can try to cut out waste from our lives. The best tip of all, in my opinion, is to start following folks on social media like Elizabeth who have allllll the zero waste advice to share! You will be amazed at all the things that are winding up in your garbage bin that really don't need to be there, and also how many easy tricks there are to cut back! So here's the challenge: think twice as you toss things in the trash. How can you cut back? President Obama said it best: “We are the first generation to feel the effect of climate change and the last generation who can do something about it.” Let's tackle this problem together!

Hey, it's Callee and this is a special episode of the Hippie Haven Podcast! If this is your first time listening here, I release a new episode every Wednesday, where I interview experts + everyday people about living an ethical + eco-friendly lifestyle. Our top 3 most-listened-to episodes are #10 - How To Go Zero Waste with Kathryn Kellogg of GoingZeroWaste.com, #21 - Secondhand Shopping with Alyssa of Live Planted, and #16 - 12 Steps for a Waste-Free Life in 1 Year with Polly Barks of GreenIndyBlog.com. If you haven't listened to those yet, I highly recommend that you add them to your playlist, as they've got tons of great zero waste tips! Now, I've been wanting to start doing special bonus episodes as well, a bit shorter + more personal than our usual Wednesday interviews, and also unedited, so please forgive me if I mess up here or there. Some big stuff happened in the sustainability field this week that seemed like a great topic to cover in my first bonus episode! Since you're listening to my podcast, I assume you're into the zero waste movement, which means you've very likely heard the recent news about the launch of Loop. Loop is a program with the mission of eliminating the idea of waste by creating returnable, refillable packaging for common consumer items, like Coca-Cola soda, Pampers diapers, Axe Deodorant, Haagen Daaz ice cream, and dozens of other popular products. But if you've heard about Loop, you've probably also heard people talking about if it's really as good as it's being made out to be.

I interviewed Bea Johnson for the first time four years ago. At that time zero waste was beginning to grow. Today it is not only for the *fanatics* who like? to chill, it is becoming a well known and even more importantly - integratable life style. In our family we are still not close to zero Waste. But we have made many changes and are working our way there slowly. As you will hear Bea talk about the 5 R's, I know where I still feel challenged - the refuse one. We don't buy a lot. But we say yes to way too much stuff we don't need. I feel fueled and filled again with inspiration after speaking to her. And even though you may not feel called to go *all the way*, I guarantee you will be called to make a few changes in your home. If we all did just a fraction of what she is doing, I can hardly imagine how it could shift things around. For more info go to www.zerowastehome.com 

Our guest today is a professional actor, the founder of the leading zero waste living blog, Going Zero Waste.com. She is also a spoke person for National Geographic’s Planet or Plastic campaign. Crazy birds, without any further ado, I would like to welcome, Kathryn Kellogg. Episode Highlights[00:19] How did your sustainable journey start? [03:00] When we talk about living a zero waste lifestyle, what exactly does that mean? [03:03] The simple definition is to send nothing to landfill, but the more complex definition, the one that I really like is to completely wright waste out of existence. [03:32] The goal with a zero waste lifestyle is to recycle less and not to recycle more. [04:08] How Kathryn’s GoingZeroWaste.Com blog start. [04:40] Halloween treats (https://www.goingzerowaste.com/blog/eco-friendly-halloween-treats-for-trick-or-treaters?rq=halloween) [05:24] Love a Lonely Banana: A Song About Food Waste. [08:29] I recommend to people to start with the big 4 and they are, say no to straws, bring your own reusable bags to the grocery store. Produce bags too and then to bring a full reusable water bottle with you whenever you go out and then the last one is to say no to coffee cups. [09:58] Planet or Plastic (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/planetorplastic/) [11:43] The photographer Randy Olsen (https://www.instagram.com/randyolson/?hl=en) was actually on this assignment for two years. [13:41] Release of Kathryn’s new book 101 Ways to go Zero Waste (https://www.amazon.com/101-Ways-Go-Zero-Waste/dp/1682683311/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539321616&sr=8-1&keywords=kathryn+kellogg) . [15:41] What has been one of your most important decisions that you have made around mama earth? I feel like every decision that we make is very important and I think that some of the traps that people fall into are feeling like one person and that the small things don’t make a difference but really the small things, when they are done over a really really long period of time, are some of the most impactful things that you can do. Final Five1.What is one social media account that you follow?   (https://www.instagram.com/thegirlgonegreen/?hl=en) (https://www.instagram.com/snapshotsofsimplicity/?hl=en) (https://www.instagram.com/litterless/?hl=en) 2.What is your hope for mama earth going forward?  I just really, really hope that people will learn to see that connection.  3.What advise can you give our crazy birds this week to help out mama earth?  Really start to ask yourself questions. I always say, embrace your inner three-year-old.  4.What is one sustainability fact that you like to use in a room with people not yet on a sustainability journey?  [20:15] The water footprint for all the items we use is just crazy. It takes 3 litres of water to make one litre of bottled water. It takes 37 gallons of water to make a roll of toilet paper. It takes 8 gallons of water to make a paper plate  5.Where can people find you?   (https://www.facebook.com/goingzerowaste/) (https://www.instagram.com/going.zero.waste/) (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM_g2f3EWOV-OEhG7cG_Lew) (https://www.goingzerowaste.com/) (https://twitter.com/goingzerowaste) Key Take Away“ Really start to ask yourself questions. I always say, embrace your inner three-year-old. “ Question everything! Find out where your clothing is made, what is the process, where is the fabric from, who is the farmer that grows your food? It is only when we start questioning items in our life that we realise that not everything presented as good is always good and that you need to be able to make those conclusions for yourself based on real facts rather than marketing campaigns influencing our decisions without doing our research to confirm.  

How much trash do you generate in a year? Today's guest heretic, Kathryn Kellogg, will teach us a thing or two about the simple steps we can take to minimize the impact of our actions on soil and waterways. We'll compare long and short term costs of our decisions and take the romance out of minimalist living, while keeping the extra cash we save in our pockets.

Every Wednesday on the Hippie Haven podcast, learn how to live harmoniously with yourself, others & the planet. 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. Callee chats with Kathryn Kellog, the popular blogger behind GoingZeroWaste.com. Kathryn is a professional actor turned eco-activist. After a breast cancer scare led her to cutting plastic out of her life, she discovered the zero waste movement, and started her blog in 2015 about her journey to fit all of her trash in a 16 oz mason jar. She quickly became one of the most well-known names in the zero waste community, and has been featured on CNN, The Guardian, MSNBC + National Geographic, just to name a few. She now spends most of her time educating the public on the dangers of trash, plastic pollution, and food waste with small, actionable tips we can all implement to make the world a little greener. Her new book, 101 Ways To Go Zero Waste, will be released in April 2019 and is available for preorder now. 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.

Today we are going to have a look at a few people that I find very inspiring. When I first started with my sustainable journey, I found it very intimidating. There were so many things that I was learning and at times the more I learned, the more frustrated I got. There was a lot that I did not know and wondered about. I would look at the plastic packaging and wonder if it can be recycled, how do I recycle it, do I need to wash it before it goes into the recycle bin? How bad is the plastic for my health? I would hear about ethical clothing and start researching ethical clothing stores near me and then realise I do not even know what ethical clothing was. After reading the ingredients of our current cleaning materials and looking into what they are and the effects they have on us as well as the environment I was shocked. I found a few easy recipes for making my cleaning materials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWpx3cvHdI0&t=11s)  and man was I proud of myself when I mixed my first kitchen cleaner, and it smelled amazing and worked very well. There were times that it seemed easy and then other times where I thought I had to transform our entire house into a minimalistic, plastic-free eco-friendly haven overnight. If you are listening to this and you too feel overwhelmed, not sure how or where to start or continue your journey, hang on there, there is hope. Firstly you do not have to start by doing everything at ones. This might be very hard and might discourage you to continue with the journey. Episode Highlights[02:47] I also realise that I do not have to do everything overnight or on my own, but rather to embrace this as a journey and take it step by step. [03:13] Rob Greenfield (http://robgreenfield.tv/) . Rob is an adventurer, environmental activist, humanitarian and a dude making a difference. He leads by example to create a more sustainable world. [03:47] He cycled across the US twice on his bamboo bicycle spreading his sustainable message across the US and have recently launched a book, Dude Making a Difference. 04: 00Rob also wore his trash for 30 days in New York, and he was the inspiration behind Marita Peters and me starting our WasteMeNot campaign in the UAE with his wonderful support. He is for sure a dude making a difference for Mama Earth. [04:18] Bea Johnson (https://zerowastehome.com/) , Bea is the woman behind Zero Waste Home a blog that turned into a best selling book. She and her family adopted a Zero Waste lifestyle in 2008, which changed their life for the better as they now lead more meaningful lives based on experiences instead of stuff. [04:42] One of the guidelines that she proposes is for people to follow 5’R Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rot and only in that order. [05:18] She owns to only 15 items, and from these 15 items, she can create 50 different looks. [05:52] Going Zero Waste’s Kathryn Kellogg (https://www.goingzerowaste.com/) . Kathryn’s zero waste journey started when doctors discovered tumours in her breast after suffering from a lot of pain. Thankfully, everything was benign, but they did not recommend removing it as there was a good chance that it would grow back, so she had to live with the pain. [06:22] After moving to California, she was shocked at the amount of plastic in her area and realised that it is not only bad for her health but also the health of our planet. [06:46] She believes that small actions done by hundreds of thousands of people will change the world. You don’t have to be perfect to make a difference, you just have to try. [07:04] If you have any sustainability questions please do hesitate to let me know and I will try my best to help wherever I can. You can either send me a message on my Instagram @designbymariska, email me at hello@mamaearthtalk.com or fill out the contact form on our website mamaearthtalk.com. [07:26] My final tip for today is to do what you can and

Happy Halloween everyone! I thought we could start the show today in Planet Money style with two numbers, 4.4 and zero. I’ll give you a second to guess their significance. Alright, ready?    If you said that 4.4 is the average number of pounds that we Americans produce as waste on a daily basis, you’d be correct. Kinda scary isn’t it?    As for zero, that’s the average amount of waste that Kathryn Kellogg (@goingzerowaste) produces annually!   Kathryn is part of something called the Zero Waste Movement. It’s something that, frankly, I didn’t know was possible until very recently.    I was curious to talk with Kathryn about how she’s able to live without producing trash. Does it mean living in a hut somewhere and growing all your own food? It turns out that’s not the case.    Kathryn was able to break it down in a way that I found to be really accessible and applicable. It got me thinking differently about the things that I purchase and consume and I’ve even made some changes, (composting is the big one), that I’m really enjoying.    This conversation really shifted what I thought was possible and left me feeling more empowered as an individual. I hope you enjoy it and if you decide to make any changes of you’re own, I’d love to hear about them!    Let me know on twitter @lifedonediffrnt.
