In this episode, I'm joined by Lauren Singer, environmental activist, investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Trash is for Tossers. Lauren created and founded Trash is For Tossers, a resource for reducing your waste daily, Zero Waste inspiration, environmental education, and everyday actions that create a positive impact in 2014. Starting as a personal blog, Lauren documented her personal journey of reducing her waste to zero.Lauren, who started living a Zero Waste 2 years earlier in 2012, first went viral for fitting a year's worth of all of the waste she'd created in one 16oz mason jar. Nicknamed by her community as the “the girl with the trash jar”, Lauren went on to give a Ted Talk that brought the concept of Zero Waste to millions. In 2017, Lauren launched Package Free to create a united space for makers of sustainable products that helped to reduce waste, and to make the world less trashy one sustainable swap at a time. As the editorial arm of Package Free, Trash is for Tossers is a place for readers to be empowered with information and tools to reduce their waste and live in alignment with their environmental values.Lauren is now the managing partner at Overview Capital, a venture fund investing in businesses mitigating methane and other super pollutants at the earliest stages. “I realized all hope is not lost. Yes the climate has been changing, however we haven't been investing in the lever that we need to pull to stop warming now, and that lever is methane. We feel we're just at the beginning of a conversation, of re-focus, of shift into what actually matters in our lifetime which is stopping this methane.”Topics Covered:What inspired her passion for creating large scale environmental impactStarting her blog Trash is for TossersPractical tools on where to start with environmental impactDefining what it means to live a Zero Waste lifeThe motivation to create Package Free ShopStarting a fund to mitigate methane emissions through Overview CapitalWays to reduce methane on an individual and industrial level Guest Info:Lauren's InstagramLauren's Ted TalkTrash is for Tossers WebsiteGet in Touch:Benshen.co WebsiteBenshen MembershipBenshen.co InstagramRate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or on your favorite podcast platform.

After a trail of disappointing jobs, Katie Fletcher made the bold decision to go after her own dreams and stop looking for fulfillment in corporate America. Her dedication to fitness and history as a triathlon athlete strengthened her entrepreneurial spirit, and now, in just a few weeks, she will be opening a low-waste, package-free grocery store called Local Scoop in Encinitas, CA. On today's episode, Katie shares her journey starting Local Scoop, why she only goes on social media for her business, and how her resolution to make the world a better place was a significant catalyst for change. She discovered her passion for food and nutrition at a young age, leading her to study public health and nutrition at Yale University. During two trips studying abroad, Katie fell in love with low-waste grocery shops but couldn't find any similar stores at home. She wondered, why didn't her own country value a sustainable and affordable grocery store system? More people than ever are focused on healthy eating, but an influx of health food products and misleading information makes it difficult to know what exactly you're consuming, where it comes from, and how beneficial it really is for you. Being so focused on nutrition can also take the fun out of eating, and that's one reason Katie wants her store to bring clean, healthy, and delicious food to her community. Tune in for a conversation on health, good food, and why staying off your phone can change your life! Topics discussed in this episode: Why Katie doesn't like using social media in her personal life The purpose of Local Scoop and how it works Products that will be available at Local Scoop How Katie came up with the idea for Local Scoop Obstacles making Local Scoop a reality Entrepreneur and endurance sports Katie's daily routine Gregory and Katie discuss reading and book clubs Katie's education and career in nutrition and health The climate crisis as a motivating factor Advice to people stuck in an unfulfilling job Katie gives her definition of success Tools for finding the next step in your life Technology, especially cell phones, as a distraction Gregory gives his definition of success The Sunday Scaries Sign up for Local Scoop's newsletter here!

The Postal Service hopes to deliver a billion COVID-19 tests to U.S. homes in the coming weeks. Starting today, people can request them at a new federal web site. Tests are supposed to ship within 12 days of ordering. Behind the scenes, USPS is striking a deal with one of its unions to help carry out this work. Federal News Network's Jory Heckman has been following this development and joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin for the latest.

"We decided very early on that we were going to try and get online as fast as possible. That was something that always was in the works. This really was just a good kick in the butt to finally get these systems and processes in place to make that a reality. There's certainly a lot of adaptability that was needed there and things were changing." - Brianne Miller, Co-founder and CEO of Nada In the COVID era of grocery shopping, Nada needed to shift its business model to be innovative with their decisions to continue to serve their community. As a package-free grocery store on a mission to connect people to just food - championing a community food system by linking buyers to suppliers and offering healthy, unpackaged products & services - this posed a challenge in the current world. Vicki Saunders discusses these pivots with Brianne Miller, Co-founder and CEO of Nada in this minisode including: The impact of health and safety regulations on Nada's business model. Shifting to an online model while adapting to constant changes. Embracing opportunity for a different type of growth. The need for a complete company restructure. How online models can have a positive impact on sustainable development goals to reduce the impact on our planet.

Joy Morgan makes a QWTChrises pitstop on her interdimensional road trip journey between Brooklyn and Portland to advocate for radical environmental change. On a personal quest to turn New Jersey's Pinelands National Reserve into a National Monument, Joy discusses setting up cameras to watch snake dens, as The Chrises encourage her to capture the Jersey Devil. With still so much more to learn about public land management, Joy suggests some low cost ways to upgrade urban planning— including permeable sidewalk pavers to replenish its natural aqueducts with rain water. Joy addresses listener questions about the waste produced from plastic vs. reusable water bottles, and how the Guppy Friend prevents microplastic pollution that results from laundering synthetic garments.

Last but not least, Joy encourages everyone to do tiny, little things to make big changes such as buying reusable and compostable products from Package Free Shop, and repurposing grocery vegetable bags to cover and store food.

Our guest today, Lauren Singer has an amazing story to tell, growing three separate projects and businesses out of her desire for discomfort and the need for a better world! Lauren is the brains behind Trash is for Tossers, Simply Co., and Package Free, three different prongs of the same idea; to reduce human waste and to build a healthier environment and brighter future. Lauren shares very honestly about her own journey and really digs deep on what it means to properly stand for a cause. She makes it her mission to get away from the hypocrisy of activism without a foundation of aligned action, and rather than preaching about it, uses her critical eye to keep improving her own practices and those of her business. Lauren believes that a sustainable future is a human right, a vision she has been molding and refining since her early years playing alone in the forest! We chat about her younger years, what it was like moving around a lot, and the different phases she went through during her time at school. We cover her college years and the way she fell in love with environmental science and how that soon aligned with the activist spirit she always seemed to possess. These formative years culminated with her founding the zero waste project, Trash is for Tossers and then subsequently, her business Simply Co., through which she sells items she was already making for herself. The success of these initiatives was a surprise to Lauren and she has not lost sight of her original goal of a world with truly sustainable and good products. For an insightful, honest, and inspiring chat with a great guest, make sure to join us today!Key Points From This Episode:Lauren's favorite childhood activities; playing alone outside in the woods.

As a leader in the zero-waste revolution, Package Free founder, Lauren Singer, shares her commitment to reducing trash and making the sustainable lifestyle accessible and affordable for every consumer.

She produces zero garbage - she sends nothing to landfill, nothing in a trash can, and focuses primarily on recycling and composting. At 28-years-old, she’s the founder of Trash is for Tossers, a community of over 300,000 followers where she documents her Zero Waste lifestyle in New York City. She also has a YouTube channel where she gives sustainable tips and tricks and recipes to make everyday products in the comfort of your own home. After seeing how many people wanted to get involved in zero waste, she started the Package Free, a total zero waste store that sells everything from zero waste home supplies to vibrators to baby toys. Today, the zero waste store says it has diverted over 4 million plastic straws, 3 million plastic bags and 1.5 million single-use bottles and cups from sitting in landfills. The eco-conscious company has now grown to a second location in the Chelsea Market and just secured a $4.5 million seed round with investors like Casper’s founder Neil Parikh and Scooter Braun. In this episode, Lauren and I talk about the harsh stigmas around sustainability, how she’s saving money, eating healthier, and feeling better, and how Package Free is on its way to being the largest distributor of sustainable products in the world.

The climate crisis continues to be just that… a crisis. And it's spurring people across the country (and globe) to take action, particularly when it comes to their own lifestyle. Lauren Singer is one such person. After studying Environmental Science and Politics at NYU, she started a blog called Trash Is For Tossers to make a zero-waste lifestyle more accessible and comprehensible to everyone. But there's still an issue.

Lauren Singer lives in New York City, lives a “normal” life, and creates no trash. Six years ago, Lauren was studying environmental studies at NYU and actively protesting fracking, but realized she wasn’t practicing what she preached. She made the decision to cut plastic out of her life and started making her own products to live a zero waste lifestyle — but it didn’t happen overnight. In 2014, Lauren updated us on how two years of being waste free had already saved her money, changed her diet and improved her overall happiness. Now she has popularized the zero waste movement through her blog, Trash is for Tossers, where she shares the ins-and-outs of a no trash lifestyle. A pioneer in the movement, she opened Package Free, a completely package-free shop, supporting eco-friendly, single-product companies. Among these products, her own, an organic, vegan laundry detergent called The Simply Co. Six years into her journey, we caught up with Lauren on the mbg podcast to get an update on her zero waste lifestyle and how the movement has developed. We discussed how when she began, the concept of living without waste or being a minimalist was unheard of. Now, companies are now reaching out to Package Free to find out how they can eliminate plastic packaging. It can be intimidating to think about committing to a zero-waste lifestyle, and the best place to start she says, “look in your garbage can and see what you’re throwing out.” While it is easy to think our actions can’t make a difference, Lauren believes the opposite. We talked about the lifecycle of waste and how our consumption choices play a significant role in stopping climate change. If you’re interested in making sustainable and impactful changes in your life, Lauren’s experiences, advice, and simple action steps will inspire you to begin.
