034: 9 Things You’re Recycling Wrong

034: 9 Things You’re Recycling Wrong

 

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we identify 9 items that are commonly recycled incorrectly..

Are you an Aspirational Recycler?

You know you’re an Aspirational Recycler if:

– You wish EVERYTHING was recyclable.

– You place nearly every item in the recycling bin, cross your fingers  + hope for the best.

But there are *big* problems with Aspirational Recycling. Nonrecyclable items contaminate the recycling stream + cause clog the facility’s equipment. Aspirational Recycling raises the overall cost of recycling + demands additional manpower, too.

On today’s episode I take you from Aspirational Recycler to Expert by demystifying the recycling process then identifying + correcting 9 common mistakes.

Enjoy!

Labors Of Love

Last year was the hottest year on record, so it's safe to say that Earth Day as we traditionally celebrate isn't working.

On today's show I suggest what I believe is the antidote to the climate crisis (and I'm willing to bet you won't be able to guess what it is!).

 

Here's a preview:

[3:45] The Big 5: We know what we should do environment-wise, so why aren't we doing it?

[7:15] Communal care is anti-capitalist, and that's really darn important

[16:30] Here's what research finds re: the relationship between collectivist culture and pro-environmental behaviors

[24:00] If the problem is disconnection, is the solution as simple as authentic reconnection?

[34:00] It's actually not hard at all to pivot from the conventional, negative feedback loop we find ourselves currently in

 

* A note from Stephanie: No Headlines Friday, and Tuesday's episode will be out next Wednesday!
