Recycling Isn’t Enough: Oversized Eco Friendly Tweaks

Recycling Isn’t Enough: Oversized Eco Friendly Tweaks

Impactful Eco Friendly Changes

 

We’ve all been there: The awkward moment when we realize that, when it comes to eco friendly living, we could be doing more.

On this week’s bonus episode, I speak with Marie Ève Gaudreau Lamarre. Marie Ève walks us through the moment she realized that she wasn’t eco friendly simply because she recycled; soon after, she knew she could – and therefore must – do more.

In our conversation today, Marie Ève makes clear the reality that some of us actually can up our sustainability games, and she walks us through how she did just that.

 

Here’s a preview of this week’s episode:

[5:45] Practical ways to transition from being a meat lover to a vegetarian

[9:00] The thought process (and the logistics) that lead up to a no-buy year

[13:45] The cost savings associated with a no-spend year and why, when you track your spending, it pays to categorize your purchases

[17:45] How to stay motivated during your no-buy year

 

[A note from Stephanie: This is the third episode in a 5-episode series that features podcast listeners just like you. My goal with these bonus episodes is to highlight real people—their real successes, their real challenges—as they seek simpler, more intentional existences.]

Lights Out

Fossil fuels power our modern lives, and yet fossil fuels are also powering global warming. Because many of us lack the self-sufficient skills necessary to survive an extended power outage event, we are one thing and one thing only: vulnerable.

We have become over-reliant on the very thing that's destroying our planet. On today's show: Imagining the ways in which modern life, interpersonal connections, well-being and more would change in a hypothetical, fossil fuel-free world.

 

Here's a preview:

[6:00] We are so reliant on electricity that we are incapacitated without it. This is a problem!

[11:00] In the event of a 2-weeks plus outage, modernity would look a lot different

[24:00] Is minimalism late stage capitalism personified?

[28:00] Without fossil fuels, we'd be circular

[30:00] What research says with regard to the wellness benefits of working with our hands
