020: Zero-Waste Baby Steps

020: Zero-Waste Baby Steps

Zero-waste baby steps for absolutely everyone.

“The term ‘zero-waste’ sounds really daunting, especially for normal people (with) busy lives … but if you take it slow it’s really not that overwhelming.”

To celebrate our 20th episode, I’m thrilled to offer Part One of a Two-Part series on the zero-waste lifestyle!

This week, I present two mini-interviews with women on different stages of their shared journey toward sustainability:

First there’s Julie: A mission trip to Nicaragua contrasted sharply with the throw-away culture of life back home. The experience catapulted Julie toward the zero-waste movement soon after.

Then there’s Laura: On a whim + without first informing her husband, Laura signed her family up for a county-sponsored zero-waste challenge. The county accepted her application and offered guidance + support as they significantly reduced their garbage production by 30 pounds per week.

With Julie + Lara’s help, today’s episode covers So. Much. Ground. We:

– Outline practical, action-oriented first steps,

– Highlight the importance of having Zero-Waste Wishlist, and

– Uncover three hidden, oft-overlooked benefits of the zero-waste lifestyle (some WILL  surprise you!)

I’m delighted to introduce you to Julie Winpisinger + Laura Durenburger!
