038: What’s for Dinner?

038: What’s for Dinner?

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we discuss the Why + How of meal planning so as to reduce food waste, save money + gain back precious time.

“So, what’s for dinner?”

I *hate* this question; maybe you do, too.Another thing I hate? Food waste. I find myself composting past-its-prime produce more often than I’d like to admit.

While these dueling conundrums may seem mutually exclusive, they actually have an easy, common solution.

That easy solution is meal planning.

This week’s guest – Staci Ducharme – started meal planning + failed. Miserably.

But she tried again + got it right:

* Meal planning got her family out of debt (no more defaulting to take-out!).

* Meal planning ended food waste on her homestead for good, too.

Staci’s a full-time blogger, homesteader + meal planning connoisseur. She’s here to make passionate planners out of all of us by divulging the best tips + tricks others DON’T mention.

Enjoy!

The Shopping Conspiracy

Women have been targeted for decades with the message that shopping is recreation. It’s a way to relax and unwind, sure, but recreational shopping also contributes to the climate crisis, supports the worst of shareholder capitalism, and creates an awful lot of unnecessary waste.

Enter Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, a hard-hitting new Netflix documentary that forces viewers to look at our waste-related woes. On today’s show producer Flora Bagenal offers a behind-the-scenes look at the documentary’s creation; she also answers your pressing, post-viewing questions.

A note from Stephanie: This episode was recorded before the Los Angeles wildfires. If you're able, please consider donating to one of these organizations. 

 

Here’s a preview:

[16:30] Adidas, Amazon, Unilever, and Apple: Here's why the film featured former employees-turned-whistleblowers

[26:00] Corporate execs must show growth, and corporations are on a treadmill of extracting more and more $$ by pushing unnecessary and redundant products. Is not buying an effective act of resistance?

[30:00] Mindset shifts! Quality is a climate issue, and once you press ‘Buy Now’ you become responsible for the item’s end of life
