067: 10 Handbag Essentials for On-the-Go Sustainability

Plastic forks. Napkins. Do you inadvertently produce excess trash when out-and-about? Here are 10 essential handbag items for on-the-go sustainability.

 

So you’ve slashed into the trash your household produces. (That’s great!)

But what about when you’re out + about? Are you conscious of garbage when you’re on-the-go?

The truth is this: Strategic handbags go a *long way* toward low-waste or zero-waste living. It’s easier than it sounds, too: I carry everything I need for eating out, doing errands + stopping anywhere spontaneous in my medium-sized shoulder bag.

On today’s episode I divulge the ten items I keep with me at all times to ensure that I adhere to zero-waste living while on-the-go.

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
