Eco Conscious Christianity with Lisa M.

 

Meet Lisa from Adelaide, Australia. Lisa is a long-time podcast listener who believes that eco conscious living is the ultimate expression of her Christian faith. She excels at reducing carbon emissions from transportation (her family only has one vehicle, and it’s an electric car), but she has trouble cutting down on soft plastics.

In our conversation today, Lisa imparts the hopeful truth that one person has the power to change the trajectory of others’ lives.

Here’s a preview of our conversation:

[3:00] The Australian bushfires of 2020: Were they are wake up call, or are they an unfortunate thing of the past?

[14:00] Why Lisa believes that having children is an expression of hope

[15:40] Tangible ways to impart eco conscious values onto our children

[18:45] Practical ways to build up barriers to purchasing (without feeling deprived)

 

I’m so excited for you to meet Lisa!

 

[A note from Stephanie: This is the first 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.]

Eco conscious living helps the planet; its the ultimate expression of religious and spiritual faith, too. Here's why.

  1. Really excited for this series where you talk with some of your listeners! This episode in particular seemed similar to your interview episodes, but you mentioned trying out a more casual approach for this series. I enjoy listening to your interviews, but also looking forward to hearing more casual conservations!

    1. Thank you for this feedback, Celena. I’m over here thinking I’m super casual, but it seems I have work to do! I’ll keep working on it. Thank you!

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:

[7:00] People find it hard to look at waste, and yet the film makes us look. A behind-the-scenes examination all those hard-hitting images

[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

[36:00] Exactly how to Use. Your. Rage!
