How To Lead A Radical Footprint Life

How To Lead A Radical Footprint Life

We tend to frame intentional, eco-friendly living in terms of reduction: Create less trash. Lower that carbon footprint. Tread lighter on our shared planet. But a reduction-centered mindset assumes that we can only be less bad; there’s nothing to be said about forcing tangible good.

What if we reframed the conversation to one that assumes we can leave the planet BETTER than we found it?

Can we give more than we take and, if so, how?

Today I’m speaking with Beth Craig. Beth believes each of us can make a legitimate difference and so she’s on the show to outline her 5-step process to leaving a radical footprint; she also offers important reminders about the usefulness of giving  as we head into the holiday season.

 

Here’s a preview:

[5:00] Step 1: Asking the difficult questions and getting clear on the life you actually want to live

[11:00] Step 2: How to unplug from advertising for consumer empowerment

[14:00] Step 3: Minimizing your carbon footprint as much as possible (without sacrificing your quality of life)

[16:00] Step 4: How to make the world better than you found it by giving

[17:15] Step 5: Why you should diligently track your efforts and adjust for greater benefit

Sneak Peek: Influencers Aren't Friends

Influencer marketing is a case study in how easy it is to sell things to followers who trust their favorite online personalities. But offering that elusive 'personal recommendation' for EVERYthing has normalized both inauthentic endorsing and impulse shopping.
