Life Lessons

Parenting the eco-minimalist way is, well, difficult. It’s also an 18-ish year commitment that goes directly against societal norms.

I’m no expert, but I do believe that impactful parenting starts by capitalizing on teachable moments. On today’s show I speak with Elizabeth Ireland about *exactly how* she passes 3 central eco-minimalist lessons onto her children.

 

Here’s a preview of the 3 life lessons we discuss today:

[9:30] Teaching children how to give

[20:00] Preparing our progeny for life: The ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind decluttering

[27:00] Imparting elusive skill of not needing to get everything we want

Plastic, Plastic Everywhere

The plastic-drenched, disposable world we live in didn’t happen by accident. It was slowly, methodically built by Big Oil.

They’re doing everything in their power to get people to use as much plastic as possible, all so they can make money from every single molecule they extract from the ground. And right now, they’re pouring billions of dollars into plans to double, or even triple, plastic production by 2050.

This week, award-winning environmental journalist Beth Gardiner joins us to pull back the curtain on who’s behind all this plastic and why. We explore why production is skyrocketing despite consumer pushback, how the myth of recycling keeps us distracted, and why naming the real culprits is the first step toward true systemic change.
