Vital Simplicity

Vital Simplicity

“From the cradle to the grave … the [wo]man of modern times struggles through a maze of endless complication.”

Although Charles Wagner penned these words over 125 years ago, they are more true today than ever before. On today’s show author Suzanne Johnson modernizes Wagner’s tenets of simple living for twenty-first century existence.

 

Here’s a preview of the Wagner-isms we are revisiting today:

[7:30] We suffer the consequences of a too artificial life

[11:30] The more goods a woman has, the more she wants

[18:00] Pleasure cannot be bought or sold

[24:00] Obscurity is not a sign of disgrace

[30:00] The realm of silence is vaster than the realm of noise

[41:00] Simplicity is a state of mind

Plastic Free July

What started in 2011 with just one woman and a small local government has exploded into a worldwide movement of over 174 million people. That movement is Plastic Free July.

Yet 15 years after the challenge’s inception, plastic production continues to exponentially grow. It’s all-too easy to dismiss the challenge as little more than an opportunity to post a picture of a bamboo toothbrush on social media.

But we aren’t just facing a litter problem anymore; we’re facing climate and health crises. A July that’s free of plastic is about building permanent habits, changing your relationship with “stuff,” and sending a clear message to corporations that you don’t want all this plastic junk.

On today’s show, challenge leader Emily Emond joins us to share her top tips for cutting through the overwhelm and setting yourself up for success during Plastic Free July.

 

Here's a preview:

[6:15] Is Plastic-Free July beneficial, or purely performative?

[9:00] On why using less plastic is supports your family’s health

[13:30] Set yourself up for success: Five things you can do right now

[23:00] Nothing changes if nothing changes!
