020: Zero-Waste Baby Steps
“The term ‘zero-waste’ sounds really daunting, especially for normal people (with) busy lives … but if you take it slow it’s really not that overwhelming.”
To celebrate our 20th episode, I’m thrilled to offer Part One of a Two-Part series on the zero-waste lifestyle!
This week, I present two mini-interviews with women on different stages of their shared journey toward sustainability:
First there’s Julie: A mission trip to Nicaragua contrasted sharply with the throw-away culture of life back home. The experience catapulted Julie toward the zero-waste movement soon after.
Then there’s Laura: On a whim + without first informing her husband, Laura signed her family up for a county-sponsored zero-waste challenge. The county accepted her application and offered guidance + support as they significantly reduced their garbage production by 30 pounds per week.
With Julie + Lara’s help, today’s episode covers So. Much. Ground. We:
– Outline practical, action-oriented first steps,
– Highlight the importance of having Zero-Waste Wishlist, and
– Uncover three hidden, oft-overlooked benefits of the zero-waste lifestyle (some WILL surprise you!)
I’m delighted to introduce you to Julie Winpisinger + Laura Durenburger!

What was Laura her website? I’m interested to read her blog too!
Hi Valerie,
Laura is over at The Mindful Mom Blographer.
Julie is (unfortunately!) blog-less, although she does post some great zero-waste ideas on Instagram.
Hope this helps!
