067: 10 Handbag Essentials for On-the-Go Sustainability

Plastic forks. Napkins. Do you inadvertently produce excess trash when out-and-about? Here are 10 essential handbag items for on-the-go sustainability.

 

So you’ve slashed into the trash your household produces. (That’s great!)

But what about when you’re out + about? Are you conscious of garbage when you’re on-the-go?

The truth is this: Strategic handbags go a *long way* toward low-waste or zero-waste living. It’s easier than it sounds, too: I carry everything I need for eating out, doing errands + stopping anywhere spontaneous in my medium-sized shoulder bag.

On today’s episode I divulge the ten items I keep with me at all times to ensure that I adhere to zero-waste living while on-the-go.

Greenwashing 2.0

Many corporations are hopping on the sustainability bandwagon these days, but it's not for altruistic reasons. It's likely due to the green premium: because eco-friendly products cost more, business owners see an opportunity for increased revenue. 

The result? Greenwashed products abound (And guess what? You're likely paying *extra* for a product that isn't at all eco-conscious!). 

On today's show Aidan Riehl offers advanced tips for avoiding greenwashing in today's ever-changing market. 

 

Here's a preview:

[6:30] Some questions to ask: Is this eco-friendly product owned by a conglomerate? Is this one product the *only* eco-conscious product in their product line?

[9:30] Getting to the bottom of "biodegradable" claims once and for all

[16:30] Should we look for pre-consumer or post-consumer recycled plastics?

[19:00] Laundry sheets and dishwasher pods! Is polyvinyl alcohol actually benign?

[22:00] So many pledges, so little action

[25:00] Steph's tips to spot greenwashing in influencer marketing
