Slow Progress Is Still Progress

Slow Progress Is Still Progress

Low waste living sounds great in theory, but in practice? Thanks to life’s obstacles, it’s much harder to commit for the long-haul. Add children into the equation and intentionally creating less trash can feel like a daily, uphill slog.

On today’s show I speak with blogger and life coach Rebekah Lara about recommitting to your low waste goals despite waning motivation.

Here’s a preview:

[3:30] An excuse, or a legitimate barrier?

[10:30] Imperfection vs. perfection in the low-waste community

[17:30] Intermediate low-wasters unite! Why you should take a second (and third) look at the contents of your trashcan

[25:00] It’s not about the mason jar filled with trash: How to re-center your efforts around the big picture
