If you want to go all out "zero waste" or just reduce your waste by 25%, this episode has something for you. Erin talks about how she and her family went from consumers to zero waste advocates since 2013, the triggers that got her started, and her first steps. Taking part in "Plastic Free July" (think "Dry July" but to forego plastic rather than alcohol), starting her "dilemma jar" (to keep track of what rubbish she created) and living with more intention. In this podcast episode we talk about: How to get started on your waste reduction journey. Easy alternatives that you can start today. Reusable bags, coffee cup and water bottle, saying no to straws, composting and more. Why recycling is not the answer. We actually need to recycle less. Using Facebook, Gumtree (and others) Buy, Sell, Swap pages. How to refill your beer and wine containers. ...and much more. I hope you enjoy this episode with Erin Rhoads!
