Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. This week on the pod I chat with Stephanie Guyatt, owner and operator of Under One Sun, a group of artisans from all around the world who are overcoming poverty and restoring dignity through artistry. Beyond the incredible upcycled use of materials such as 55 gallon steel drums, broken glass tumbled smooth, paper, and scrap aluminum and copper, we also chat social justice, the 'white saviour' complex, and being part of a global and local community to restore dignity to all. Learn more at the links below + thanks for listening!

Ever wondered about all those mystery terms like No 'Poo and Co-Washing? Have questions about how to go shampoo-free from a curly-haired non-conventionalist? This week on the pod I chat with Chelsea Day-Ross about her no-shampoo hair care method for curly, caucasian lady hair, some tips for lots of other hair types, resources, and a well-rounded conversation on consuming less to save money and keep the planet livable all in one! 

All those New Year's Resolutions sounded grand a month ago, but now where are we at? If you have trouble creating realistic goals and sticking to them, today's conversation with social worker Ross Cossar will definitely offer some insight into how to create lasting change not just in your zero waste journey but for life in general! 

Discounts and sales come at a cost to the humans making the things we buy, and to the planet. This week's round-up of recommendations and tips is below!

Youth Emergency Shelter for Youth and Families, donate now:

The zero waste basics in a city of seven million people. We cover recycling woes and how to cut down what goes in your recycle bin, we talk community building and making friends with similar values in such a big city, and Laura gets into her love of Chinese food and the rise in vegan options in Hong Kong. Laura was so lovely to talk to and had so many recommendations so let’s dive into zero waste living in Hong Kong!

Episode 100! We're talking 'uncomfortable' subjects (for white or uninformed environmentalists) and how that discomfort has to lead us to GROWTH as a movement, and as humanity for the sake of the planet and the people on it! 

R E C O M M E N D A T I O N S:

Episode 265 of Green Dreamer with Mikaela Loach: Distinguishing ecofascism and dismantling white supremacy in environmentalism:

Why it’s important and why it’s not a new concept to live in sync with nature rather than at odds with it. today I chat with Kamea Chayne, host of Green Dreamer Podcast, and she goes deep into intersectional environmentalism and reindigenizing the landscape to offer place based solutions to climate change, rather than a one size fits all method.

Today I’m chatting with Sara Brigz of Let That Shit Go, all about decluttering for your mental health! We cover tips for decluttering, how to get rid of things sustainably, ways to discover your values and motivators, and how a tidy room can be a tidy mind. I know for me that the space around me if very often a reflection of how busy, tired, stressed, relaxed or anxious my brain is at any given time, and I can often feel better about my situation by tidying up all the kids toys or laundry or doing the dishes. Well not the dishes, I don’t really do those.. Sara has such great tips today, and it was so lovely to chat with her again. It’s been almost two years since she was first on the show and you’re going to love what she has to share. Let’s go!

Beyond the bubble of our own households beyond the individual actions we talk privilege, climate justice, and community activism, as well as all about Polly’s book More Than a Plastic Bag, which I just got as an ebook and it’s so so helpful and full of action items to help us change the world. If you are BRAND NEW to zero waste, hold up, and swing over to some other episodes like episode 55 zero waste swaps, or episode 19 Random Acts of Green, there’s lots of episodes for those who are just hearing about zero waste for the first time. In today’s chat with Polly we upend a lot of typical zero waste ideals and expand our horizons to take on larger climate action, so if you’re ready to get a little scared but also super charged to do more for the planet in the time we have left, join me in this chat, because it is oh so good. Let’s go!

I'm taking a holiday, so this week I'm rewinding to April 2019 to a conversation with Bill Callaghan, life long farmer from Lindsay, Ontario! This is a favourite conversation of mine and it centres around sustainable agriculture, soil health and the harmful results of pesticides on our health and the environment. Stay tuned for brand new episodes to come after my hiatus basking in the sunshine and spending quality time with my family away from the microphone. Lot's of love and happy August!

Reducing pesticides, cover cropping, adding nutrients to soil at an industrial scale, feeding the worms and more, this episode is all about sustainable agriculture and crops with life-long farmer Bill Callaghan!
