605 Lauren Singer: The Zero-Waste Guide to a Simple Life

605 Lauren Singer: The Zero-Waste Guide to a Simple Life

If you're going to have a discussion, be positive about it. Don't tear people down for trying. - Lauren Singer
Have you ever thought about how much trash you create in a day?
My juice comes in plastic bottles, my prepared meals come in plastic containers, my favorite to go meal from my favorite restaurant comes in a plastic bowl in a plastic bag.
It's not just food either, it's everything. When you order something online it comes in a box full of packing products.
It all adds up pretty quick, and once I started to notice how much trash I was creating, I started to wonder about a different solution.
I'm not the only one noticing this problem, and you may even feel the same way. The zero waste lifestyle is a growing trend, and on the forefront of that is my friend Lauren Singer.
Some of you may know Lauren from her popular blog Trash is for Tossers, or even from her giant social media following. Lauren was an environmental science major in college when she came to the discovery that she was creating just as much waste as everyone else.
She decided to make an impact on the world by changing her personal actions and believed that her love for the planet would inspire others to do the same. Today she has been featured on several major news outlets, has a massive social media impact, owns a package free shop in Brooklyn, and is considered a leader in the zero-waste movement.
On this episode, Lauren gave some amazing insights on how to live a waste free life. If you're worried that cutting down on your waste is expensive or impossible based on where you live, get ready to see this lifestyle in a new light.
Learn all about the impact your actions have on our planet and how to improve them on Episode 605.
