- The Village Toy Share
Brittany tells us all about The Village Toy Exchange: a subscription program for toys so that your kid (or maybe you adults, if you're into Lego or board games) gets new toys each month without causing more manufacturing of toys, especially those made of plastic.

51 min - Halloween With More Masks Than Usual
Halloween is going to look a little different this year. So why not build some new habits! Let's try to make this Halloween the least wasteful yet!
Donate to support waste reduction efforts: wastefree.ca
Some things we talk about:
- Costumes from thrift stores
- Upcycling for decorations
- Treat swaps instead of trick or treating
- Focusing more on the "tricks" and the fun of it, rather than the candy
- What we think will be the costume that everyone will dress up as this year
