Great chat with Veronica Milsom, creator or the Zero Waste Baby podcast series on Podcast One.

Here is the description for Zero Waste Baby

Comedian Veronica Milsom is a mum on a mission to reduce her tiny newborn's massive waste footprint. Hoping to ward off the impending environmental apocalypse, Veronica has to find alternatives to using any of the wonderfully convenient disposable products that make modern day parenting possible, like nappies, wet wipes and store-bought baby creams, for the first 3 months of her baby’s life. *Spoiler* This series involves reusing afterbirth, leaky cloth nappies, poo-catching and plenty of sleepless nights.
