Ever think that one person can’t make a difference? Well, I hate to say it but you are wrong. It only takes the power of one changemaker with the force of nature to see something wrong and make changes - globally!

 

My guest on The Sustainable Shift Podcast is Sheila Morovati who has founded not one but 2 highly successful Non-Profits Habits of Waste and Crayon Collection. 

 

Habits of Waste focuses on finding solutions to shift habitual behaviors that contribute to pollution and waste. HoW is most known for the #CutOutCutlery campaign, which convinced UberEats, Postmates, Grubhub, and most recently Veggie Grill to globally change the default setting in their applications so that no one receives plastic cutlery unless requested – which is now going into legislation! DoorDash and Chipotle are the next targets.

 

Once Sheila realized that she could shift mindsets with minimal societal efforts, she started to think bigger. The latest campaign #8Meals is a newly launched app that challenges individuals to decrease their animal protein intake by 40% by swapping out 8 meals a weekfor plant-based foods.

This small commitment could lead to lifelong habits, eliminating waste from farming + improving our health. I mean, did you see Seaspiracy on Netflix?!
