This week on Everything You Didn’t Know About Herbalism, we are sharing the part two special episode in acknowledgment of the annual Buy Nothing Day movement with the award-winning author of The Zero-Waste Chef, Anne-Marie Bonneau. Join us as Anne-Marie and Thomas explore what motivated her plastic-free journey, the ever-growing planet’s plastic pollution problem, where most of our day-to-day trash comes from, practical tips for decreasing waste in the kitchen, and the importance of continuing the conversation surrounding the Buy Nothing Day movement.

What is Buy Nothing Day you ask? Well, please allow us to explain! 

Buy Nothing Day is our annually celebrated tradition in protest of Black Friday. In making this stand, we are joining tens of thousands of people across 65 nations for an international day of protest against mass consumerism and the throw-away culture that accompanies it. The Buy Nothing Movement has been growing since 1992 as overconsumption continues to consume our precious natural resources faster than we can replace them, putting our planet in real jeopardy.

If you visited our website last week, you likely noticed that our website was blacked out in protest of Black Friday. Although this “sale holiday” has since passed, it is crucial to continue the conversation surrounding the impacts mass consumerism has on our planet 365 days a year. We encourage our listeners to keep the buy nothing ball rolling by spreading acts of kindness, discovering new zero-waste kitchen tips from the Zero-Waste Chef Blog listening to your favorite podcast (bonus points if it’s this one!), or better yet, all of the above! The Buy Nothing Day movement is all about reaching for the meaning in our lives instead of stuff, and we thank you all for being part of the solution to reestablish a symbiotic relationship with our earth.  

Learn more about Anne-Marie & Zero-Waste Chef below!       

Anne-Marie Bonneau is an award-winning cookbook author, speaker, fermenter and sourdough baker who has lived a plastic-free lifestyle since 2011.
