What screams summer time to you? BBQ's? Picnics? Outdoor concerts? Usually the biggest thing these have in common in the amount of disposable, single-use garbage they produce. But it doesn't have to be this way! The Peterborough Folk Fest is one of many examples of festivals making greener changes for the sake of the planet. From encouraging biking and walking to having REUSABLE DISHES for their food vendors, the Folk Fest is making waves in the green festival community! Check them out August 17th and 18th at Nichol's Oval Park in Peterborough and enjoy creating less waste!

Have a great week!

A hyper-local gift giving economy is at your fingertips with the Buy Nothing Project, an initiative that connects locals through random acts of kindness and generosity all day long. Going beyond second hand shopping, Buy Nothing Groups help us share the abundance we already have and give, no strings attached! This week's ep. I chat with Lauren Fitzsimmons with the Buy Nothing Project all about stepping out of the consumer frenzy and slowing things down, one ask at a time.

Can construction be zero waste? Better yet, can natural building actually help reverse climate change?! This week I talk to Chris Magwood from The Endeavour Centre Building School all about sustainability in construction projects. Everything from sourcing Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) approved materials to sequestering carbon in the homes we build, zero waste construction is absolutely possible!

Allergic to nuts? Try using a clothes line. Allergic to gluten? What if you carpooled more? Have to take medication for an illness? What about prioritizing local food? Today's conversation with Charlotte from A Zero Waste Life is all about BALANCE! No single person can do it all, especially if you have health concerns, are differently abled, are in a place with non-potable water, etc. Don't worry. You can still contribute to zero waste living. YOU can still make a difference!

What do I eat? How do I get a balanced diet? The right nutrients? Agh! Inspired by Michael Pollan’s book The Omnivore’s Dilemma, I chat with Natropathic Student Christina Holmquist about the ins and outs of healthy nutrition and sustainable eating.

Tiny living doesn't just exist on reality TV shows, and it doesn't have to mean decking out a VW Westfalia and hitting the road. It's happening everywhere and there are many, MANY ways in which living with a smaller floorpan can help you lead a greener existence! Today I chat with Alison Mazurek of the blog 600 Square Feet and a Baby about living smaller than your means in order to make room for a life rich with family, creativity, and sustainability.

Have a great week!

Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. Here we go folks, we've made it this far on our journey to zero waste and it's time to take the next step: plant based meals! Today my friend Theresa and I talk about going vegetarian, tips for cooking plant based proteins (Instant Pot!), and all the hard to face realities of the meat industry. This week we had so much content recorded that we also will release a bonus episode with some of Theresa's favourite vegetarian and low waste meal ideas as well as some PDF recipe cards which you can download from our social media platforms!
