Eating locally and seasonally is what this chat is all about! Today I met with Harriet Walker of the Peterborough Regional Farmer's Market and we talked all about community supported agriculture, veggie box programs, going SU plastic free at the Market, and loving that local dirt! Okay springtime, here we come!

Minimalism is a tool for living a meaningful life with less stuff to clutter up the place! Like the phrase 'zero waste' it implies an extreme lifestyle of all or nothing but that's hardly the case! Minimalism, like low-waste living is a sliding scale, where anyone can approach it at the level they need. Today I chatted with The Minimalist Mom, Amy, about her minimalist philosophy and how to use this lifestyle to find space for what really matters!

Moving, new job, giving birth AND be eco friendly at the same time? Seem like a lot to ask? Okay maybe, but here's how we managed the past 3 months since our son was born. We produced more waste than we'd like, but this episode is all about doing what you can and going easy on yourself when you can't.

Have a great week everyone!
