  • 010 • Anti-Consumerism

    Wanna go low waste? Step one: don't buy anything.  This episode is all about avoiding the trap of consumerism when trying to reduce the amount of waste we produce. There is no need to buy almost anything (and certainly not buy anything new) when you are striking out on your first zero waste adventure. We need to resist the urge to buy all the beautiful products that are being made available to us and instead, begin at home with what you already own. Hope you enjoy today's conversation.
