There's no right way to feel right now in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, but what we do have as a result of living zero waste is a list of skills that make us more resilient, as well as a community that will support us through it all. This week's episode I had two callers from around the world telling us about their zero waste lifestyles, how they're adapting to the various pandemic conditions, and how they've seen the beauty of community blooming despite all social distancing and self-isolation regulations. Check out Elizabeth Lombardi @botanicalbop and Sophi Robertson @yourecofriend on Instagram and find some Skill Share Resources on Sophi's website here: https://www.yourecofriend.ca/
