How many people can say they went to kindergarten in the woods? Well forest and nature schools are on the rise and their philosophies can definitely be integrated into public school curriculums.

Zero waste living and saving the planet is not just for the here and now (though we have to ACT NOW in order for there to be a future), it's also about raising up a generation that cares for the planet, that create a society that respects the earth and all humankind, and can basically be some decent human beings who don't just put themselves first. Today I chat with Sarah Robertson Barnes of Sustainable in the Suburbs about raising up this very kind of human, and in the process teaching ourselves how to be better and do better too.

New year, new goals! Like composting! Did you know Canadian households waste over 300 pounds of food a year?! That's a problem in itself but in many, many cities, all of that food waste is being sent to landfill, piling up and adding to the GHG emissions that's heating our planet. But Bennett Compost is making composting as easy and as accessible as possible in Philadelphia, PA. Everything from picking up your food waste, to turning it into valuable soil, to tips on what goes best in your bin, Bennett Compost's founder Tim Bennett covers it all. Plus there's some advice for starting a similar company in your own city!
