You asked, we answered! Eleisha and Ali ditch the usual format and go full FAQ.

Whether you're curious about the best eco gift, want to hear their weirdest reuse hacks, or need a reminder that individual action does matter—this episode delivers on realness and relatability.

Key Takeaways

  • Favorite First Swaps: From cloth paper towels to toothpaste tablets, their low-waste journey started with simple changes.

  • “Lazy But Low-Waste” Habits: Wearing clothes more than once before washing and embracing the dishwasher for water savings.

  • Green Splurges: Upcycled textiles and rose gold razors—eco doesn’t mean boring.

  • Most Missed Plastic-Free Item: Healthy snack packaging is the top pain point.

  • Industry Makeover Wish: If they had a magic wand, they'd make the entire food system sustainable overnight.

  • Sustainability Myths Busted: It doesn’t have to be expensive—and yes, your individual actions truly do add up.

  • Magical Thrift Finds: Quilts, vintage light fixtures, and a few fabulous Facebook Marketplace scores.

  • Kiddos Catching On: Composting and secondhand shopping are already second nature for their little ones.
