How do the #zerowaste movement and #slowliving go together? Sammy and Jen break down their experiences with the zero waste movement, some of the darker sides of the movement (and what you can aim for instead), and how to get started reducing your impact on the environment in ways that can actually benefit you and your lifestyle as well!

In this episode, we will cover:

• What is the zero waste movement?
• What does the zero waste movement aim to do?
• How can the zero waste movement actually be toxic?
• Our personal journeys 'towards zero waste'... where we started and where we are now
• How does a zero waste lifestyle fit with the concept of slow living?
• Where can someone (re)start reducing their waste streams?
