Slow Progress Is Still Progress


Listen Later

Low waste living sounds great in theory, but in practice? Thanks to life's obstacles, it's much harder to commit for the long-haul. Add children into the equation and intentionally creating less trash can feel like a daily, uphill slog.

On today's show I speak with blogger and life coach Rebekah Lara about recommitting to your low waste goals despite waning motivation.

Here's a preview:

[3:30] An excuse, or a legitimate barrier?

[10:30] Imperfection vs. perfection in the low-waste community

[17:30] Intermediate low-wasters unite! Why you should take a second (and third) look at the contents of your trashcan

[25:00] It's not about the mason jar filled with trash: How to re-center your efforts around the big picture
