Owner/operator Samantha Buente of Haynie's Corner Brewing Co. stops by to chat with Mary about their amazing low waste efforts in their day to day operations!  

Mary and Jamie had a great time interviewing certified diver, Abby Nielson! They chatted about her adventure of selling her home and packing up  backpacks to travel. Abby and her husband fell in love with the ocean and scuba diving after a trip to South Africa, which led them to become certified Divemasters. During their travels, they saw the impact that human beings can have on the environment and have since been working toward becoming more eco conscious and to waste less-and live more!

Mary sits down to talk conscious beauty with Erin Carpenter from Elate Cosmetics. Elate is a company fully committed to the planet and all of us who inhabit it.  If you're mindful of the ingredients you're putting on your skin, you care about keeping our planet healthy, and you're passionate about not subscribing to narrow beauty standards, you'll want to give this a listen!

Mary got to interview Bret Bloom, owner and founder of Dirt Wain! An amazing company committed to community-scale composting!! They offer food scrap and yard waste composting for households and businesses in the greater Fort Wayne area, keeping food scraps out of the landfill where they are destined to become methane gas—an accelerant contributing to climate breakdown. Composting reclaims nutrients and puts them back in circulation!  Listen and get ready to be excited about DIRT!!

Did you know 12 billion pads (made with a ton of plastic) and 7 billion tampons are thrown in the landfill each YEAR! And the average woman spends an average of $5,000 on period products over their lifetime.

Join me and the awesome team at Sixth and Zero to talk about the amazing alternatives available that aren't just better for us, but better for the environment! 

We got to chat with Brain Whitesell from TriState Recourse Recovery about the do's and don'ts and a bit of the how to's of recycling.

The Bra Recyclers have donated over 4 Million Bras to various organizations around the globe! Hear how they are making a positive impact environmentally and socially!

In Episode Zero, Mary gives us an idea of what this new podcast is all about-and who its for. (Spoiler alert: It's for all of us!)
