Summary: Impactful Eco Friendly Changes<br> <br> We’ve all been there: The awkward moment when we realize that, when it comes to eco friendly living, we could be doing more.<br> On this week’s bonus episode, I speak with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/greendiyer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marie Ève Gaudreau Lamarre</a>. Marie Ève walks us through the moment she realized that she wasn’t eco friendly simply because she recycled; soon after, she knew she could – and therefore must – do more.<br> In our conversation today, Marie Ève makes clear the reality that some of us actually can up our sustainability games, and she walks us through how she did just that.<br> <br> Here’s a preview of this week’s episode:<br> [5:45] Practical ways to transition from being a meat lover to a vegetarian<br> [9:00] The thought process (and the logistics) that lead up to a no-buy year<br> [13:45] The cost savings associated with a no-spend year and why, when you track your spending, it pays to categorize your purchases<br> [17:45] How to stay motivated during your no-buy year<br> <br> [A note from Stephanie: This is the third episode in a 5-episode series that features podcast listeners just like you.
