New Year Resolutions - or what you can do at home this year, to lighten your impact on the planet.

Today we're going to focus on resolutions. I know, nobody keeps resolutions, so let's call them goals. This episode is all about sustainability goals for our personal lives, because yes, we need systemic change to change the world, but we can also do our bit with individual action. Now this is going to cover a whole range of topics and if you can pick up and try even one of them this year you could be reaping the benefits by the end of the year.  In this episode I share:  Exactly where I got the information from and why we can trust it Why food waste contributes to 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions The multiple ways you can reduce your personal food waste Why shifting to a diet that is lower in meat is the second most impactful thing you can do An easy way to gradually reduce your meat consumption Why shifting to more sustainable modes of transport is very impactful Why we need to support sustainable brands more How much damage is being done by the lack of diversity in our natural world The things you can do to help our natural world in your backyard Key Quotes   “If food waste were a country it would be the 3rd largest emitter of greenhouse gases.”   “Compost juice is like plant crack.”   “Consumer choices change business. Consumer choices have a massive impact on the environment.”   “If we all collectively, en masse, stopped supporting that suppurating pustule on the buttocks of humanity that is SHEIN, they would collapse.”   ‘The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions. That is bigger than most countries.”   More information  I collected a lot of this episode’s information from Project Drawdown.
