117: Jr Sparrow: WV Uncommonplace

Tuesday, October 29, 2024 • Duration 57:07

Jr Sparrow and I have been friends for a couple of years, but have talked more since I've moved to his home state - even though he doesn't live here now, he's got lots of memories here (and his mom), so he's sharing all kinds of good tips with me. We talk about soil, critters - cute and less cute, and his first sustainability venture as a young person cleaning up after race track events (there's a pro race track less than 15 minutes from me). He is a real wealth of knowledge!

Jr has 3 (THREE) podcasts: WV Uncommonplace, WV Uncommonplace Interviews and Sessions, and Sparrows Under Review. There's even a 4th, that he's not sure the name of ( it's WV Uncommonplace Presents), and they're all different - don't ask me how he keeps track of what goes where, because I'm overwhelmed sometimes with just one... He has a job, too-

Jr's site for all access to him is here: https://linktr.ee/wvuncommonplace?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid= c7068034-d93c-4437-8946-aebddf0d1b6f

116: Kenya Rothstein, Environmental Attorney

Tuesday, October 22, 2024 • Duration 48:31

Kenya Rothstein is the host of the podcast Thank You For Saying NO, about things happen in life that feel impossible and hard, but turn out to be the best thing for us. I've been following her for a little while now, and at some point she messaged me and said something like "your podcast is about sustainability - I need to be a guest!" I wasn't going to say no - definitely not to an attorney...

Kenya is an Environmental Attorney in CA - and soon adding Washington DC! She works for the Plaintiff, and gets to support our oceans and air - how cool is that? She has so many ideas that people can get involved in protecting our natural spaces!

My biggest takeaway was for my new area, to talk with restaurants and ask them to advise customers to ASK for a straw or plastic cutlery, and ask the restaurants to make that a new practice, and to talk to them in a way that helps them realize there's a way to help save money AND save waste. I love how simple that sounds, and how doable it can be. I'm totally going to try this!

Hear the full conversation here-

107 Go Green with Alexa Pavan

Tuesday, August 20, 2024 • Duration 01:02:23

I've been following Alexa Pavan for a long time on Instagram - I love everything she posts and stands for, and I was so thrilled when she said yes to a conversation! I may have been a little giddy talking with her... Usually I like to get the back story of a guest, and get to the point where their life changed to be more sustainable, but Alexa doesn't have that - she grew up in a pretty sustainable household, and just extended it to include the rest of the world.

In her social media, she touches on shopping small, to support local businesses instead of padding the pockets of the ultra rich - and also to stop the big trucks from polluting the air. She talks about keeping our oceans clean, and why that's important (her parents owned a scuba diving business in FL while she was growing up, so she's very passionate about the ocean). She talks about imperfect sustainability, and why we shouldn't focus on doing EVERYTHING, but do what we're able to, and if everyone did what they could, we can make a real difference. And to get in touch with nature - spend more time outside and appreciate what's around us

Alexa encourages community advocacy, and to remember that our voices matter! We can support with our wallets and our voices.

27: Ranya Dube's Passion for Sustainable Food for Her Community

Tuesday, January 3, 2023 • Duration 01:28:13

Sometimes when you meet someone, you know it was just meant to be - Ranya Dube and I hit it off instantly when we met on Facebook a few months ago, and are big supporters for each other. Ranya is opening her second sustainability-like business, called The Good Food Place in Squamish, British Columbia, a town of about 200 people, and she wants to support local food growers, and encourage her community to eat locally and seasonably - learn why by listening!

This is a longer interview, but I couldn't get enough of what Ranya was saying. When someone is so clearly passionate about their project, I'm a total magnet to that - it's also something that I believe in, so I wanted to soak up all of her wisdom while I had her! So much valuable info was shared, but my favorite memorable thing she said was so simple and also profound. "We need more collaboration and less competition." Mic drop. Done. Right? She and I are in the same groove on so many things, and supporting community through food is definitely one of them!

Please give Ranya a follow on Instagram here or here and be inspired!
Here is the website for The Good Food Place - so awesome!
