Starting Sustainability: Sustainable Living: eco-friendly: environment: green: recycle: zero-waste – Details, episodes & analysis

I'm back!!! It was a nice summer break and now it is back to the grind. The first 20 minutes of this episode is catching up with Kaylin. Learn about the garden, traveling to Texas, HR stories, work drama, Ruger, family life, etc. If you want to go straight to the embarrassing secret it is shared at the 20:45 mark. 

Happy June! June 5th was World Earth Day! This was Kaylin's first time hearing about it (oops). Also, June means it is time to bust out the Bucket Lists and review them to see how you are doing in your progress. Kaylin is doing great on some and getting nowhere on some others. 

Still Starting Sustainability but taking a new direction. Kaylin will continue the podcast and sustainably related topics but will include more "other" topics as well. In this episode a new segment of "what its like to be a parent" is introduced (but not for those with a weak stomach). Also, it is the kickoff to Black History Month and Kaylin discusses the fascinating story of Claudette Colvin. Never heard of her? Well, listen in and learn!

www.startingsustainability.com During this time we have racial tensions, ecological disasters like wild fires and hurricane and the Covid-19 pandemic going on. These are all resulting in tragic loss of so many lives effecting families, communities, and cultures, as well as an increase in pollution, and the disruption of natural ecosystems. When the world is all out of whack, it is time to restore the balance between people and nature. That’s where eco bible comes in and tells us how. The author of Eco Bible Rabbi Yonatan Neril joins Kaylin in discussing how the bible guides us to live sustainably. Show notes available at www.startingsustainability.com/episode63

www.startingsustainability.com Since the pandemic has spoiled everyone with online ordering and takeout, using websites like UberEats, Door Dash and Deliveroo have also skyrocketed. Austin Sachs has been hard at work with a web browser extension called Ethyk to help you shop, ethically.

This interview was conducted on 12/4/20. I won a $20 gift card for uber eats at work on the same day I had this interview with Austin to learn about Ethyk and using it to find a sustainable restaurant to order from using Uber Eats. That is destiny aligning it all up at once.
