TGoG 118 – Plastic Free Living with Lindsay Miles

July 15, 2015 @ 10:00 By Gavin Webber 2 Comments

[spp-player optin=”off”]

All that plastic getting you down? Want to live a plastic free lifestyle?  Well I have a treat for you!

On the show today I’m joined by Lindsay Miles who is the author of the popular blog Treading My Own Path.

Lindsay Miles - Shopping for Zero Waste Tortilla Chips

Lindsay Miles – Shopping for Zero Waste Tortilla Chips

After watching the documentary Bag It, she made a fundamental change in her life and chose to live a plastic free lifestyle, which as she describes in the episode was not a simple as it first seems.  Lindsay and her husband persevered and now manage to live a plastic free lifestyle.

We also chat about why recycling is the 3rd R and why its not all it’s made out to be, sustainable living, consumerism gone wild, and her love of food gardening.

Join us by listening to this very interesting show.

P.S. After listening to Lindsay and Erin talk about this documentary, I just ordered my own DVD copy to watch and review.

    He’s ordered the DVD! Yay!!! Now I’m gonna have to borrow an Inconvenient Truth so you don’t make me look bad! ; ) Just kidding (not about the borrowing, about the looking bad). Thanks so much for having me, was so much fun and can’t wait to tell you all about my garden in a few months! : )
