Embracing Sustainability in our Throwaway Culture | Zero Waste Expert Tara Button, BuyMeOnce.com

#249 • How do we shop with a sustainable mindset? Cozy in for this comforting chat with British zero-waste expert Tara Button, a former advertising copywriter who couldn't stomach that she was selling people stuff they didn't actually need. She founded BUYMEONCE.com as a consumer guide for those of us who want to buy a quality item once and learn how to care for it. We discuss how to shop with a sustainable mindset, how to care for the things we already have, and her book A Life Less Throwaway: The Lost Art of Buying for Life (Ten Speed Press).

These are uncertain times. Thank you for taking precautions with your sweet families by practicing social distancing. The elderly and those of us with immunocompromised spouses - like Adam - truly appreciate it. I'm aware that the elderly and children who depend on school lunches will be especially hit hard. I'll be donating to feedamerica.org. Check them out. New listeners, we have over 240 episodes. If you happen to come across any favorite moments or quotes from our experts, email me at [e-mail] or DM on Instagram @atomicmoms and I may share them on social media, crediting you in the caption of course!

Subscribe to our newsletter @atomicmoms.com I'll be sharing the latest news from our personal little Homefront as well as articles and kid activities.
