019: Waste-Free Family - The Carters

Life Freshly Sorted by SUSTOMi

They live on a suburban block and are able to produce almost no waste, with a family of 5! Lifestyle is more than just the waste side of things.
For this episode, I didn't want to list off the things they do to reduce their plastic usage - we hear a fair bit already on that - in this episode, we talk about what their goal of low-waste life is, how the lifestyle fits into the bigger picture and affects the greater economy. They are a very intelligent couple and although their waste-free lifestyle may seem quite extreme to some, you might be surprised they are not too far from the norm. There are always elements to take and implement elsewhere from a conversation like this one.
There's a lot of juicy tips - things like a waste-free DIY dog food recipe and how principles of unschooling can be applied to your adult life - and potentially make it better! You can check out spiral garden online and their book a family guide to waste-free living... Anyway, here are The Carters!
In This Episode We Talk About:

• About recycling-free
• What happens during the recycling process
• How do they see a low-waste life, transforming the economy and how is it the same with creating a most sustainable environment
• A day in a life with the Carters looks like and how they go about their life
• How to make DIY pet food
• What unschooling is
