Hello there friends and welcome back.

On today's show we are talking about all the ways that we can be

eco-friendly and zero waste while in isolation. Now of course the

pandemic has been great for the planet in some ways right right? We are staying home, we're not driving around town,

we're not heading to stores and mindlessly buying, but in a lot of other ways

self-isolation has wreaked havoc on our zero waste goals.

And that is because most of us are panic buying.

We're buying an awful lot of things in large quantities but because store shelves are

empty we also find ourselves buying alternate options of the same products we generally always buy, and those alternate

options tend to have a lot of packaging.

Finally, many of us might find ourselves relying on products that we never really thought about buying before.

The first one that comes to mind is Clorox Wipes, right?

We're buying all these things that we think are going to help keep us healthy without really

thinking about how those products are impacting the environment. So on today's show I'm offering you nine ways we can

retain our eco-friendly and zero-waste principles while in quarantine.
