Summary

Sustainability sounds great in theory, but it can feel impossible to put into practice. In a world where “eco-friendly” is trending, how do you even differentiate between products that are actually good for the earth, versus those that aren’t? Is it even possible to become a more conscious consumer without breaking the bank? And does it even make a difference? It can be hard to know where to start without feeling the pressure to throw away all of our old beauty and cleaning products, go vegan, and commit to using one square of toilet paper a day.  If you’re interested in making small, simple changes, or just learning more about what sustainability really is, then this episode is for you.  Tune in as J hears from Laura Wittig, CEO and co-founder of brightly.eco, a media platform that features content, community, and brand recommendations that ignite change via conscious consumerism, to learn some practical steps you can take to live a more eco-friendly life, without overhauling your entire life. You’ll learn: What sustainability really is Why sustainability doesn’t need to be expensive  Gardening tips for beginners Tips for reading labels to find eco-friendly products Practical changes you can make as a consumer to live more sustainably To learn more from Laura and access her resources, check out brightly.eco.

I am talking with Laura Wittig to learn a little bit more about getting started with sustainable living.

I thought this might be something that our community would find interesting as I've shared quite a bit on my clean living journey.

Typically, once you get into the clean living or non-toxic, you know, product world,

0:19.6

you start hearing about these other words, like eco-friendly and sustainable and through trade.

0:24.0

And I started to notice that and I found myself feeling like, what do all these words mean?

0:28.3

Like, do they all mean the same thing? Are they slightly different? There's different labels that mean not pested on animals or fair trade.

0:33.8

And it's going to be hard to differentiate the differences between all of them and what to really look for

0:38.6

and how to make small, simple changes in our life without maybe overhauling our entire life to make a little bit more conscious decision.

0:45.3

So Laura is here to help us out. Laura is the co-founder of Brightly.Eco, which is a media platform that features content, community, and brand recommendations that ignite change via conscious consumers.

0:56.0

So she is giving us, I appreciate her very grace-based approach that she's giving us, but she's giving us some tips and practical steps that we could take.

1:03.2

If this is something that interests you, if this is something that's close to your heart, but you just feel a little bit overwhelmed by it or something that you're just even a little interested in and would love to learn about.

1:10.9

I found myself feeling curious and so I thought, well, might as well get on the phone, have a conversation, and record it and share it with you.

1:16.6

So I asked Laura a bunch of different questions, everything from what is sustainability?

1:21.4

Why is it important to what are misconceptions that people typically have around living a more conscious lifestyle to?

What brands we should be looking for? What labels actually mean? How to understand them and what small swaps and steps we can take in our everyday life if we want to begin implementing this in small ways in our life?

1:38.3

So all of that said, this is a power packed, super practical, and really interesting. I just find it so fascinating, such an interesting episode.
