Well, hello there and welcome back. My name is Stephanie Safarian and you are listening to

episode 175 of the Sustainable Minimalist Podcast. On today's's show we are outlining strategies to become

more sustainable consumers. I have talked a lot on this show about conscious

consumption, becoming conscious consumers.

But today we are flipping the script a little bit

and talking about what it means to be a sustainable consumer.

Are there places where sustainable and conscious consumption overlaps?

Are they completely different terms?

We're going to find out today as I speak with Stephen McMaster from Impact Snacks. Stephen calls himself the

sustainability police for impact snacks and so he is the perfect person for me to

talk to about how to make more conscious and sustainable consumption choices as well as how to best

lead with eco-consciousness in a market that green washes the heck out of everything. Let's waste no time and get right into the

interview. Enjoy my chat with Stephen McMaster.

Stephen, I am so excited to have you on the show and talk to somebody from my new favorite brand of snack bars, Impact Sn snacks. How are you? I'm doing fantastic. Thanks so much for having me. I know I know

Corey had a great time when he was on on your podcast before even though I think we had some the dog started barking and

and such so I'm in the basement now no dog but I'm excited to get going today.

Well yeah this is a low budget podcast that we're not you know money making machine over here, babies, I've had horns, honk from the street outside and we just roll with it here at the sustainable minimalist podcast.

But I already alluded to you working at impact snacks.

Why don't you tell us who you are, what you do for impact,

and what impact snacks has been up to since I talked to Corey back in December?

Geez, that's a lot.

Yeah, so who I am, I'm Stephen McMaster.
