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

episode 174 of the Sustainable Minimalist Podcast. I am quite fortunate as a podcast host and that is because you listeners write to me all the time and the parents listening you in particular right to me right to me you say over and over again so different voices different people

but the same sentiment which is that the two biggest barriers you face when it comes to

eco-friendly parenting is time and money.

So today I wanted to dedicate an entire episode to all of you

to those parents who want to do better, but don't want to completely upend their lives, doing so.

Quick disclaimer here, this episode is about doing better. It's not about being perfect. So for those

of you listening who have been on the environmentally friendly journey for a while,

this might not be the episode for you. I still love you, I still hope

you listen, but this is an episode specifically for parents who are just

starting out on their journeys and I believe it's important to support them

because the more people we can bring into the sustainable minimalist movement

means exponential growth of our collective efforts.

Today I'm speaking with Stace Dixon and Taylor Shear, two women who work for diaper, that's

DY P-E-R in all capital letters, diaper markets sustainable plant-based diapers.

And today I am speaking with Taylor and Stace

about low-waste parenting strategies

for those of us who find ourselves so overwhelmed by all those actions that we

should be doing. Enjoy my conversation with Stace and Taylor. Stace and Taylor I am so excited to have you both on the show to discuss low-waste

parenting. How are you? Stace will start with you. I'm great. Thank you so much for having us on the show. I'm really

excited to be here and a big fan of yours and congratulations on your book. That's so exciting.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Taylor, tell my
