Summary
Climate change is real. I'm not being flippant, but with some people questioning whether global warming is actually something we need to worry about it's time to look at some hard facts. Millions of tonnes of plastic end up in the ocean each year, plastic bags take upwards of 1000 years to degrade and knowing what can and can't be recycled isn't an easy as it maybe should be.
In this ninth #26habits I'm looking at the small, sustainable changes I can make to the products and services I consume and the way I recycle that will stop me contributing to the problem. Just a small about of internet research and I found that things I thought could be recycled can't and vice versa. It's time to educate myself as much as it's time to make changes.
Tune into the show to find out what steps I'll be taking over these next two weeks to break the habit of unwillingly contributing to climate change.

| 0:00.0 | This episode of the podcast is brought to you in partnership with Sensodyne. |
| 0:04.4 | You may have heard in the podcast last week that I took part in a chill test with dentist Anita Sandu. |
| 0:10.6 | This is her area of expertise and she guided me through drinking ice cold water, |
| 0:15.0 | eating a slice of fresh apple and taking a bite out of a trock ice, |
| 0:20.0 | all with the purpose of learning about my teeth sensitivity. Now I knew I had some sensitivity but it was really helpful |
| 0:26.1 | learning from Anita the reasons why, the foods that can cause that sharp feeling of sensitivity, |
| 0:31.1 | and the changes I can make to minimize any discomfort moving forward. |
| 0:35.0 | Since the chill test I've been using Senser Dine Repair and Protect Toothpaste, |
| 0:39.0 | it's clinically proven to provide long lasting protection for sensitive teeth with twice daily brushing, |
| 0:44.2 | and is expertly formulated to generate a protective layer over exposed areas of your teeth |
| 0:48.8 | to help protect you from the pain of sensitive teeth. |
| 0:51.5 | So if like me you've struggled with sensitive teeth, go get yourself |
| 0:54.4 | some sensodyne repair and protect now. |
| 1:08.7 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Emma Gunn show I am your host Emma Awardner I do hope you're very well and it's time for my ninth habit. Habit number nine of 26 habits is going to be all |
| 1:16.1 | about sustainability. Now this is something that I've really wanted to tackle on 26 habits, |
| 1:22.3 | but every time, and I'm sure many of you may feel the same way, |
| 1:27.4 | every time I begin to unpick this topic, I need to go and sit down somewhere very quiet because when I start to go down that Google |
| 1:37.3 | rabbit hole of climate change and I start to put it that thread of the inconvenient truth, it becomes evident that this |
| 1:48.5 | problem is huge and it seems almost silly to say, well I shall stop using carrier bags because it really does feel like trying to put a plaster over the Hoover Dam but every little helps and actually in preparing for habit number nine I've been speaking to many people who have made changes significant changes in their lives to their consumption habits in order to have a small effect on this problem and |
| 2:17.8 | every single person says it's about making small changes it It's about baby steps. They have a cumulative significance |
| 2:26.0 | So rather than trying to do something overnight and live without electricity from henceforth |
| 2:30.6 | Which obviously I think we'd all find rather difficult. It's about doing the little things |
