Welcome everybody to today's episode of the Lindsay Elmore show.

Today's show is all about how can we become better stewards of our environment.

All day, every day, we are constantly consuming and getting rid of excess and throwing things away.

And yet we don't necessarily take a moment to take a step back and say,

how does this impact the greater world around me?

Today I'm going to be speaking with Catherine Kellogg. She is a going zero

waste advocate and we talk about simple ways that you can start in your own home to reduce your

environmental footprint because the more that we reduce our environmental footprint, the more that

our environment is able to provide for us clean air, clean water, and clean food that helps

to keep us all healthy. After that, I'm going to tell you a bit about why I compost and how I started

my first compost pile, some compost piles that I have seen around my newest compost pile,

which is the first ever compost tumbler that I've ever had and why I recommend going and buying

worms. Let's get to the show. Welcome to the Lindsay Elmore show, a podcast that helps you find

fulfillment amidst chaos. On this show, I interview thought leaders, doctors, creatives, spiritual

gurus, and game changers who inspire you to pursue your dreams, overcome obstacles, and leave your mark.

Catherine Kellogg is the founder of Going Zero Waste, a lifestyle website dedicated to helping others live a healthier and more sustainable life.

She's a spokesperson for plastic free living for National Geographic.

She is the chief sustainability officer at one movement and the author of 101 ways to go zero waste,

which breaks eco-friendly, sustainable living down into easy-to-follow step-by-step processes complete with lots of positivity and love.
