Well, hello there friends and welcome back. My name is Stephanie Safarian and you're listening to episode 382 of sustainable minimalists, a show about intentional and eco-friendly minimalist living.

On today's show, we are discussing elimination communication.

Oh my goodness, what is that?

I'll be honest, I had no idea what elimination communication was until I received an email back in January

I'm way behind but back in January I received an email from Madeline. Madeline's a listener to the show and she said that I should

interview Andrea Olson of Go diaper free because and I quote the environmental

impact of disposable diapers is devastating and

Andrea is doing an incredible job helping people get back to how humans used to

take care of our infant's potty needs.

So when I receive an email from a listener like this,

singing someone's praise, telling me

how much this potential guest has helped and improved her life, I listen.

This episode is for the new moms listening, for the expectant moms,

and for the maybe one day and the future moms of course but

this episode is also for everybody else who have noticed a troubling pattern and

the pattern is this advertisers have effectively

and continue to effectively market out traditional human behaviors by

inserting a product of convenience into our lives

and claiming it's the modern solution it's the solution for the modern man or

the modern woman plastic diapers diapers are, of course, one of those such products.

Andrea, I'm so excited to talk to you today.

You come with high praise.
