Summary

Ep. 012: A zero-waste lifestyle, or even reducing the amount of waste we create, is as much of a mindset as it is practical actions. Today we talk to Niki Wallace, founder of Almost Zero a sustainability consultancy focused on helping people "rethink rubbish" in their homes and workplaces. Niki says reducing waste just comes down to simplifying your life or rethinking your methods of consumption. As we simplify more areas of our lives, happiness levels increase and stress decreases... plus we can feel great about our impact on the planet and combatting climate change!
