Rogue about Plastic - with Benefits! with Erin Rhoads

Gutsy Matters

In this episode we chat to Erin Rhoads, The Rogue Ginger, and find out what inspired her to start living a more sustainable life. She tells us how she started to reduce waste and how you can begin to do the same; how taking part in Plastic Free July changed her habits and why she couldn’t go back; how heat draws out endocrine disrupters from plastic; swapping out single-use plastic items every day to reduce waste; valuing our farmers and the food they produce and so much more.

Erin is the lady behind the popular Australian eco lifestyle blog and website ‘Less waste, less plastic and sustainable living with ‘The Rogue Ginger’ with information on zero waste and plastic free living and tips on how to reduce plastic and rubbish every day.

Erin went from eating plastic-packaged takeaway while shopping online for fast fashion, to becoming one of Australia’s most popular eco-bloggers. She knows that small changes can have a big impact.

Through Erin's pursuit to live plastic-free and zero-waste, she has learnt to eat real food, discover new skills, cut down her exposure to harmful chemicals, found joy in moments over everyday things and simplified her life, while saving money.

She is the author of ‘Waste Not: making a big difference by throwing away less’ which has been described as the ‘Barefoot Investor’ for those wanting to live more sustainably.

The philosophy behind our Gutsy Matters podcast align so well with Erin’s ‘pursuit to live plastic-free and zero-waste, eat real food, and cut down exposure to chemicals’.
