Episode 00013 Streaming, meeting online friends offline, and my minimalism/zero-ISH waste journey

My personal pensieve

When I recorded this it was after meeting someone from one of the platforms I stream on. And meeting him at this place I was super aware of all the plastic involved and the likelihood of them not recycling. There are a lot of things with food biz where if it is possible it is definitely more challenging to be eco friendly and in a world of convenience there are lots of consumers not down with paying a premium for more green conscious packaging/items. Anyway It got me to thinking of why I even started on my minimalist/zero-ISH waste journey. And it is still a journey. And I still fuck up or feel bad like when I don't bring my utensils but on a whim decide to eat out. I am still making adjustments in my life and I still prefer to eat out for poke versus make it. I personally do not believe or strive for a completely zero waste life. For my lifestyle and current routine I do not foresee completely zero waste. But I do strive to be less wasteful. And do my best to not introduce more plastic into the house and not to be dependent on recycling programs since there is no guarantee recyclables get recycled. But anyway. This is about a 25minute listen. Save it for when you are stuck in traffic or driving 30miles. Thanks again for listening! Hope in some way it helps you or makes you chuckle. It's easy to be negative and react. I know from personal experience. Still working on it, don't worry about it. Let's go into the world and do our best to be our best selves. No one is living your life for you but yourself.
