Listen on:

Today I'm talking to Ruth Watson of Ecologico UK. She helps people people live more sustainably through education, sustainable retail and responsible gifting. In this episode we discuss:

  • How becoming a parent means entering a consumerist world with very emotive advertising and making choices you've never thought of before

  • How parenthood is often a time when we start thinking about the impact we're having on the world and what we're bringing our children into

  • Second hand stuff for children and the stigma that can surround it

  • Breastfeeding as a sustainable option and what you can do make it even greener

  • How to make sustainable choices without putting too much pressure on an already stressful time of life

This is a slightly different focus than usual as it's less about mum's health and wellbeing, but given the interest in leaving a lighter footprint, I think it's interesting to learn more about living more sustainably. Plus, it's a topic I'm passionate about and love learning more about it!

But what drew me to Ruth is her practical, no-nonsense approach. She's very down-to-earth and not all or nothing in her approach - she's all about making small, practical changes on a regular basis that adds up over time.
