Bizz and Claire chat about how doing your best doesn't mean doing everything and that creating a balance in your life is the key to sustainability.

Concepts:

• Focusing on one thing at a time


• Doing research before diving in


• Choosing to NOT do/use/have rather than finding an alternative


• Don't need to fit all your waste in a jar to be low waste


• Self care and self compassion


• Just DO. Doing something is better than nothing, even if it's small.


• Try to find the one thing with the biggest impact


• Try to find the simplest thing 


• Take into consideration other people in your life when making changes


• New changes in life can mean going backward a bit
  
  • New job, new baby, new home, etc.
  
  
  
  

Specifics:

• Public transportation 
  
  • Using it is the best way to make it better
  
  
  
  


• Strategically choosing where you live 
  
  • Size
  
  
  • Location
  
  
  • Efficiency
