Ep 31: Dreaming of a Green Christmas

from Switch · host Ashna and Lydia

We are super excited to do a holiday special, because it is one of our favourite times of year, but similar to our summer and vacation episodes: Christmas and the holiday season is a time people’s habits change all of their great sustainable practices get left at the door.This episode we want to talk about our weakness’ over Christmas, those areas where we can not be our greenest selves- and talk about some easy wins to help be a little bit more friendly to the planet.Did you know that each year a shocking 74 million minced pies are thrown away and 4.2 million plates of turkey and the trimmings. That is just looking at food waste. We also reflect on some of our lessons learnt this year and highlights from our wonderful guests.Featured brands & companies we discussed on this episode:Atlas & OrtusDameOur Good BrandsToo Good To GoGung HoFair Trade
