How To Live Sustainably And Make Eco-Friendly Changes That Actually Make A Difference, with Julia Grieve | Earth Month Throwback

from Teach Me How To Adult · host Cailyn Michaan, Gillian Berner, Julia Grieve

It’s earth month, and every April we find ourselves reevaluating our consumption habits and examining how we can lower our carbon footprint. But TBH, it feels hella stressful. It's overwhelming trying to track alllll the things we're “supposed” to be doing. Between buying sustainable food, conserving water, shopping secondhand, swapping to eco-friendly appliances and tech, composting, and reducing waste, the list feels never-ending, and it feels like we're just not doing enough. So we're throwing it back to an honest and tactical episode that changed our perspective on sustainable living, with the accidental environmentalist herself, Jules Grieve. Because it's easy to let perfect become the enemy of good, and being environmentally conscious is about finding realistic swaps that actually work with your lifestyle. Going green is a game of progress over perfection. Julia is a TV personality, entrepreneur, fashion designer, former international model, and founder of the incredible Preloved, North America’s leading sustainable fashion brand that has diverted over a million sweaters from landfills.  She’s CityLine’s eco expert and regularly appears on Global News and in Canada’s biggest media outlets. Her mission is to show people how simple changes, over time, can have a huge impact, and she’s showing the world how we can take an eco-friendly approach to home design, health, food, fashion and lifestyle. Tune in as we chat about:How Julia became the “accidental environmentalist” and started her brand, PrelovedJulia’s top sustainable swaps that anyone can makeTips for cutting out plastic and reducing your wasteWorking towards a circular economyWays to repair, upcycle, and thrift to extend the lifecycle of our thingsHacks for cutting down on food waste, and the truth about recyclingWhy we should be mindful of our water consumptionFollow Julia:@prelovedjulesjuliagrieve.cagetpreloved.com Subscribe to my Substack:teachmehowtoadult.substack.comFollow us on the ‘gram:@[email protected] on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadultSubscribe on YouTube
