ICYMI: Easy Ways To Cut Out Plastic, Reduce Waste & Live More Sustainably, with Environmentalist Julia Grieve

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

Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed.  In honor of Earth Day and Earth Month, we’re revisiting one of our most practical and empowering conversations on sustainable living, reducing waste, and lowering your carbon footprint—without falling into the trap of perfectionism. We break down how to reduce plastic use, what actually matters when it comes to recycling, and simple swaps that can significantly reduce your waste and carbon footprint over time. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to live more sustainably, cut out plastic, or make eco-friendly choices in a world built on convenience and overconsumption, this is your realistic, no-guilt guide to sustainability. Because sustainability isn’t about being perfect—it’s about making better choices consistently. 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.  Listen to the full episode here.
