Sustainable Living: Take Our Time and Do It Right

from Reflections · host Ramya Amuthan, Kelly MacDonald

It takes a bit of thought and a bit of change, but not as much effort as we believe, to create and maintain a sustainable lifestyle. Kelly MacDonald brings us along as he learns how our small choices impact how we care for our Earth. Laura Newton, Founder of The Kind Matter Company, is an expert on sustainable living, and shares how we can move to clean purchases and clean products, without it having to break the bank. Laura explains what it actually means to buy clean and organic. Spoiler alert: it goes way beyond the packaging label and ingredient list. Laura also shouts out some of her favourite natural products and clean Canadian companies for us to jot down. One of these companies is Oneka, producing self-care products that stay friendly to the environment, which we learn more about from Co-founder, Philippe Choinière.
