Green Living for Real Life

I have a confession - I still have a plastic cutting board in my kitchen. And after doing the research for this episode, I’m replacing it this week.It turns out your cutting board is one of the biggest sources of microplastic exposure in your kitchen. Every time a knife meets a plastic surface it shaves off tiny particles that go directly into your food. The research is still evolving but what we know is worth paying attention to.The good news? The swap is easy, affordable, and your kitchen will actually look better for it.In this episode, I’m walking you through every cutting board option out there - ranked from best to worst - plus exactly what to look for when you’re standing in the aisle at Home Goods or TJ Maxx.What you’ll learn:•Why plastic cutting boards are a microplastic source in your kitchen•The full cutting board ranking — wood, bamboo, composite and stainless steel•Which wood is best, walnut, maple or acacia, and why it matters•Exactly what to look for on the label when buying a wood board•How to care for a wood board so it lasts decadesShop the episode — cutting boards on Amazon (aff links):Wood PicksBudget pick — Acacia: https://amzn.to/41UkGyXMid range pick — Acacia End Grain: https://amzn.to/4tEuysSInvestment pick — Walnut: https://amzn.to/42wiwFPBamboo pick — Keechee Carbonized Bamboo: https://amzn.to/3QvnDnaSince recording this episode: I also discovered the Epicurean paper composite board - made in the USA from recycled paper fibers, no microplastics, NSF certified and dishwasher safe with no oiling required.

If we’re meeting for the first time - hi! This episode is the perfect place to start.This episode is a little different. Instead of tips and swaps I wanted to take a few minutes to share a little about me, why green living matters so much to me, and what actually motivates me to make choices that are safer for my family and the planet.I spent over ten years working in conservation education at a large zoo — yes, I walked past cheetahs on my way to work every morning. When I became a stay at home mom of three I tried to overhaul everything at once. It did not go well.What actually worked was simpler. And it’s the whole philosophy behind everything I share here.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by green living, frustrated that nothing sticks, or like you just don’t have time for a complete lifestyle overhaul — this one is for you.Resources mentioned:Free Real Life Mom’s Guide to Green Kitchen Habits: https://greenily.co/20-sustainable-kitchen-habits-lp/Follow along on Instagram: @pam.p.mercer
