Welcome to a This or That episode!

I break down the least impactful options from things you’ve been asking about.

This episode is actually a repost, because some of you have sent in these questions - clearly, we all have choices that keep us up at night. And often, what we expect isn’t actually the truth!

This week’s selection has a pretty controversial topic, and one that maaay just surprise you.

See if you can guess the answers before I reveal them - and then let me know if you got them all!

In this episode let's cover:

  • What uses more energy, turning off lights or energy efficient bulbs?
  • What has less of an impact, paper or plastic bags?
  • What resources and processes are made to make paper bags?
  • What matters more, what you eat or where its from?
  • What parts of your food intake you should reduce to help lessen your impact? (Don't worry, I'm not telling you to completely give up your favourites.)

Mā te wā - see you next week.
