Guilty Greenie
Welcome to The Guilty Greenie Join hosts Cait Bagby, seasoned sustainability writer and storyteller and Sarah Ferris true crime podcaster and a very green around the gills greenie - (read “Cait’s guinea pig!”) Ever feel that if you’re not living in a cave, hand spinning the wool from your hand reared, yet free ranging llamas you’re pooping all over this glorious planet. Then you're not alone! We want to get real for a minute and focus on what we can achieve because we have no intention of moving into a cave, we sure as hell can't spin any wool…… but we probably wouldn't say no to a few llamas! We are tired of perfectionism in trying to live more sustainably. So we're here to chat about our own guilt, share our own journeys and just add a bit of levity in our attempts and fails to be more eco friendly. And it’s fair to say that the failures will often outweigh the successes. We are going to share our own journeys, the good, the bad, and probably the laughable as well. If you, like Sarah, don’t know your carbon footprint from your tennis elbow but know you can do better for this gorgeous planet that we are crapping all over then you have met your tribe! And stay tuned for Cait’s challenge of the week, will it end in sunshine and rainbows or be a damp catastrophic wash out?
