Give a Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet.

Small steps lead to greater environmental change.
Sustainability and environmental concerns are impacted by the small choices you make in daily life.

Eco-evangelist Ashlee Piper urges for people to take a step beyond recycling. While recycling helps reduce overall waste, examining one’s daily garbage creation will make a bigger difference. Look at how much packaging you throw away in a day.

Transitioning to a plant-based diet is good for the health of the planet. If you aren’t ready to eliminate meat completely, reducing your weekly consumption helps.

For your fur baby, sustainable pet supplies are great. T-shirt strips braided into ropes make great toys. Consider second-hand supplies.

Get smart at the supermarket. Eat ugly produce. Bring your own bags. Shop bulk foods to avoid excessive packaging.

Listen as Ashlee joins Lisa Davis to share tips on how to make the world a better, more sustainable place.
