On today's episode we are joined by Kennedy Hammond, the owner of Love of Earth Co. and an inspiring advocate for sustainable living and zero-waste practices. We explore what it means to live a zero-waste life and why it is crucial for the health of our planet. Kennedy explains that zero waste extends beyond recycling and emphasizes the importance of reducing waste at its source. She highlights the global waste problem, shedding light on the significant role that the United States plays in contributing to this issue.
Transitioning to a zero-waste lifestyle may seem daunting to many, but Kennedy shares practical steps and insightful advice to help listeners get started on their own sustainability journey. We discuss everyday product swaps and zero-waste alternatives, dispelling the misconception that sustainable living is expensive or out of reach for the average person. Kennedy empowers listeners with the understanding that even small changes can have a substantial impact on waste reduction and that sustainability can actually lead to long-term financial benefits.
More About Kennedy:
After traveling the world & ending up in a few 3rd world countries, Kennedy quickly realized how our trash over here in America, effects other countries all around the world! Most of the time, in the worst of ways. So she made it a point when she returned to not only lower her waste as much as possible but give Americans every resource possible to do that for themselves as well!
