Earth911 Podcast: Sustainability in Your Ear
Are you looking for ways to make sustainable choices in your daily life? Look no further than the Earth911 podcast, where we discuss all things green and eco-conscious. In a classic episode of Sustainability In Your Ear, the Earth911 team delves into sustainable household decisions and projects that you can tackle during your extra time at home due to coronavirus isolation.
One topic we explore is the different types of laundry detergent available on the market. From powdered to liquid, pod, and sheet detergents, we break down the options that are not only gentle on your clothes but also better for the environment. If you’re thinking about making a homemade gift for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day this year, we’ve got you covered with a guide to creating an eco-conscious shaving kit or repurposing aluminum cans in DIY projects that make unique and fun gifts.
In addition to household projects, we discuss the labeling of foods and a recent study conducted by As You Sow, a nonprofit organization focused on pesticide-use transparency in major food producers’ supply chains. You may be surprised by which companies excelled in the study and which ones lagged behind, making it crucial to be aware of what you’re consuming.
And if you’ve been wondering how to properly recycle VHS tapes and used tires, we’ve got you covered in this week’s Earthling Questions segment.
