  • Summary

  • 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?

    Nov 5 2024
    CHALLENGE 1 - NOT A MATH SHOW! Welcome back, eco-warriors, to a special bonus episode of the **Guilty Greenie Podcast**, your go-to source for navigating the green lifestyle without the pressure of perfection. In this unique challenge episode, we embark on an ambitious journey to significantly reduce our carbon footprints. Join us as we delve into the complexities of calculating our carbon emissions and take on the challenge to halve our impact on the planet. **Calculating Our Carbon Footprint: A Bumpy Start** Our adventure begins with an attempt to quantify our annual carbon emissions. We navigate through the maze of online carbon calculators, confronting their limitations and the realization that not all calculators are created equal. Discover how we tackled these hurdles and what we learned about the carbon footprint of our daily lives. **The Challenge: Cutting Our Carbon Emissions in Half** With our carbon footprints calculated, we set out to reduce our environmental impact by 50%. From minimizing electricity usage and refining our recycling habits to choosing fresh meals over processed foods, we share our strategies, successes, and the occasional slip-up. **Beyond Calculators: Unveiling Corporate Greenwashing** A surprising twist in our journey was uncovering the truth behind carbon calculators. Initially marketed by corporations to shift the blame for environmental degradation onto individuals, we discuss how this realization influenced our approach to sustainable living and our challenge. **Lifestyle Changes and Eco-Friendly Insights** Reflecting on our eco-friendly challenge, we share the adjustments we made around our homes and the broader impact these changes have had on our daily routines. Learn how small, mindful actions can contribute to a significant decrease in one's carbon footprint. **Up Next: Wine Tasting with an Eco-Friendly Twist** As we wrap up this episode, we introduce the next challenge that puts a sustainable spin on wine tasting. Sarah will explore the environmental nuances between conventional and organic/biodynamic wines, promising another engaging and educational episode. **Join Our Eco-Friendly Journey** We're not just here to talk; we're here to make a difference. And we want you to be a part of our eco-friendly adventures.
