Bizz and Claire chat about how doing your best doesn't mean doing everything and that creating a balance in your life is the key to sustainability.

Concepts:

• Focusing on one thing at a time
• Doing research before diving in
• Choosing to NOT do/use/have rather than finding an alternative
• Don't need to fit all your waste in a jar to be low waste
• Self care and self compassion
• Just DO. Doing something is better than nothing, even if it's small.
• Try to find the one thing with the biggest impact
• Try to find the simplest thing 
• Take into consideration other people in your life when making changes
• New changes in life can mean going backward a bit
  • New job, new baby, new home, etc.

Specifics:

• Public transportation 
  • Using it is the best way to make it better
• Strategically choosing where you live 
  • Size
  • Location
  • Efficiency
• Car share
• Cycling
• Meal planning
• Shopping for food in bulk
• Mending clothes
  • Visible mending
• Compost alternatives to green bin for apartment dwellers
