Lots of people spend lots of time defining "sustainable packaging" and I'm starting to think it's a waste of time. It's highly subjective and we would be much better off measuring the positive and negative impacts being made by packaging. This is a much better way to evaluate whether or not the packaging is good for the planet!

Hey, Green Junkie!

Jonathan Quinn is joining me on today’s podcast episode and I can’t wait for you to hear the conversation we had around plastic. 

It’s no secret that I hate plastic and if it were up to me, we’d pretty much never use it again. However, Jonathan is here to challenge my belief on plastic and really educate us all on (dare I say) the benefits and pros of plastic in our world. 

This was such a fun and enlightening convo and I can’t wait for you all to hear a different perspective on plastics.  

In this episode we will discuss, 

• The recycling life cycle aka the impact of recycling from start to finish 
• An alternative viewpoint to the use of plastics
• The great debate: Who is ultimately responsible for the plastics that are used to package products?
• Why properly recycling plastic is a vital part of our world economy
• Why the small wins matter

You’ll discover that and so much more in this episode.

If you love this podcast be sure to leave a review and share a screenshot of this episode to your IG stories. Tag @greenjunkiepodcast so I can shout you out and publicly say thanks. 

Thanks for listening and being here.

Your green bestie,

Xoxo Stephanie
