There are over 85,000 chemicals approved for use in personal care products and fewer than 200 of those have been tested for safety. Carly Hartwig is a home-birth mother of one,  Instagram influencer @cleanlivingwithcarly, and soon-to-be certified endocrine wellness and fertility counselor. Her passion for clean living grew out of her own hormonal havoc when she was told in her twenties she had the hormonal landscape of a post-menopausal woman. She soon realized the products she was using daily in her skincare, make-up and household routines were compromising her health and hormones. After eliminating the most common culprits of toxic living such as heavy metals, Pthalates, and Bisphenols, her health was beautifully restored. Today, she is here to educate us on the lack of FDA-regulation when it comes to the personal-care and household-product industries in the Unites States. She also shares some of the primary sources of endocrine disruptors, teaches how to swap the toxic for clean-and-green products, and explains why this is critical for all mothers who are pregnant or trying to conceive. This episode will have you going "Marie Kondo" on everything in your bathroom, pantry, laundry room, and cleaning products, so get ready for clean living with Carly!

Raise your hand if you remember a cabinet in your parent’s kitchen filled with bottles embellished with Mr. Yuk stickers. And we knew whatever brightly colored liquids in those bottles were not safe, to drink, to touch, to smell, or just generally be around. And that instilled the tradition to keep that cabinet on lockdown for each generation to follow.

We had a cabinet of cleaning supplies, which was dangerous and we should not be near it.

Wait...What?!

Show Notes

www.startingsustainability.com Let's take the time to look back over the past year and analyze the challenges of "going green" during the COVID pandemic and how difficult is was to maintain or even begin a more sustainable lifestyle in a time of masks, restrictions on reusables and recycling, and increased demand for delivery and shipping services. The guest for this episode is Jonathan Soroff who is a staff writer at Boston Magazine. He wrote an article discussing his struggles and observations of "going green" during a pandemic and I wanted him on the show to share his experiences. Read his article here: https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2021/01/21/covid-environment/

Welcome to the very first episode of Later Waste, a podcast to aid in your journey towards a natural and sustainable lifestyle.

In this episode, I introduce myself and set your expectations for this podcast.

Sustainability is extra top-of-mind with Earth Day this week, and in the past year alone, we’ve seen just how huge an impact our small actions can have on the environment. (Seriously, just watch David Attenborough’s new doc…in just a few weeks after lockdown, air pollution cleared so much in Jalandhar, India, that the snowy peaks of the Himalayas were visible for the FIRST TIME IN THREE DECADES!) 

We’ve really wanted to improve our carbon footprints and become more eco-conscious, so in this week’s quickie, we’re giving you 12 easy tips for going green that you can implement around your kitchen, living room, bathroom, closet, shopping habits, and outdoor space to live a more sustainable life. 

Listen to this week’s chat to learn more about:

• The impact you can make by substituting plant-based alternatives a few times a week
• The scoop on what you can and can’t put in the recycle, garbage and green bin
• Sustainable food storage tips we learned from our Grandmas
• How to reduce your waste when grocery shopping
• Reducing your kitchen waste (i.e. eco-friendly swaps for paper towels!) 
• Buying second hand furniture and Gill’s tips for upcycling your home decor
• The impact you can make by switching to LED lights
• The environmental, health & financial benefits of DIY cleaning products
• How switching to a safety razor can save you $5,000!
• The dirty truth behind fast fashion & enviro-friendly clothing brands we love
• How to revive, repurpose or sell clothes you no longer love
• How to start a garden and grow your own food, even if you don’t have a backyard/balcony

We hope this helps you make some simple swaps and changes in your life that will make a big difference for our beautiful planet!
