Life. The World. And Everything in Between Kelley McVay

The World and Everything in Between feature highly in this week's episode as Kelley continues her travels in Peru and has an interesting experience staying at an eco-friendly hotel.

We talk about our lives and our personal sustainability as it pertains to the week that was.

Grab a cuppa and join us for the season finale of Life. The World. And Everything in Between.

We'll be returning in late October, 2021 for more conversations from our different parts of the globe on circular economy, urban environments, how to get people 'on board' with eco-friendly action and plenty more. See you then!

Sarah flies solo on this episode, whilst Kelley's on an adventure in the world. Zero Waste is the topic of discussion for what it means and some takeaways on how to do it that are easy to embrace.

Kelley shares about her final week of Plastic Free July and some additional conversations she had with businesses to reduce her plastic footprint.

Sarah shared how her July ended with a live video interview with another environmental advocate, in Cambodia, and why the Cambodia connection is so important for July. Which is why she was raising money for 3 incredible organisations in Cambodia as part of her Plastic Free July activities.

Sarah is also doing a talk on August 16th if you are interested to join, it will be live on this page in the coming days: https://seedspaces.com/events/

As we're halfway through season one of the podcast, we also talk about what's coming up for the remainder of the season, which will be conversations about the UN Sustainable Development Goals, their overarching themes and what they mean to each of us and how we work.
