Will it be the best podcast you’ve ever heard? Probably not. But will you find it funny and endearing? Also probably not.

Customer Reviews
Challenge Yourself!
I love the weekly challenges April and Sam do to push themselves to try more sustainable options for everyday life. Learning more about what we can do to be kind to the planet is so important. Enjoy the banter and candidness of this podcast!
LizzardYum
You put a fun slant on an overwhelming topic. I learn several things each episode even though I’ve been striving to walk lightly on the planet for more than 48 years. It’s good to talk about the challenges and feel comforted that others are trying and learning with me!
Refreshing
It is so nice to hear real people discuss environmental concerns in a way that I can relate to. Hearing about the challenges that other concerned citizens face, when it comes to what we can do to help make a difference, is motivating and it makes me feel like I am not alone. If we can discuss these topics together then we can figure out the solutions together. Great podcast!
