Welcome to The Guilty Greenie
Join hosts Cait Bagby, seasoned sustainability writer and storyteller and Sarah Ferris true crime podcaster and a very green around the gills greenie - (read “Cait’s guinea pig!”)
Ever feel that if you’re not living in a cave, hand spinning the wool from your hand reared, yet free ranging llamas you’re pooping all over this glorious planet. Then you're not alone!
We want to get real for a minute and focus on what we can achieve because we have no intention of moving into a cave, we sure as hell can't spin any wool…… but we probably wouldn't say no to a few llamas!
We are tired of perfectionism in trying to live more sustainably. So we're here to chat about our own guilt, share our own journeys and just add a bit of levity in our attempts and fails to be more eco friendly.
And it’s fair to say that the failures will often outweigh the successes. We are going to share our own journeys, the good, the bad, and probably the laughable as well.
If you, like Sarah, don’t know your carbon footprint from your tennis elbow but know you can do better for this gorgeous planet that we are crapping all over then you have met your tribe!
And stay tuned for Cait’s challenge of the week, will it end in sunshine and rainbows or be a damp catastrophic wash out?

GREENPATHY
BONUS EPISODE 2: GREENPATHY
Empathy for a river? Is that the way forward?
In this episode, Cait sits down with Troy Jackson, (MSS, LSW Licensed Social Worker/Therapist) to learn about how empathy could shift our perspectives on climate change and lead to positive outcomes.
“It's funny, I'm walking the dogs this morning. I'm looking up in the sky with the planes going by. I'm enjoying it. When I walk at night, I'm looking at the stars. I'm just lucky in that way, that sometimes I can tune into that, not all the time but sometimes.”
Could creating a better future really be as simple as looking at the stars?
We find out in “Can Empathy Save Us”

Customer Reviews
A breath of fresh air
Delightful and informative. I never realized how effortless implementing sustainable practices in my day to day could be. Love the weekly challenges. Please keep making these.
Fun, Informational
Guilty Greenie is a really easy and fun listen that doesn’t skimp on information. I thought it was going to be another climate podcast that doesn’t address how consumers can take part - I was wrong. Sarah and Cait provide a great overview of the issues at hand by sharing their own experiences which I can definitely relate to, digging into the data, providing weekly challenges and also giving the listener a great jumping off point to learn more.
Not Alone
I love this podcast! For so long I’ve been feeling anxiety about my not so good carbon footprint, and climate change in general. After listening to Guilty Greenie I realized that I’m not alone in my anxieties, and that I can actually do little things here and there to help the planet! Thank you Cait and Sarah for creating a wonderful podcast filled with lovely banter and manageable action items which keep my eco-anxieties at bay.
