Join me as I discuss reducing household plastic dependence with @me.motherearthbrand founder, Amanda Runkle. Amanda shares her journey of starting the business and the challenges of finding sustainable products. We discuss the issue of greenwashing and the importance of making small changes to reduce plastic waste. Amanda highlights some easy swaps that individuals can make in their households, such as using reusable towels and switching to liquid castile soap. ME Mother Earth offers a one-stop shop for sustainable and plastic-free products, taking care of ingredients, packaging, and shipping. Her online store prioritizes quality, sourcing, and research to provide customers with confidence in their purchases. As a small business, she's faced challenges in finding manufacturers and packaging solutions that align with her values. Patience and perseverance were key in the process of launching ME Mother Earth. Supporting small businesses like ME Mother Earth not only benefits the planet but also promotes mindful consumption and reduces waste. We discuss how free returns contribute to waste and are not truly free, as the cost is often borne by the vendor as well as the earth because returned items often can't be resold resulting in waste that goes to landfill. Making sustainable choices is a journey, and ME Mother Earth provides resources and support to help consumers as they make the switch.
