A beautiful share from Zero Waste Family Mama, Fredrika, as she speaks with @locallywell on their podcast #wellnessinsandiego 💜
We love Fredrika because she keeps it real and is such a loving and authentic woman! She loves her husband @the.zero.waste.dad and her 3 children very much!
Zero waste living started as small individual steps and quickly became a full functioning lifestyle!
You can do it too! Choose one item in your home that you are getting low on, and think about how you can replace it with a more sustainable solution… Head to your local refill store, use glass bottles that are easy to refill, get a reusable water bottle… And so much more!!
