Buy Nothing Day Special Pt. 1 | Featuring Kathryn Kellogg of Going Zero Waste

Herbal Radio

This week on Everything You Didn’t Know About Herbalism, we’re releasing a very special episode in acknowledgment of the annual Buy Nothing Day movement with the author, influencer, and Founder of Going Zero Waste, Kathryn Kellogg. Listen in as Kathryn and Thomas discuss what it truly means to be zero-waste, the problem with mass consumerism and its negative effects on environmental and mental health, and the importance and impact of the ever-growing Buy Nothing Day movement. Stay tuned next week for part two of this series where we are joined by another esteemed leader within the zero-waste lifestyle movement!

As always, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure and are honored to have you tag along with us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you! Your questions, ideas, and who you want to hear from are invaluable to our podcast. Please send us an email at [e-mail] to let us know what solutions we should uncover next within the vast world of herbalism.

What is Buy Nothing Day you ask? Well, please allow us to explain!

Buy Nothing Day is our annually celebrated tradition in protest of Black Friday. In making this stand, we are joining tens of thousands of people across 65 nations for an international day of protest against mass consumerism and the throw-away culture that accompanies it. The Buy Nothing Movement has been growing since 1992 as overconsumption continues to consume our precious natural resources faster than we can replace them, putting our planet in real jeopardy.

If you visit our website today, you will see that our entire website is blacked out in protest of Black Friday. Instead, we hope you will spend the day with your family and friends, sharing acts of kindness, discovering new zero-waste lifestyle tips from the Going Zero Waste Blog, listening to your favorite podcast (bonus points if it’s this one!), or better yet, all of the above! This is a day to reach for meaning in our lives instead of stuff, and we thank you all for being part of the solution to reestablish a symbiotic relationship with the planet we call home. So please, do not shop with us today Friday, November 29th, 2024.
