Heather and Brittany talk to Addie Fisher of Old World New about imperfect sustainability, and making more sustainable and Earth friendly choices in your home. There is a misconception that in order to be sustainable, your behaviors and actions need to be so 100% of the time. Addie shares how to strike the balance between sustainable and perfect, small changes you can make now, and actionable ways to advocate for change.
