Ep 1: What it's all about
The podcast where Sarah (in Sydney, Australia) and Kelley (in small-town America... Greensburg, Pennsylvania.) discuss their lives and everything that exists in the world (those 15509 km /9637 miles) between. In this episode we reminisce about the journeys that took each of us to Cambodia, and how we met in Siem Reap in 2017. After seeing each other again in Sydney in March 2020 (!), we've spoken weekly since, sharing our lives, the interesting differences between Greensburg, Sydney and Siem Reap and about our passion for sustainability. We invite you in to these conversations and hope you'll be inspired, learn a thing or two, and perhaps share your stories with us too. Season one of the podcast is dedicated to Plastic Free July, a campaign that began in Australia in 2011, that Sarah adopted and reshaped for her audience in Southeast Asia and now Australia. Throughout July, Sarah will guide Kelley through how to 'do' Plastic Free July, sharing tips, tactics and answering questions that Kelley has throughout the month in her quest to avoid single-use plastics in her day-to-day life for 31 days.
