We are back and we kick off season two with a talk about sustainability, leadership.

In this episode I talk to Laura Storm. Laura is my friend, inspiration and, in May, also my partner as we open the ‘doors’ to a retreat we’ve called ‘Rewilding yourself in the Workplace’.

In our talk we take a journey back to where we began moving away from nature and it’s intelligence and more importantly - where we stopped seeing ourselves as nature, a part of this eco-system. Laura talks to how we can take leadership, a new definition of efficiency and creating a language for tapping into nature’s intelligence.

Laura is a wealth of knowledge! This is one to listen to.

Listen in on our conversation here:

I interviewed Bea for the first time four years ago. At that time zero waste was beginning to grow. Today it is not only for the *fanatics* who like? to chill, it is becoming a well known and even more importantly - integratable life style. In our family we are still not close to zero Waste. But we have made many changes and are working our way there slowly.

As you will hear Bea talk about the 5 R's, I know where I still feel challenged - the refuse one. We don't buy a lot. But we say yes to way too much stuff we don't need.

I feel fueled and filled again with inspiration after speaking to her. And even though you may not feel called to go *all the way*, I guarantee you will be called to make a few changes in your home. If we all did just a fraction of what she is doing, I can hardly imagine how it could shift things around.

The 5 R’s:
Refuse

Reuse

Reduce

Recycle

Rot
