On this episode we talk to Amanda Runkle and Jessica Paschkes, two wonderful women with green businesses, which focus on eliminating wasteful products by providing items you can swap with to reduce single use plastics. Amanda formed a company called Me Mother Earth Brand, which has a line of eco-friendly products that simplify our lives and reduce plastic waste— especially with products we use everyday. Jessica started the Refillery Shop, which is the first Zero Waste Eco-Shop in Northern Westchester, NY. The goal is to stop single use plastic and raise awareness of the need to take individual action to use less plastic, by refilling household and personal products instead of buying new products in containers that are for single use and are very wasteful.
