52 Simple Sustainability Hacks for 2025 - Summer
About this episode
This week I’m sharing part of our summer series - 12 simple sustainability tips (numbers 27–38) that are easy to action even when you’re in holiday mode. From switching your search engine to Ecosia, to skipping the lawnmower, there are plenty of small changes that make a big difference.
We’re covering everything from flea treatments and sunscreen to eco-friendly ways to host a party and travel during summer. I also touch on why the “eco” setting on your washing machine isn’t just good - it’s legally required to be the most efficient.
Have a listen and let me know which one you’re going to try first. The full list and links are in the show notes - happy summer greening!
