Little Hands, Big Impact: Easy Ways to Reduce Waste at Home
If you’ve ever looked at the overflowing trash after a birthday party and thought, “There has to be a better way,” you’re not alone.
Laura Dobos has been there too—and like many parents, she wanted something simpler, less wasteful, and more aligned with the future she’s building for her kids.
In this conversation, Laura will share practical ways to reduce waste at home without adding more to your already full plate. We’ll talk about what can actually be recycled, how to handle tricky materials like snack wrappers and shipping packaging, and how to make parties more planet-friendly without losing the fun.
You’ll leave with simple ideas to cut back on waste and helpful ways to get your kids involved—so they’re learning to care for the earth right alongside you.
This isn’t about doing it all perfectly. It’s about making small changes that feel good—and teaching our kids that little hands really can make a big impact.
