About this episode

Raising a baby is hard. It’s even harder if you decide to do it without using anything that goes into landfill, like wipes or disposable nappies. But, this is the challenge that Veronica Milsom and her newborn, Zoe, have set themselves in order to do their bit for the environment. And the more they learn about zero waste living, the more they realise this journey will be VERY hard and will definitely involve some literal blood, sweat and tears.

Host: Veronica Milsom, Guest: ABC War on Waste's Craig Reucassel
