About this episode

Can a toy-hoarding toddler learn to live as a minimalist? That’s one of many strange questions Veronica Milsom asks herself as she attempts to stop the stream of plastic gifts piling up in her house and starts trying to teach her 2 year old Lila to embrace minimalism. With advice from eco-mum and musician Kita Alexander, and a practical lesson from KonMarie Consultant and Marie Kondo enthusiast Pilar LLorente, Veronica attempts to help her family on their Zero Waste way by decluttering the plastic junk accumulating in her house.

Host: Veronica Milsom   Guests: Kita Alexander, Pilar LLorente, Anita Vandyke
