This is Part 2 of the conversation with Neil Mclatchie (you can listen to Part 1 here) where we find out how he got on with his challenge. Did he manage to use re-usable coffee cups for a month, and what did he learn in the process?

We also talk about another massive personal transformation that Neil is currently going through regarding his career and identity as a Psychologist. Indeed, it is time for the experimenter to experiment on himself!

Highlights in this episode:

• What should you say to people who tell you that one person can't make a difference to the environment?
• The 8/10 Starbucks coffee alternative
• The hidden maths of ecological alternatives plastic straws versus metal straws
• How to double your environmental impact
• The plastic documentaries that opened our eyes - The Story of Plastic and The War on Plastic
• Autopilot versus memento mori
• What it takes to truly embody a philosophy
• Breaking out of the mould of your identity
• How other people's perceptions can keep you stuck

I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode. Come on over to my new Facebook page to say hi! Let me know what resonated with you and if you will do anything differently. And I cannot wait to come back to you in a few months with the answer to the question; "if no one has done does that mean it's a dumb thing to do?!"
