Green Girls: Recent Episodes
GreenGirls
Join Chloe and Mikaela for a podcast about the struggles of being green and the steps we take to lead a more conscious lifestyle. We are far from perfect (and like dad jokes far too much) but we want to take you with us on our journey.
You may remember our previous episode all about RedCycle pausing and well... today we have an update we aren't sure you're going to like. Today Mikaela fills us in on all the news and what the future of soft plastic recycling could be in Australia, while Chloe shares a little about alternative packaging materials and tries to ignore having a cold.

Continue the conversation with us over on Instagram and let us know how you, or your workplace, make the place a little greener.
