This kid.❤️ Not the fastest, sportiest, coord This kid.❤️

Not the fastest, sportiest, coordinated or most agile.

But he's the first to try new things and he gives his all. 

For the record he clicked the slowest time in the kids ninja warrior course while camping last weekend.

Three times in a row.

But he dusted himself off and tried again in order to beat his own time, not at all fazed by his young brother and friends who were lightning quick. 

Our kids are our best teachers and I learn from mine every day.

Stay in *your* lane folks.

What lesson/s have your kids taught you lately?

If you're looking for educational sustainability b If you're looking for educational sustainability books for the children in your life, you're in the right place! On Eco Chat this week I'm joined by Patricia Newman, author of several educational books on environmental and social justice issues.

Patricia released her latest book, Planet Ocean, earlier this month to much acclaim. It's currently #1 on Amazon in Australia's Children's category.

Check out my latest Eco Chat podcast episode to hear Patricia share what led her to write Planet Ocean, why we need to stop thinking of ourselves as existing separate from the ocean and how to start taking better care of this precious resource.

If you're looking for an Internet search engine th If you're looking for an Internet search engine that gives back, look no further than Ecosia. Ecosia is, quite literally, the search engine that plants trees.

Ecosia donates 80% of its profits to non-profit organisations that focus on reforestation, is CO2 negative, supports financial transparency and protects the privacy of its users.

In my latest Eco Chat podcast episode I'm chatting with Hannah Wickes to hear how Ecosia came about, how the platform works and how you can easily make the switch to ensure your 
web surfing is creating change for good.

If you're looking for commercial cleaning products If you're looking for commercial cleaning products that are toxin free, plastic free, perform well and are made in Australia by a social enterprise employing people with disabilities, you'll want to tune into my latest Eco Chat podcast.

I'm chatting with my friend Pearl Chan from @Resparkle and we not only dive into the amazing cleaning products she's pioneered that are plastic free, waste free and toxin free (think concentrated powders that come in a home-compostable sachet that you simply add water to form the cleaning product), we chat about her business journey from corporate banker to sustainability leader and how she's overcome the many obstacles along the way.

If you're after a positive eco business story this is a must listen.

At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic Pearl's products flew off the shelves and she found herself out of stock for customers hungry for eco cleaning products. With supply lines disrupted she was forced with the very real need to innovate and pivot quickly.
The result was a win for sustainability, local employment and her business mission to create a plastic-free future.

Check out my latest podcast at lauratrotta.com/resparkle (link in bio) to hear how you can clean your home plastic and toxin free with Resparkle.

At the end of my life I want to be able to tell my kids that I did all I could do for the Earth and my children.... because the two aren't mutally exclusive.
