  • Summary

  • Welcome to The Guilty Greenie Join hosts Cait Bagby, seasoned sustainability writer and storyteller and Sarah Ferris true crime podcaster and a very green around the gills greenie - (read “Cait’s guinea pig!”) Ever feel that if you’re not living in a cave, hand spinning the wool from your hand reared, yet free ranging llamas you’re pooping all over this glorious planet. Then you're not alone! We want to get real for a minute and focus on what we can achieve because we have no intention of moving into a cave, we sure as hell can't spin any wool…… but we probably wouldn't say no to a few llamas! ​​We are tired of perfectionism in trying to live more sustainably. So we're here to chat about our own guilt, share our own journeys and just add a bit of levity in our attempts and fails to be more eco friendly. And it’s fair to say that the failures will often outweigh the successes. We are going to share our own journeys, the good, the bad, and probably the laughable as well. If you, like Sarah, don’t know your carbon footprint from your tennis elbow but know you can do better for this gorgeous planet that we are crapping all over then you have met your tribe! And stay tuned for Cait’s challenge of the week, will it end in sunshine and rainbows or be a damp catastrophic wash out?

    Episode Title: Swish or Spit - The Environmental Impact of Wine Production Hosts: Cait Bagby - Climate content creator and sustainable storyteller. Sarah Ferris - A self-proclaimed "green around the gills" Greenie, navigating the complexities of sustainable living. Episode Summary: In this episode, Cait and Sarah dive into the world of wine to explore its environmental footprint. Whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur or just enjoy an occasional glass, this episode sheds light on the growing impact of climate change on vineyards, how production is shifting, and how sustainable practices are evolving in the wine industry. The hosts break down the differences between conventional, organic, biodynamic, and natural wines, and they even challenge you to rethink your wine choices. Key Topics Discussed: Wine consumption trends and global production. The effect of climate change on wine quality, growing cycles, and vineyard locations. Conventional vs. organic vs. biodynamic farming methods: pros, cons, and the environmental impact of each. The emergence of "natural" wine and its minimal-intervention production process. Fun wine facts, like how many grapes are in a bottle of wine (hint: it’s a lot!). The challenge: Sarah embarks on a taste test to see if she can tell the difference between conventional and organic wines. Challenge of the Week: Sarah takes on a taste test challenge to compare conventional and organic/biodynamic wines and determine if there’s a discernible difference in taste. Can she taste the difference? Tune in to find out! Resources Mentioned: Look for USDA Organic or DEMETER-certified labels when choosing your wine to support sustainable practices. Watch for eco-friendly wine practices like using ducks for pest control and moving vineyards to climate-friendly areas. Learn more about the environmental and social implications of wine production. Stay Tuned For: In the next episode, Cait and Sarah discuss what to do with all those empty wine bottles, exploring the glass recycling industry and more sustainable ways to dispose of or repurpose your bottles.

From minimizing electricity usage and refining our recycling habits to choosing fresh meals over processed foods, we share our strategies, successes, and the occasional slip-up. **Beyond Calculators: Unveiling Corporate Greenwashing** A surprising twist in our journey was uncovering the truth behind carbon calculators. Initially marketed by corporations to shift the blame for environmental degradation onto individuals, we discuss how this realization influenced our approach to sustainable living and our challenge. **Lifestyle Changes and Eco-Friendly Insights** Reflecting on our eco-friendly challenge, we share the adjustments we made around our homes and the broader impact these changes have had on our daily routines. Learn how small, mindful actions can contribute to a significant decrease in one's carbon footprint. **Up Next: Wine Tasting with an Eco-Friendly Twist** As we wrap up this episode, we introduce the next challenge that puts a sustainable spin on wine tasting. Sarah will explore the environmental nuances between conventional and organic/biodynamic wines, promising another engaging and educational episode. **Join Our Eco-Friendly Journey** We're not just here to talk; we're here to make a difference.
