87. Fearlessly Failing - The Plastic Free Mermaid aka Kate Nelson

<p><strong>Kate Nelson AKA The&nbsp;Plastic&nbsp;Free&nbsp;Mermaid</strong></p><p>I learnt so much in todays episode: Kate Nelson AKA the&nbsp;Plastic&nbsp;Free&nbsp;Mermaid&nbsp;talked all things&nbsp;plastic&nbsp;pollution, DIY ideas and simple ways we can all make a difference. Kate has been&nbsp;free&nbsp;of using single use&nbsp;plastics for almost 11 years now! We talked about micro-plastics, micro-fibres and even the oestrogens in&nbsp;plastics that our bodies absorb. To be completely honest with you, a lot of this was new to me so I cant thank Kate enough for taking the time to break down and explain what’s really going on. We talked about feeling overwhelmed with failing to be environmentally conscious too, and she said that failure is part of change so it can be a good thing. You’ll also herd us nerd out about Orca whales! Kate thank you so much for sharing yourself and your whole value system on this podcast, my mind and heart has expanded as a result. #plasticfreemermaid #fearlesslyfailing #podcast</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you want to learn more about Kate check out her website:&nbsp;<a href="https://iquitplastics.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://iquitplastics.com/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here’s her insta page for lots of hand DIY recipes and tips:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/plasticfreemermaid/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/plasticfreemermaid/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here’s her youtube page for great information and ways you can help reduce your&nbsp;plastic&nbsp;consumption:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/PlasticFreeMermaid/null" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/c/PlasticFreeMermaid/null</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Kate also has an online course: 7 days&nbsp;plastic&nbsp;free, you can check that out here:&nbsp;<a href="https://iquitplastics.com/shop/7-days" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://iquitplastics.com/shop/7-days</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And of course her book&nbsp;<em>I Qui
