1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:13,173
Speaker 1: from News Talks, that'd be time.

3
00:00:13,053 --> 00:00:15,893
Speaker 2: To catch up with our sustainability expert Kate Hall is

4
00:00:15,933 --> 00:00:18,973
Speaker 2: always here giving us great practical tips on stuff we

5
00:00:19,053 --> 00:00:22,133
Speaker 2: can do that are never too painful to be just

6
00:00:22,173 --> 00:00:24,773
Speaker 2: a little bit more sustainable in our lives. Good morning,

7
00:00:25,293 --> 00:00:28,293
Speaker 2: What am I Jack? You have for us some hangout

8
00:00:28,333 --> 00:00:32,053
Speaker 2: ideas with mates that save you money and are sustainable.

9
00:00:32,133 --> 00:00:34,853
Speaker 2: So you are trying to catch up with your buddies

10
00:00:35,053 --> 00:00:38,013
Speaker 2: without going and spending an absolute bomb on a super

11
00:00:38,013 --> 00:00:39,973
Speaker 2: fancy dinner or anything like that, something that can be

12
00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:41,013
Speaker 2: a bit simpler.

13
00:00:41,293 --> 00:00:44,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. I think, you know, it's important to still

14
00:00:44,133 --> 00:00:47,893
Speaker 3: be social, but sometimes the thought of going out and

15
00:00:48,133 --> 00:00:50,413
Speaker 3: having to pay drinks and a meal or you know,

16
00:00:50,533 --> 00:00:51,973
Speaker 3: like all the kind of costs that come with it,

17
00:00:52,093 --> 00:00:55,653
Speaker 3: especially at the moment, can feel a bit overwhelming. And

18
00:00:55,693 --> 00:00:58,733
Speaker 3: there are so many particularly sustainable ways that we can

19
00:00:58,773 --> 00:01:00,893
Speaker 3: still gather and still have a lot of fun. I

20
00:01:00,933 --> 00:01:04,053
Speaker 3: would argue probably more fun at these ideas than just

21
00:01:04,093 --> 00:01:07,973
Speaker 3: sitting at a bar and kind of just so making

22
00:01:08,013 --> 00:01:08,813
Speaker 3: them small talk.

23
00:01:09,013 --> 00:01:11,333
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny, you know they always say with men

24
00:01:11,693 --> 00:01:13,653
Speaker 2: that men have to be doing stuff. I mean they

25
00:01:13,653 --> 00:01:15,013
Speaker 2: don't have to be, but you know, I mean, like

26
00:01:15,093 --> 00:01:18,293
Speaker 2: do stuff to socialize because they're not very good at

27
00:01:18,293 --> 00:01:20,533
Speaker 2: the kind of steering opposite each other over a long

28
00:01:20,573 --> 00:01:21,613
Speaker 2: black steering into each other.

29
00:01:23,053 --> 00:01:26,653
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, let's just go for a walk or something,

30
00:01:26,693 --> 00:01:28,573
Speaker 3: you know, like it. I feel like then you can

31
00:01:28,613 --> 00:01:31,373
Speaker 3: talk about something and yeah, that's right, you're like doing stuff.

32
00:01:31,453 --> 00:01:31,653
Speaker 2: Yeah.

33
00:01:31,733 --> 00:01:31,933
Speaker 1: Yeah.

34
00:01:31,973 --> 00:01:34,613
Speaker 2: Anyway, so you've got some great little practical ideas for

35
00:01:34,693 --> 00:01:36,693
Speaker 2: us this morning. Let's start off with a seed or

36
00:01:36,773 --> 00:01:37,693
Speaker 2: plants swap.

37
00:01:38,573 --> 00:01:42,173
Speaker 3: Yes, so everyone would bring a seeds, like a packet

38
00:01:42,253 --> 00:01:45,413
Speaker 3: of seeds, seedlings or cuttings. So you should bring like

39
00:01:45,533 --> 00:01:48,893
Speaker 3: cuttings from your house plants or some seedlings that you

40
00:01:48,893 --> 00:01:51,093
Speaker 3: know you've grown heaps and you've got some excess. So

41
00:01:51,453 --> 00:01:54,253
Speaker 3: you imagine if okay, let's say there's like ten people.

42
00:01:54,533 --> 00:01:59,493
Speaker 3: Imagine if you bring ten little seedlings of tomatoes, and

43
00:01:59,533 --> 00:02:02,933
Speaker 3: then you'd come home with ten seedlings, but of all

44
00:02:02,933 --> 00:02:06,853
Speaker 3: different varieties because they're bringing something different, so yeah, it

45
00:02:06,933 --> 00:02:09,733
Speaker 3: could be a really really fun one. Also a baking slop,

46
00:02:09,813 --> 00:02:14,053
Speaker 3: so the same idea, but you're bringing his favorite thing

47
00:02:14,093 --> 00:02:16,413
Speaker 3: that you like to bake. Then again, you go home

48
00:02:16,533 --> 00:02:20,493
Speaker 3: with a whole lot of different things from new flavors,

49
00:02:20,533 --> 00:02:23,093
Speaker 3: and you're not just left with like a bulk load

50
00:02:23,093 --> 00:02:24,093
Speaker 3: of brownie. Yeah.

51
00:02:24,213 --> 00:02:26,133
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah, I'm into that. It's

52
00:02:26,133 --> 00:02:28,133
Speaker 2: good and that could kind of work for other meals

53
00:02:28,133 --> 00:02:29,373
Speaker 2: as well, I suppose.

54
00:02:29,773 --> 00:02:32,893
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, exactly, I like the idea. I'm actually planning

55
00:02:32,893 --> 00:02:35,373
Speaker 3: on doing. This is my friend. So it's a meal

56
00:02:35,413 --> 00:02:38,573
Speaker 3: prep slop. So you imagine if you cook just one

57
00:02:38,653 --> 00:02:42,213
Speaker 3: big dish. So like Tim and I really like making nachos.

58
00:02:42,253 --> 00:02:45,013
Speaker 3: So if you just bulk make a whole of nachos,

59
00:02:45,333 --> 00:02:49,053
Speaker 3: put them in little portion containers and bring them to

60
00:02:49,173 --> 00:02:52,493
Speaker 3: your meal crip party if you want to call it,

61
00:02:53,053 --> 00:02:55,493
Speaker 3: and then you come home with all sorts of different

62
00:02:55,493 --> 00:02:58,053
Speaker 3: meals and so you've got like a whole variety and

63
00:02:58,093 --> 00:03:00,413
Speaker 3: you haven't had to make everything or go out and

64
00:03:00,413 --> 00:03:02,853
Speaker 3: get all the ingredients. And yeah, you've got a whole

65
00:03:02,853 --> 00:03:04,693
Speaker 3: lot of different meals for your fridge or freezer.

66
00:03:04,933 --> 00:03:07,293
Speaker 2: Yeah that's a really good idea. You could just do

67
00:03:07,373 --> 00:03:10,093
Speaker 2: like a let say you did a massive lasagne or yeah,

68
00:03:10,213 --> 00:03:11,733
Speaker 2: you don't want to mak a Lasania, but you know

69
00:03:11,813 --> 00:03:13,573
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like you could do you could just

70
00:03:13,573 --> 00:03:15,733
Speaker 2: do a really big batch and then you could actually

71
00:03:15,813 --> 00:03:17,533
Speaker 2: end up with five different meals if you did a

72
00:03:17,533 --> 00:03:21,453
Speaker 2: really Yeah, that's cunning. I'm into that you can do

73
00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:23,733
Speaker 2: the same kind of swap when it comes to clothes.

74
00:03:24,413 --> 00:03:27,413
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I think people have likely heard of clothing

75
00:03:27,453 --> 00:03:30,933
Speaker 3: stop and so yeah, you bring a whole bunch of

76
00:03:30,973 --> 00:03:35,173
Speaker 3: clothes you no longer want, and that's less less like

77
00:03:36,053 --> 00:03:38,893
Speaker 3: the baking and meal one when you kind of bring

78
00:03:38,973 --> 00:03:41,453
Speaker 3: sort of portions. But I've seen clothing stops at best

79
00:03:41,493 --> 00:03:43,973
Speaker 3: when you just bring kind of all the clothes that

80
00:03:44,013 --> 00:03:47,533
Speaker 3: you don't need that you think so different people coming

81
00:03:47,573 --> 00:03:50,213
Speaker 3: to the party, and then anything that you no one

82
00:03:50,293 --> 00:03:52,493
Speaker 3: kind of takes home that nothing finds a home. You

83
00:03:52,493 --> 00:03:53,813
Speaker 3: can donate to the upshop.

84
00:03:54,373 --> 00:03:59,053
Speaker 2: Nice and the swat theme continues for things from your pantry.

85
00:03:59,173 --> 00:03:59,373
Speaker 1: Yep.

86
00:03:59,453 --> 00:04:02,693
Speaker 3: I've seen some awesome slop parties of people bring like

87
00:04:03,173 --> 00:04:06,813
Speaker 3: jams and chutney, the sourdough starters, you know, like any

88
00:04:06,853 --> 00:04:09,173
Speaker 3: different things like these ex reps. I really love making

89
00:04:09,173 --> 00:04:12,413
Speaker 3: these x reps. So again, it's like using everyone's different

90
00:04:12,453 --> 00:04:16,933
Speaker 3: skills to do something you know you love but do yeah,

91
00:04:17,013 --> 00:04:20,573
Speaker 3: like a home goods slop. You can even do like

92
00:04:21,173 --> 00:04:23,733
Speaker 3: things around your house that you no longer love, or

93
00:04:23,853 --> 00:04:26,613
Speaker 3: you know, like homedake or just get yeah, get creatives,

94
00:04:26,613 --> 00:04:28,533
Speaker 3: and it could be so much fun and actually be.

95
00:04:28,733 --> 00:04:30,973
Speaker 2: Quite a last yeah, and a great way to socialize

96
00:04:31,013 --> 00:04:33,533
Speaker 2: while kind of saving money as well. And I suppose

97
00:04:34,133 --> 00:04:36,933
Speaker 2: like there's something about that kind of shared experience thing

98
00:04:37,013 --> 00:04:39,533
Speaker 2: too that actually I don't want to get too like

99
00:04:39,573 --> 00:04:42,173
Speaker 2: grandiose on this, but it can kind of actually helps

100
00:04:42,173 --> 00:04:43,093
Speaker 2: to forge connections.

101
00:04:43,173 --> 00:04:47,053
Speaker 3: Ah, yeah exactly, And it's part of like community resilience

102
00:04:47,093 --> 00:04:50,213
Speaker 3: as well, that you you know, you're kind of connecting,

103
00:04:50,253 --> 00:04:53,573
Speaker 3: you're sharing skills, you're not just sharing drinks. You know,

104
00:04:53,653 --> 00:04:56,253
Speaker 3: you're kind of you have someone to talk about, and

105
00:04:56,413 --> 00:04:58,733
Speaker 3: you get to know your friends much more too, because

106
00:04:59,053 --> 00:05:00,213
Speaker 3: you're like, yeah.

107
00:05:00,213 --> 00:05:02,573
Speaker 2: You're you're talking about the things you're going to be labor.

108
00:05:02,693 --> 00:05:04,533
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, you can talk about the things that you're

109
00:05:04,533 --> 00:05:06,253
Speaker 2: going to be wrapping in Kate's beeswax.

110
00:05:07,253 --> 00:05:08,013
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly.

111
00:05:09,013 --> 00:05:11,133
Speaker 2: That's a really good idea. No, I'm into it. I

112
00:05:11,133 --> 00:05:12,533
Speaker 2: think it's a really good idea. I guess you could

113
00:05:12,533 --> 00:05:13,533
Speaker 2: call them swat parties.

114
00:05:14,253 --> 00:05:18,133
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly right, you can stop anything really Yeah, very good.
