• Bhagyashree Jain: Budget-Friendly Eco Cleaning — Greener, Cleaner Home | On the House #53
    May 23 2024
    Keeping the home clean while being mindful of our environmental footprint and our wallets is a far easier task said than done. So, this week on On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast, host Gabriella Jourstra picks the brain of Bhagyashree Jain, founder of The Disposal Company. Passionate about community engagement and fair representation, Bhagyashree is invested in building partnerships that systematically solve for the global waste crisis. She helps brands & corporates become ESG compliant while also incorporating sustainability into their brand marketing strategies. In this episode, Bhagyashree notes that the main principles of sustainable cleaning involve minimizing waste or excessive usage of products, such as dishwashing detergent, alongside using non-harmful or toxic cleaners. That aside, she shares that the most common challenges of sustainable cleaning arise from a lack of knowledge and awareness, as well as inaccessibility, cost, and difficulties with adapting. Together, Gabriella and Bhagyashree discuss major misconceptions such as eco-friendly products being less effective than regular cleaning products, alongside common chemicals in household cleaning products that can exacerbate health issues like asthma, dermatitis, and sensory irritation. So, grab a broom and tune in to this episode for an enlightening episode that will, hopefully, impart more confidence onto your eco-friendly cleaning endeavors!

    Mar 28 2024
    Sustainable cooking isn’t just about saving the planet; it’s about savoring every morsel with intentionality. This week on On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast, host Gabriella Jourstra picks the brain of Tammara Soma, an assistant professor at Simon Fraser University’s School of Resource and Environmental Management. With a research focus on food system planning, community-based research, waste management, and the circular economy, Tammara’s expertise transcends academia, making waves in media outlets such as the BBC, Huffington Post, and the like. Her extensive research, publications, and prestigious awards underscore her commitment to reshaping public perception of food consumption and waste management on a global scale. In this episode, Tammara asserts that through efficient meal planning, embracing seasonal and local ingredients, and making the most of every part of our food, we are able to nourish ourselves while reducing ecological footprint. She illustrates the rising concept of ‘zero-waste cooking’, pointing to easily adoptable habits like reusing food scraps, reusable containers, and smaller portions as viable ways to implement it in our daily lives. Tammara also reveals that she doesn’t peel her vegetables, not out of neglect, but to reduce waste and boost nutrients. Together, Gabriella and Tammara explore the intersection between technology and sustainable cooking, from traditional preservation methods like canning and freezing, to cutting-edge solutions that optimize efficiency and minimize waste. So, grab your aprons and tune in for a culinary adventure that not only tickles the taste buds, but also nurtures the planet!
