Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 30th
The year is coming to a close, people are desperately trying to get business completed before the year ends, and this can cause some unknowing disrespect. I know you are in a hurry to get those last deals in or set up your clients for the coming year, but, please, pay attention to the people you are dealing with now and do not jerk them around.
Time management, pace your selves, put aside things that can wait, and be in the present of the gift of now. Not everything has be done right now, and you missing appointments can cause stress on those who could have put someone in your place. So folks, so respect, doing only what is necessary right now and plan for the year to come in a nonstressful way.
Christmas shopping, it can be fun or hell, and that all depends on if you are have patience and ready for the delays. Don’t fight for the parking spot, don’t push your way in, be mindful everything will take longer so plan ahead. Buy locally and celebrate safely, we are still in a pandemic and we want this over, so let us all do our part.
Here in BC Canada with all the floods, we are not going to receive our gifts in time, delays in shipping and shortages of goods will affect our gift-giving. So take a pic of what you are giving and if it does not arrive on time, give the picture with its on its way.
Look at gifting in a loved ones/friends name, a donation to an organization/charity that needs it, so many are in need right now. Don’t forget that a gift of time, unconditional time can be the greatest gift of all.
BE KIND, HAVE PATIENCE, PLAN, AND BE RESPECTFUL, FOR WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Stephanie Miller, on air from November 22nd
Five “Key” tips towards keeping the amount of waste down during Thanksgiving What is the 80-20 rule to avoid plastic and food waste? What are easy and affordable things we can all do now to help our planet? How can we recycle better? How do festivities like Thanksgiving offer us the opportunity to deal with food waste?
Having spent my career looking for solutions to climate challenges at a macro level, I began to question what could be done at the individual level. I wondered how I could have more of an impact, or perhaps less of an impact (!) by reducing my personal carbon and waste footprint. The questions I began to look at were: What can we– as individuals– do to reverse the current climate and waste crises? Could individual actions have a ripple effect that could lead to systemic change? If so, how could busy people make the necessary changes?
This led to my own personal experiment to see how I could create a zero waste lifestyle. I researched exhaustively, talked with prominent waste and plastics specialists, visited recycling facilities in my region, presented ideas and recommendations in my local community, and began advising others on how they could implement simple but important changes.
What I concluded from my research and my engagement in the community is that you don’t have to do everything under the sun to make a huge difference. My journey led me to the simplicity of the 80/20 rule. By focusing on those things (the 20%) that can make the biggest (80%) difference, every individual can make a real and sustainable impact. And I’m convinced that, collectively—through our daily actions and consumer choices—we can create cleaner air, cleaner oceans and mitigate climate change.
Stephanie believes we all can make a few relatively easy lifestyle changes and create a significant positive impact by using the simplicity of the 80/20 rule, which she follows personally. She has done a lot of research to understand what actions would make the most significant difference and be easy to incorporate into a busy lifestyle and settled on three areas that she calls the Magic Three: food, plastics, and recycling. Stephanie tries to help busy people get to 80% zero waste with minimal effort through her book.
