Episode Description
What if the easiest way to reduce your environmental impact starts with the products you use every single day?
In this episode of The Lexy Show, Lexy Silverstein sits down with Janette Spiezio, founder of Sustainable Haus Mercantile and co-chair of Beyond Plastics New Jersey. After questioning the ingredients in everyday household products, Janette turned her curiosity into a mission to make low-waste living practical, approachable, and accessible for everyone.
Together, Lexy and Janette unpack what it really means to live a zero waste lifestyle without striving for perfection. They discuss the rise of refill stores, simple swaps that reduce plastic waste, and how everyday purchases can have a lasting impact on both personal health and the environment. The conversation also explores hidden sources of toxins, including PFAS, receipts, and microplastics, while explaining why understanding product ingredients is more important than ever. Instead of focusing on guilt or impossible standards, Janette shares realistic habits that anyone can start incorporating today, whether you're just beginning your sustainability journey or looking to take it further.
