About Earth Your While

Earth Your While is a business interview show with sustainability at its center and human consequences kept close to the surface. Jack and Ellie from Reuseabox speak with guests who are trying to make organizations more responsible, more connected, and more useful to the world around them. The show has a steady, practical temperament. It asks simple opening questions, then lets the answers build through examples, caveats, and lived experience. Recent conversations have moved from carbon accounting to workplace loneliness, from climate majority action to purpose-led drinks, and from leadership coaching to psychological safety. That range gives the show a broader shape than a standard green business podcast. It is interested in emissions and supply chains, but also in the way people feel at work and the kind of leadership that helps them contribute. Andrew Griffiths explains carbon measurement as both an accounting challenge and a real-world reduction problem. Hannah Beatrice frames loneliness as a common human emotion that can follow people into the workplace. Karen Jakes talks about climate action as something that can grow through communities and organizations rather than only through top-down campaigning. Will Englander brings the conversation down to ingredients, farmers, pricing, and the pressure to grow without losing transparency. Zoe Starbuck focuses on clarity, coaching, trust, and the everyday work of helping teams understand their purpose. The show’s strength is this movement between system and example. It can talk about policy, certification, and standards, then land on a team meeting, a supplier relationship, or a manager asking a better question. The hosts keep the mood accessible without flattening the issues. Guests are given space to explain, and the conversation usually favors usefulness over performance. Earth Your While suits listeners who want business ethics treated as daily practice rather than brand language. It is calm, socially minded, and quietly persistent about the idea that better businesses are made through repeated choices, not single declarations.

Made for: For founders, managers, sustainability leads, and business listeners who want responsible practice explained through real examples. It also suits people interested in workplace culture, community action, and ethical growth.

What sets it apart: The show connects environmental responsibility with social wellbeing, treating carbon, loneliness, leadership, and supply chains as linked business questions. Its guest-led format gives ideas time to develop before turning them into practical workplace implications.

In their own words

Join Jack and Ellie from Reuseabox as they chat with industry experts, sustainable business leaders and change-makers as they try to uncover the simplest ways to make your business better for people and the planet.
