    S2 02 | Absolutely everything is my fault!

    If we want to change, start small.

    So Judith gets tips on how to grow a garden, make her place more eco-friendly and even has a Masterchef finalist cook her (a vegan lunch).

    Despite all this she still feels guilty about the planet.

    People are to blame and we can't do anything, right?! Wrong!
