Would you pick up a schoolkid's half eaten apple and eat it? Annie Raser-Rowland would, while shining a lopsided smile to passersby. Annie is the radical wordsmith behind the bestselling The Art Of Frugal Hedonism and The Weed Forager's Handbook, co-authored with the equally-and-proudly-as-stingy Adam Grubb. This is one helluva conversation that covers: 🌟Why to be even weirder 🌟Rubbing frugality pheromones on your significant other 🌟Starting work at 3am 🌟Engaging teenage goth mode to deal with chronic health challenges 🌟Embracing voluntary extinction 🌟Leaving room for the more-than-human 🌟The plight of a brushtail possum in our wall.
