Angie Ringler: An Eco-Terrorist Doing Good

Angie Ringler is interviewed by host Bob Gatty

Today our guest on The Lean to the Left Podcast is Angie Ringler, a fellow podcaster with a show called "The Grateful Redhead", and who is committed to doing her part when it comes to saving our planet from pollution and waste.

Angie does a lot more than just talk and interview people. A paralegal turned hippie soap maker, she founded an eco-conscious business called Waste Free Products. It’s dedicated to reducing single-use plastic from the planet by making 100% plastic-free, zero-waste household & body care products without harsh chemicals.

Her company makes a line of products called “Tangie” and she claims that her laundry bars so far have washed hundreds of thousands laundry loads with “waste free detergent”, keeping thousands of plastic laundry bottles out of landfills.

And that’s just the laundry stuff. She also has developed all natural body care products, and on the show you'll hear a hilarious discussion about her "tinkle towels." Enough said.

Angie calls herself a “redheaded Grateful Dead loving fan,” and her podcast features people who she says live an impactful life, inspire people, and cause a ripple effect on the planet. She’s big on kindness…in every way. In human relations, certainly, and being kind to our planet.

In this episode, we talk with Angie about her determination to do everything she can to save our earth for generations to come, as well as her concerns that we're not moving fast enough to cope with climate change and the impact it will have on our planet. Tinkle towels are just a little part of that!
