Hosted by Sarah Robertson-Barnes — a suburban soccer mum, sustainability educator, and founder of the blog Sustainable in the Suburbs — this weekly show brings doable advice, honest conversations, and actionable ideas to help you waste less, spend smarter, and live more sustainably at home.

Guest

Erin Karpluk

Erin grew up in Jasper National Park, Alberta, with the Canadian Rockies as her
backyard, grateful for a childhood that shaped her deep respect for the land and
community.

An award-winning actress with over 100 credits across a 30-year career, she’s known for playing Erica Strange in CBC's Being Erica, Erin recently starred opposite Taron Egerton in Apple TV+’s Smoke, appears in the upcoming season of Netflix’s My Life as the Walter Boys, and can also be seen in the feature film Any Other World debuting Summer 2026.

These days, Erin is also stepping behind the camera, directing and producing her first documentary, chronicling the wildfire that claimed 30% of her hometown of Jasper. The project is a reflection on climate, loss, and resilience in the place where her heart will always belong.
