It’s really frustrating, right? They have the money, they have the budget to sort of, green-wash their way into sustainability, which… it feels like we’re up against a lot but, yeah. I just really think it’s important to educate; try to educate as many people who will listen and who are curious.” LINKS FROM THE EPISODEWhat Elizabeth’s Wearing - Jewelry / Clothing Swap Service https://www.swapsociety.co/(a European equivalent? https://www.thenuwardrobe.com/)What Saskia’s Wearing https://www.seasaltcornwall.com/Ethical / Sustainable Shoe Brand in the U.S. - Nisolo https://nisolo.com/ See also:https://nisolo.com/blogs/stride-sustainability/the-lowest-wage-in-our-supply-chainThousand Fell Sneakers https://www.thousandfell.com/MUD Jeans NL https://mudjeans.nl/Book: The Day The World Stops Shopping https://www.jbmackinnon.com/the-day-the-world-stops-shopping  CONNECT WITH ELIZABETHHer website https://www.consciouslifeandstyle.com/Her podcast https://www.consciouslifeandstyle.com/category/podcast/Newsletter: https://www.consciouslifeandstyle.com/subscribe/  I had a very interesting conversation with Elizabeth on her podcast.
