from Characters · host Cloud10

It’s easy to be impressed by all the “sustainable” products entering stores, but it’s also easy to be tricked into believing deceitful eco-friendly labels.

This episode gives an overview of items currently in market, plus campaigns and habits that we should be thinking more critically about regarding their environmental impact.
