Building a Green Lifestyle in and Out of the Office

In this episode… Living a sustainable life is for hippies and tree huggers. It's too much work for the average person to make any real difference.  Thankfully, both those statements are false. Taking care of the planet is for everybody. Of course, sustainability is a journey, not a destination. The important thing is that you start trying in whatever way you can. For some people, that means switching to a reusable coffee cup instead of using plastic or picking up a few pieces of litter on your way to work every day.  For Eric Henry, President of TS Designs, it meant becoming North Carolina's first B Corp and provider of high-quality printed apparel using a domestic transparent and trackable supply chain. Eric is also heavily involved in downtown revitalization efforts in his hometown of Burlington, North Carolina. He has founded organizations like the Burlington Biodiesel Coop and Burlington Beerworks. Additionally, Eric is developing a permaculture plan for his 12-acre farm and is converting his house into a net-zero energy home. Whatever your efforts look like — sustainability begins with you.  In this episode, Host Ben Cash sits down with Eric Henry, President of TS Designs, to discuss his passion for sustainability. Eric talks about his journey to become a B Corp business, how he creates a green culture among employees, and ways you can start making a difference today.
