Deforestation: Overview

This week we're wrapping up our discussion around deforestation. Throughout this month, we answered our biggest questions from part one and we learned the right way to ask questions about this topic. This topic feels like something that we could spend years learning about and join in the fight against the destruction of the world's forests - because there isn't a clear solution to this problem. As a brand, you should work within the system to fight deforestation directly - whether that's solving the problem with your business model directly, or DEMANDING ethical sourcing from your suppliers. And as a consumer, look at your bathroom shelves and check out your fridge. Make sure that the brands you're supporting and the companies that you pay money to AREN'T contributing to deforestation. It takes more research, and it's ANOTHER lifestyle change, but changing the world starts with changing our own behavior.
