“We have to start thinking about not just what we're taking, but what we're giving back.”  - Sarah Parlow

 

What do food and fashion have in common? They're both into convenience. We know about fast food and how it plagued the health system. However, we also have fast fashion disrupting the rag trade. And indeed, every product and industry for that matter.  Thankfully, the trend is now shifting towards sustainable development. But what does it mean to be sustainable? This week, Justine and Sarah Parlow, Owner of SPUNJ, dig deep into that. Sarah talks about what sustainability means and how the way we spend our money and make choices impacts the world. We also learn practical ways to reduce carbon emission, from farming practices to creating products and shipping. You do not have to compromise style for quality or vice versa. There is a way to unite both while being sustainable. Listen to the conversation to find out!
