Join us in celebrating 200 episodes of ECO CHIC!! Record 1-2 minutes of yourself sharing your favorite, creative sustainability tip - something you were excited to learn during your journey to live more eco-consciously, and something you'd like to share with the community. Topics may include but are absolutely not limited to: fashion, food, recreation/hobbies, family, events, school, savings.... just about anything can be tied back to our goals of more sustainable lifestyles.

You can record a voice memo on your phone or computer (I think it is quite easy to record yourself on Zoom) and email me the MP3 at [email protected]. Please share your name if you're comfortable! And please write something descriptive in the subject line, like "200th episode" or "200th voice memo." Thanks in advance!!! I cannot wait to hear these.
