In a world where the environment is increasingly at the forefront of our concerns, the promise of electric vehicles (EVs) shines brighter than ever. Join us in this electrifying - pun 100% intended - episode of "Consciously Craving" as we delve into the captivating realm of EVs and explore their immense potential to transform our planet and society. Electric vehicles aren't just a mode of transportation; they represent a fundamental shift towards a greener, cleaner future.

In this episode, Pat is thrilled to welcome a true expert in the field, Kieran Campbell, Market Lead for Polestar Ireland, who will guide us through the electrifying journey of EVs and share insights on how they're shaping our world. From reducing carbon emissions and combatting climate change to enhancing air quality, mitigating ecological risks, and redefining the manufacturing process, the advantages of EVs are truly boundless.

Tune in as we unravel the exciting prospects of electric vehicles, and discover how human investment and a collective shift in the market are propelling us towards a sustainable and eco-conscious future. 

Pat Kane finds herself actively yearning for sustainable fashion. It's worth noting that the fashion industry is responsible for a significant portion of the world's carbon emissions, making it the second most polluting industry globally. This industry employs roughly 60 million people across the world, with women constituting about 80% of the supply chain workforce. Consequently, it presents an opportunity to make positive contributions to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG1 (No Poverty) and SDG5 (Gender Equality).

The encouraging news is that many businesses are now committed to making improvements. In this episode, Pat Kane is joined by Diana Geraghty, the Head of Sustainability at Brown Thomas Arnotts to discuss the group's mission to "Reinvent Retail" and engage in an open and sincere dialogue about the future of the industry.
