Listen Later

A lighthearted and witty exploration of some of the big questions that come up when trying to 'walk the green line'. Helping us tackle the question: ‘Can we shop our way out of the climate crisis?’, is founder of the pioneering industrialised textile recycling company Worn Again technologies, Cyndi Rhoades, co-founder of sustainable fashion brand and mechanical recycling company Tee Mill, Mart Drake-Knight and Sikisa our multi talented comedian for this episode who aswell as being hilarious, is a trained immigration lawyer and makes her own clothes!
Hosted by Juliet Davenport, climate scientist, renewable pioneer, businesswoman, environmental activist and founder of the UK’s first 100% renewable electricity supplier, this podcast invites a panel of comedians and experts to tackle some of the common (and quirky!) questions that pop to mind when trying to live a greener life.
Topics covered:
- What is fast fashion
- Is the bigger problem the scale that items are produced (and thrown away) or the materials and methods they are made with?
- The importance of a circular system and why circularity is the future of sustainability
- The cost of sustainable fabric at the moment compared to ‘normal’ fabrics.
- The human cost of the fashion industry now and how this will be effected should sustainable clothing take off
- We also spoke about the human cost of the fashion industry and whether sustainable, circular fashion could be part of the solution.
