Julia sits down with Courtney to discuss how Akua is revolutionizing the farmed food industry - taking one of the most large scale unsustainable industries, and creating beneficial and sustainable substitutions for meat products.  Their flagship product, kelp jerky, was Kickstarter funded in 2018.  Forever appreciating all things community and crowd fueled, Akua currently has investment opportunities at https://republic.co/akua - look for kelp BURGERS coming in 2021!

Tasya Kelen is a woman on a mission to share the love with other local, woman-owned businesses, and intentional hiring to reduce the unemployment rate for people with disabilities.  Inspired by her grandfather, an original health “nut” (ha!) she sources only the highest quality ingredients from people, not corporations.  Even their light touch of maple syrup is sourced just 20 miles down the road from where they craft their spiced nut mixes. They believe in letting the natural flavor of the nuts and spices shine and omitting excessive amounts of sugar - keeping their treats healthy and nutritious.

This system was designed to help the public understand how to sort recyclable items and what preparations are needed for these items to be recycled. Julia also explains the how2recycle.info website and the guidelines provided there. It can be hard to keep recycling procedures straight, but luckily this new system will make it a bit easier for all of us!

In today's episode, Julia shares the difference between the meaning of eco-friendly and sustainable. Let's keep striving to do better by choosing the more sustainable option which will benefit generations to come!
