Carol starts the New Year 2023 the right way: talking about sustainability. What should we be wearing and buying, and what wasteful clothing and jewellery habits should we be breaking? She's joined by journalist Dana Thomas, presenter of The Green Dream podcast, and sustainable jewellery designer Maria Sole Ferragamo, granddaughter of famed shoemaker Salvatore Ferragamo.
