Livia Firth is the queen of sustainable fashion. After learning about the negative human and environmental impact of fashion, Livia began to dress in an ethically sound way when she accompanied her husband Colin Firth to various award shows. Her success at ticking the ethical aesthetic box, lead her to founding The Green Carpet challenge, which culminates in the Green Carpet Awards in Milan every September. 
Livia is the co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-Age, a consultancy firm and my go-to hub for all things sustainability. Livia campaigns tirelessly to make the fashion industry more honest, transparent and lower impact.

Talking Tastebuds with Livia Firth

All The Small Things is a weekly interview series hosted by Venetia La Manna. Venetia will be speaking to inspiring people, thought leaders, writers and activists about the rituals that help provide structure when we need it most - or perhaps if creativity lies in the chaos if it all. We'll be learning about the small things that keep them in-check and uncover more about what makes their minds tick. What’s more, we’ll hear about the seemingly small moments that perhaps felt insignificant at the time, but their impact turned out to be life-changing. This podcast aims to encourage us to pay closer attention to the present moment and cherish all the small things.

voicenote: Hey Barbie!

On average, British people spend more than 2 hours per day on their phones. That amounts to an entire MONTH on our phones every year - or more - in my case! In this episode, i'm sharing what i've learned from spending my weekends offline (with varying levels of success!) over the past 5 years, in a practice I call #offline48. I'll also be answering the questions I get asked most frequently and i'll be sharing tips and advice if you're keen to join me on an offline weekend.

How To Break Up With Your Phone

Kieran Yates is a London-based journalist, broadcaster and author.  Her debut book “All The Houses I’ve Ever Lived In” is part memoir, part social commentary. It’s a love letter to home and community and a vital and timely expose on the UK’s housing crisis.
By the age of 25, Kieran had lived in twenty different houses across the country, from council estates in London to car showrooms in rural Wales. Drawing on personal experience, interviews with tenants across the country and the stories behind our interiors, she explores the unexpected ways we can fight back, highlighting the invaluable work of community organisers who have led the way to change and improve the housing system, inviting us to re-imagine what the future of housing could look like.
