The Real Question

Should I Quit: My Ethical Phone?


Listen Later

Megan believes in doing the ‘right thing’ even when it’s a little inconvenient, so she bought herself an ethical phone. This phone is supposed to be 'forever' – the answer to our cultural habit of constantly buying new technology every few years. This phone is also really annoying.

This week on Should I Quit? Vanessa and Megan discuss which small actions matter and how to stick with them.
