Show #118: Textiles with environmental scientist Anne Foster, founder of Elkie & Ark


Listen Later

In my show this week we go deep into some of the labels you'll find on your clothes, bed linen and textiles in general.  What does fair trade, made in XYZ country, made with organic cotton, GOTS certified and Ecotek all mean when it's on the label? What are we NOT seeing on the label that is used in the farming and production process? How do we develop a healthier relationship with what we choose when it comes to textiles? How does the textiles industry impact climate change and what can we do about it? What are some of the hardest aspects of having an ethical, organic textiles business? It's definitely a 2 cup-of-tea / 7K steps kind of podcast this week and I hope you love it as much as I loved picking Anne's brain. She's so considered in her thinking and exploring of the facts and by the end of the show you'll want to buy less, source well and start supporting brands who do right by people and planet, as well as start challenging the ones you've loved perhaps in the past, to do better, by having the conversations that need to happen. Find all the resources we shared verbally and sponsor offer in the show notes over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast and click on this show's tile. Enjoy the conversation, Alexx x
