Pebble description
pebble is a digital magazine with a mission. It’s a stylish platform that inspires sustainable living and empowers individuals all over the world to make everyday decisions more ethical.
We cover food, fashion, travel and design and combine up to date info on issues like microplastics with aspirational ideas and inspiring interviews to tackle global consumption. We break down and repackage the issues so that people like you and me feel like they can make a difference.
On today's episode we have a unique guest. We were connected through Ulrike of the Impact Club (shouts out!) and I have enjoyed getting to know her over the last couple weeks. My guest is Theresa Lankes, she's a human rights lawyer from Germany. Her passion and fascination is with tensions in the burgeoning field of corporate social responsibility, where companies function between the dual obligations of profit and human rights. She studied in the UK how corporate management can consider human rights and has implemented campaigns for human rights corporate responsibility at the umbrella organization of Fair Trade. And She produces her own blog on CSR and human rights called Bizolutioners.
In this episode, we dive into what CSR is and how we can live happy lives while also caring more about our personal supply chains. But before we get into that, I also want to note that Theresa selected the song that you hear playing, it's a big pop hit called "Crazy" by Lost Frequencies & Zonderling.
She loves it precisely because she believes that the song is a trap! We should be wary about giving our everything because it can lead to unhealthy habits and burnout. For example, people who are negative give everything to be pessimistic in their future. There is a danger if you engage in this to burn out. Chose this song because it is a good reflection on how many people make themselves crazy by trying to change others so we will try to shirk this here.
Key Muse Points:
If you look at your own shopping habits like a company looks at its supply-chain, where is an area which you could influence within your limited time, energy and budget?
Maybe you have a very limited budget and buying second-hand clothes suits with your lifestyle, too? Or you want to take a practical step against the tobacco supply-chain exploiting child labor and take this as an extra incentive to stop smoking? Or you notice that you shoe-shop when you're stressed out, so you could cut down on non-required consumption if you give yourself time to do nothing, absolutely nothing at all.
Note: Theresa would suggest focusing on only one area to stress the point of using leverage with fun at a point which does not involve great stress and anxiety. The objective is to avoid piling on additional pressure to perform to a set standard of ‘being good’ by ‘consuming correctly’.
Underlying is the idea that most people are already more than maxed out by the demands of daily life. Hence, we do not help saving the world by piling on even more stress.; taking away pressure for creating the space to avoid harm and/or build solutions.
