www.startingsustainability.com Since the pandemic has spoiled everyone with online ordering and takeout, using websites like UberEats, Door Dash and Deliveroo have also skyrocketed. Austin Sachs has been hard at work with a web browser extension called Ethyk to help you shop, ethically.

This interview was conducted on 12/4/20. I won a $20 gift card for uber eats at work on the same day I had this interview with Austin to learn about Ethyk and using it to find a sustainable restaurant to order from using Uber Eats. That is destiny aligning it all up at once.
