In this episode of Peeled Pomegranate, Didi talks to Andrea Sonntag-Vega, an ophthalmologist and cofounder of 5Loops, a sustainable eyewear brand with a circular economy concept. Growing up with her twin sister Caroline near the beaches of Peru, Andrea experienced nature as something self-evident. As they moved around the world and saw the impact of many pollutants on nature and people, Andrea decided to start 5Loops as a way to bring about change in eyewear consumption.

In this episode, Andrea and Didi discuss:

* How Andrea’s childhood on the beautiful, clean beaches in Peru influenced her journey in sustainability.

* How 5Loops contributes to a circular economy.

* The importance of mental wellness and mutual support in building a sustainable community.
