Welcome to the first episode of Ethical & Sustainable. We are Farah and Yoori, and this is our journey of starting a business that's 100% centered around a move to a more sustainable and ethical future. In this episode we talk about the core of our business: believing in the power of every single decision each and everyone of us takes, no matter how small. We will also discuss what it takes to be 'ethical' and 'sustainable' as these terms are often used but not 100% defined. Spoiler alert - it doesn't mean living on a communal farm and composting in your backyard.
