In this episode of EnvironMental with Dandelion, we talk to Rianne Doller, Founder of Kickass Quilts, about sustainability and ... quilting? Yep - you read that right! Rianne is on a mission to reframe quilting from something for the elderly to a skill for the sustainability-minded - and we're about it. Quilting is a way to bring joy to sustainability while changing consumer habits and learning to find value in small things. You can find Rianne on her website: https://kickassquilts.org/ and you can find the full write up for this episode on our website here: https://dandelionbranding.com/ep-rianne-doller-quilting/

In this episode of EnvironMental we talked about "girl science" (ie. what the good ol' boys call environmental studies), with Erin Wiedmer. She's a freelance ecosystem restorer and permaculture designer - and boy does she love soil! Erin told us about studying soil under a microscope and the difference between a chemically fertilized field and a field fertilized using organic materials - which by the way is staggering. We definitely recommend following and connecting with Erin in LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-wiedmer-1bb6593/ You can listen to the episode and learn more here: https://dandelionbranding.com/ep-soil-conservation-erin-wiedmer/

In this episode of EnvironMental, we spoke with Taso Arima about IperionX his sustainable Titanium - and we had trouble picking our jaws up off the floor. What we thought could be a greenwashing nightmare of a podcast turned out to be one of the most exciting episodes we have ever done. Taso explained how IperionX works - including the chemistry behind their revolutionary production system. We learned that titanium - and its alloys - is infinitely recyclable. It really is the metal of the future!
