Draußen scheint die Sonne, aber wir haben eigentlich Bock zu zocken und darum reden wir heute fast ausschließlich über Spiele. Es geht u.a. um die ersten Stunden in Manor Lords, den frustrierenden vierten Dungeon in Enshrouded, Jacks neue Abenteuer in Minecraft, mit dem Lenkrad im Landwirtschafts-Simulator und weitere kommende Games.

Eco-Age's George Harding-Rolls talks about the greenwash.com website he helped set up and its aim to help consumers better identify greenwashing. We also discuss whether companies should become advocates for legislative change in sustainability to "change the rules of the game", rather than focus too much on creating "the perfect green product".

Experienced corporate campaigner and sustainability professional George Harding-Rolls is Fossil Fuel Fashion Campaign Lead and Director of Policy & Advocacy at Eco-Age, having previously worked on Fashion, Plastics & Circular Economy at the Changing Markets Foundation. In this episode, George joins host Bárbara Mendes-Jorge to discuss the need for improved greenwashing regulation, whether greenwashing should be seen as anti-competitive and how important it is for different departments within companies to openly discuss sustainability issues in order to prevent greenwashing.

In this episode, we dive into the impact fast fashion has on the world with Liva Firth MBE.    The fast fashion and mass production that we all buy into has a dark side that many of us tend to ignore: the social impact. The people who are behind the curtains making these garments are working in poor conditions are abused daily, and often have their lives in danger due to negligence on the part of the companies who employ them. We play a part in this abuse as we continue to support these practices through our purchases. This bears the question: we wouldn't let our neighbors live or work in such conditions, so why would we allow it (and support) for this to happen to people abroad? It's time to reconsider which clothing companies we are supporting.   Young people are being brainwashed by these giant companies to keep spending their money on fast fashion. They are purposely targeted on social media platforms and are incited to spend more and consume more products from these particular brands. What makes it harder for them to give up these shopping practices is that they grew up with these brands, while older generations did not. Being aware of the marketing practices of these big companies such as SHEIN, for example, is the first step to not getting sucked into their world and participating in the fast-fashion phenomenon.    The environmental impact of such business practices in the clothing industry is huge. It is destructive to the environment through air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and landfill. By purchasing a bit costlier garments from companies that have more environmentally and human-friendly business practices, you will not only reduce landfill waste as the clothing will last longer but also reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Spending money on items made by companies who care about sustainability is not only great for the environment but for your savings account too.  Livia is is the co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-Age – the leading consulting and creative agency specialized in integrated sustainability, and founder of the Green Carpet Challenge (GCC). She is renowned for creating compelling frameworks and campaigns for environmental and social justice with global reach. In this episode, I am joined by Livia Firth MBE to discuss the clothes you are wearing right now, the fast fashion and mass production that we all buy into and how it has a dark side that many of us tend to ignore: the social impact. She discusses how young people are being brainwashed by these giant companies to keep spending their money on fast fashion. They are purposely targeted on social media platforms and are incited to spend more and consume more products from these particular brands. And, she explains how the environmental impact of such business practices in the clothing industry is huge. It is destructive to the environment through air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and landfill. We then dive into what we can do right now to lessen the impact, what clothes are more sustainable for the environment, and what to look for and what to avoid when purchasing new clothes. Livia is is the co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-Age – the leading consulting and creative agency specialized in integrated sustainability, and founder of the Green Carpet Challenge (GCC).

In the season finale of season 4, I'm visited by Philippa Grogan, sustainability consultant in Eco-Age, an agency for sustainable business strategy. Since graduating, Philly has been on a fascinating journey (literally) through the garment industry of Asia, before working in Eco-Age to help companies lower their impact on people and the planet. Our conversation covers the recent developments in the Higg MSI situation, fossil-based fashion, greenwashing and intentions to become sustainable, how recent vintage isn't all that sustainable, how easy it is to blame consumers and using celebrities to help bring focus on the issues at hand. It's not all doom and gloom though, expect banter and laughs as well. Oh, and a washtub full  of urine.You can find Eco-Age on the web here and Philly's own story here.Garmology is researched, booked, hosted, edited, published, paid for and everything else by Nick Johannessen.

Do you ever wonder where old clothes end up? We see so many ads for unlimited types of clothing, the shops are full of people… When they're worn out or just tired of a style, do most people donate items? Repurpose them? Recycle? The simple answer: most of them go into a trash wasteland and end up contributing to climate change. Aja Barber is an eco-conscious fashion consultant, personal stylist, speaker, and author of Consumed: The Need for Collective Change: Colonialism, Climate Change, and Consumerism. Her line of work focuses on sustainability and its intersection with ethics, feminism, and racism, particularly in the fashion industry.  As a sustainable fashion consultant, Aja makes sure to educate the general public about sustainable and ethical manufacturing, specifically with garments in the fashion industry, in the hope of creating a better and safer planet. She has written for online publications such as Eco-Age, The Guardian, and CNN. Still, she is most active in opening up conversations and informing people about sustainable and ethical fashion on her Instagram. During the conversation, Cory and Aja talk about the impact of the fashion industry on our climate crisis, how fast fashion contributes to colonial waste, the core of consumer culture, and what role we can play to creatively solve these problems. Aja also shares her journey in writing her first book and gives her advice on how to stop consumerism.   ⭐ SPONSORED BY: The Social Good Network   -- --  

#40 Livia Firth, Co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-AgeWhat has been your turning point that made you change your vision of sustainability ? For Livia Firth, it was in 2008 when she went to Bangladesh and saw the backside of fashion. In the meantime, she co-founded Eco-Age, a creative agency that integrates both environmental and social justice. Working along with brands, NGO's, governments and stakeholders at large, the agency is defining strategies that drive inner changes. Livia is shaping new ways to have a positive and significant impact within the supply chain, through the right material choices with labeling and honest communication avoiding greenwashing. She is convinced that scientific data is a necessary knowledge to take into account for the fashion industry. From a maker and consumer perspective, she's aiming to redefine the production as well as the consumption systems by asking the right questions. In this episode, Livia is giving many solutions that encourage tangible action towards a more sustainable industry driven by innovation, creativity and activism.

This week we talk to the delightful Venetia La Manna, a great friend and truly inspiring woman.Venetia is a podcaster, slow fashion campaigner and co-founder of Remember Who Made Them, which is helping to energise a new solidarity economy in fashion. Venetia tries to bring mindfulness and compassion to all that she does. In her new podcast, “All The Small Things” she chats to inspiring people and thought leaders about finding joy in the small moments, and learns more about their routines, habits and rituals. Throughout her social platforms Venetia challenges fashion brands who are costing the earth and calls out retailers on their unethical practices in the fashion supply chain. Venetia’s campaigning has been recognised globally, and she’s been featured on BBC Radio 1, Now This News and BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour. She has written for The Independent and Eco Age and earlier this year, was featured as one of ID Magazine’s young activists fighting to save the planet. In this episode Venetia talks us through the fast fashion industry, it’s unethical practices and how to identify them, and its effects on the enviroment. She talks us through effective and simple ways we can make changes to be more conscious in our own purchasing.“Guilt tripping ourselves is a waste of time we should absolutely do the best we can, but I think it’s of more importance to think about collective action and collectively being active citizens than being conscious consumers”We learnt a lot on this episode, Venetia is delightful to talk to and her social platforms are a great resource for anyone looking for credible fact checked information on the fashion industry.

What if instead of managing fashion waste, we designed it out instead? Today we’re chatting with two people working to help small-scale sewers and bigger brands alike do exactly that, by focusing on zero waste systems that incorporate the whole supply chain. Holly McQuillan is a researcher at the Swedish School of Textiles and co-author of Zero Waste Fashion Design, and Cassandra Belanger is a Glasgow School of Art graduate and founder of The Stitchery. Their partnership with fellow fashion problem-solvers Mylène L’Orguilloux and Danielle Elsener is Zero Waste Design Online, where they provide workshops and resources to help people realise their zero waste ambitions. Holly and Cassandra explained to us why the fashion industry is so wasteful, what a zero-waste system entails, and how everyone can implement zero waste thinking into their wardrobes and designs. Follow Zero Waste Design Online on Instagram for the latest about its work. You can also find out more about the collective in Ruth’s recent article for Eco-Age. Here are some additional zero-waste design resources, as recommended by Cassandra: Danielle Elsener - DECODE System Julian Roberts - Subtraction Pattern Cutting Rickard Lindqvist - Kinetic Construction Mylène L'Orguilloux - Open Source Zero Waste Patterns If you liked this episode and you want to support our work, you can buy us a Ko-Fi here.

This week, Momo and Evy have an in-depth discussion about redistributing privilege in the vegan community with the wonderful Mikaela Loach. Mikaela is a climate justice and anti-racism activist, a writer, medical student and host of The Yikes Podcast. In this episode, Mikaela shares her journey to veganism, her early days of animal rights activism and why the word ‘vegan' is no longer front and centre in her activism. Mikaela also shares her ideas on keeping ego out of activism and how the movement will thrive when we listen to marginalised people and focus on the community as a whole rather than glorifying individuals within the vegan community.  While you're listening, please take a moment to check out the links to our sponsors. Not only are Vivo Life a great, vegan company, but their support also allows us to continue to produce The ChickPeeps for you! We love them and their products and we think you will too.

Also in this episode… Mikaela talks about going vegan overnight at the age of 16 after having her eyes opened to the logical fallacies inherent in eating animals. She shares her admiration for the young activists finding their voice in our movement and notes the importance of social media as a tool for organising and advocating for causes. We talk about the intersection of vegan and anti-racism work and Mikaela reminds us that “being aware of how other beings are oppressed will only ever strengthen our movements, it can't weaken them”.  Mikaela explains the importance of keeping our ego in check, especially when we're advocating for change on behalf of non-human animals.  “If we want to disrupt the system it's going to be uncomfortable”. Mikaela emphasises the need to accept discomfort as part of the process in creating systemic change. How do we reach and change the minds of those who see the world so differently to us? Mikaela gives her perspective on ‘cancelling' people and why she believes we need to lower the bar in terms of bringing people into movements. Mikaela talks about the upcoming season of The Yikes Podcast and explains why she likes podcasting as a medium. Links: Follow Mikaela on Instagram and Twitter. The Yikes Podcast on Spotify and Apple.

Diamonds Are A Girls Best FriendWhile diamonds are usually seen on women, the diamond industry itself has been traditionally male dominated. From the mines to the heads of large jewellery houses like Graff and De Beers. Its a topic we spoke about in more detail in episode 5 with Jewellery designer Maryline Kekeli. However this has been changing gradually over the last few years as natural diamond companies emerge as models for sustainable practises and gender equality. The diamond industry supports the livelihood of roughly 10 million people worldwide so it’s important that this community is supported. Thats where the Natural Diamond Council comes in. They provide insights and transparency for the diamond industry, promoting sustainability and ethics. The NDC works directly with diamond companies and mines to educate and encourage them to build on important areas of ecology, human rights and gender parity. One example of positive transformation is Botswana, now the second largest diamond producer in the world.Gender Parity In Diamond MiningExcitingly women are rising to the top of diamond businesses and taking important roles in decision making. Women represent 30% of the workforce of the worlds largest diamond producers. More and more women are being bought  into highly skilled but traditionally male dominated roles. This includes women in upper management, arguably the most key change of all. Because when diverse voices (both in gender and race) are heard at the top of companies, positive change follows. Naseem Lahri was recently appointed Managing Director of Lacura Botswana. In this episode Lucy speaks to Raluca Anghel Head of External Affairs at the Natural Diamond Council. They talk about incredible grass roots initiatives that are being built, about gender parity throughout the industry and the exciting environmental schemes that are being pioneered.With thanks to the wonderful Raluca Anghel from Natural Diamond CouncilSpecial thanks to Nafisa Boateng & Amie Tran Mentioned in the episodeMaryline Kekeli - How To support Black Owned BusinessesNassem LahriLivia Firth on Fashionscapes: The Diamonds of BotswanaDe Beers Mineral Carbonation Please Support The Vendeur & Join Our CommunityInstagramFacebookPinterestSeries Credits Host Lucy KebbellTheme created by Joe Murgatroyd

During the conversation, Patrick and Livia discuss the parallels between the social and environmental footprints of food and fashion, and how consumers can use their purchasing power to affect change and transform the fashion industry.  An important part of this transformation is an understanding of the provenance of our clothing. "Natural products have superiority over synthetic fibres" says Livia, calling herself a "huge fan of wool".

It's the final episode of series one of Common Threads! In this solo episode, Ruth and Alice explain why changing the fashion system isn't the responsibility of individuals, and that it's OK to be 'imperfectly ethical' on our quest to become more conscious consumers.

Aine Campbell is a model, community organizer and lover of creative, social impact collaborations. She is half Chinese, quarter Scottish and a quarter Irish and was raised in England. Áine is an Irish name pronounced “Anya”.  As a model, she promotes sustainable and ethical fashion, and collaborate with conscious brands to align her image with her beliefs as much as possible. This choice has allowed her to deep-dive into what ethical and eco-friendly fashion really means-from the long term environmental impacts of making fashion, to the labour behind the production of clothes throughout the entire supply change, and what “sustainable” truly translates into as a lifestyle and culture.  In December 2016, she co-founded the Model Activist Community, aka the Model Mafia, with fellow model, Cameron Russell. The Model Mafia is a group of dedicated fashion models who take collective action to create a more fair and just world. The Model Mafia was featured in the Edit and has collaborated with organizations such as Eco-Age, the United Nations, BRAC and Pure Earth. Aine shares how she was able to become more of her authentic self through her life experiences and also tips that can help you in your own journey to self confidence.

This episode is a bit different than usual— I had the opportunity to interview ethical and sustainable fashion advocate and entrepreneur Livia Firth,  Co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-Age and founder of the Green Carpet Challenge and Marianne Hernandez, President of PACUNAM, the foundation for maya cultural and natural heritage, and decided to record it for the podcast! The two of them partnered with a handful of other individuals to create a short documentary, Fashionscapes: Artisans Guatemaya, which “tells the story of the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Guatemala’s 1 million artisans.” We sat down after the premiere at Parsons and they answered my questions about the film and their views on ethical, sustainable, and artisan fashion. In this episode, we discuss: How the documentary came to be The “handprint” of fashion and how artisanship fits into the landscape of ethical fashion Comparing artisan and couture fashion The most important thing to consider when buying new clothes If fair trade certification is necessary on artisan goods The role of government engagement and regulation in artisanship How to avoid greenwashing and determining if something is truly fair fashion Is ethical fashion really that expensive? How fast fashion is one of the biggest threats to artisanship Mentioned in this episode: Greta Thunberg’s sustainability movement All the deets: Watch the documentary Fashionscapes: Artisans Guatemaya (it’s less than 20 minutes!)

She is a UN Leader of Change, a founding member of Annie Lennox’s women’s advocacy group The Circle, and was a co-producer on Andrew Morgan’s ethical fashion documentary, The True Cost. Livia is also a warm and wonderful advocate for ethical and sustainable fashion, and an absolute treat to interview. We are so grateful to Livia for kicking off this, our brand sparkling new series 3 of the Wardrobe Crisis podcast! In Episode, Clare and Livia discuss what it means to be a fashion activist, and why the world needs more of us (yes, including you!). We cover the big stuff - garment worker dignity, living wages, social justice - and the glitzy stuff - influencers, social media and the power of fashion to change stories. Livia shares about her childhood growing up in Italy in a pre-fast fashion world, being “a ballbreaker” and starting a business with her brother. She reveals how her eco fashion quest began: when her husband Colin Firth was up for a Best Actor Oscar for his role in the Tom Ford movie A Single Man - dressing “eco” gave her a role to play. And she explains how that first challenge grew and flowered into something truly extraordinary that has seen Eco-Age become one of the biggest players in sustainable fashion.

Dans cet épisode je reçois Sophie Zembra, qui a créé Antidote à Miami, une boutique multimarques spécialisée dans la mode responsable et éthique. Avec Sophie, on a parlé d’Antidote bien sûr, mais aussi de son parcours atypique. A 13 ans, Sophie a arrêté ses études pour faire un CAP vitrail, avant de réaliser son rêve de petite fille : devenir une businesswoman. Elle a créé une petite entreprise pour vendre des crêpes en Espagne, puis elle s'est lancée dans la mode responsable. Si elle a toujours eu un complexe de ne pas avoir fait d'études, elle n'a jamais baissé les bras. A 31 ans, elle a décidé de se lancer un nouveau défi en partant aux Etats-Unis, un autre rêve d'enfance, pour créer Antidote. Sophie a un discours très positif pour ne pas culpabiliser les consommateurs. J'ai admiré sa détermination et son optimisme. Je vous souhaite une très bonne écoute! ---- Si vous aimez l’émission n’oubliez pas de laisser 5 petites étoiles sur iTunes et de m’écrire des mots doux en commentaires…c’est ce qui m’aide le plus pour faire connaître le podcast.

Je suis Chloé Cohen votre hôte et je reçois Clara Sharma. Clara vit dans l’Upper East Side à New York, le quartier mythique des séries Sex and the City ou Gossip Girl, avec ses boutiques de luxe. Clara fait un peu office d’exception dans ce quartier, car elle milite pour une mode différente. Nous nous sommes installées dans son salon pour parler de son parcours et de son quotidien de jeune entrepreneuse. Elle m’a raconté comment New York a bouleversé sa façon de voir les choses. Il y a encore quelques années, Clara était une fashion victim, elle était obsédée par la mode. Mais en décembre dernier elle a décidé de lancer son site Iconable. Une plateforme pour vendre des vêtements éco-responsables et surtout un endroit pour faire connaître la mode éthique et pour alerter sur les dangers de l’industrie textile. Clara est avocate de formation, elle est passionnée par les droits de l’homme. On l’entend dans notre conversation, elle pourrait en parler pendant des heures. Avec frénésie, sensibilité, honnêteté, son discours m’a touchée et m’a fait réfléchir, alors j’espère que vous aussi en l’écoutant, vous en apprendrez plus sur l’industrie de la mode, et que peut-être vous changerez, ne serait-ce qu’un petit peu, votre façon de voir un t-shirt ou une robe.
