“50% of clothing that gets created ends up in a landfill in the first year. When we're using way too much resource in the first place, the fact that half of that is going directly to landfill in the first year is insane. And then, what actually makes it into our closets, we wear about 20% of on a trailing 12 month basis. So if you think about just the actual amount of utility that we get out of this massive system is insane. And that's just the waste part of it.” – Vanessa Barboni Hallik Vanessa Barboni Hallik is the founder and CEO of Another Tomorrow, a luxury brand that is doing fashion better. Much much better. They're a B Corp Certified end-to-end sustainable design company with a mission to model a new future for fashion with a fully digitized product eco-system delivering technology-enabled transparency and authenticated recommerce. If other brands would follow Another Tomorrow's lead, humans, the planet and billions of animals would benefit enormously. Vanessa is also an investor in early-stage companies positioned to catalyze systemic change. And she serves on the Advisory Board for Harvard's Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, where current work focuses on the ethics of AI.

"In Montana they allow using dogs to chase down wolves, which essentially becomes like state sanctioned dog fighting. You have this horrible scenario where the packs of dogs are surrounding the wolf pack, and it just comes to a bloody end. These are blood sports. This is something that we should be way beyond as a society." - Collette Adkins Collette Adkins is the carnivore conservation director at the Center for Biological Diversity. She focuses on combating the exploitation and cruel treatment of wolves and other rare wildlife. I wanted to talk to Collette because it's been a while since we've talked about wolves on here, and unfortunately their situation is as dire as ever. Idaho, Montana and Wyoming are killing them as fast as they can and in more horrific ways. One of those ways is that in Idaho, they're shooting wolves from helicopters. And Collette is the primary author of a petition to get this banned. Please listen and share. In gratitude, Elizabeth Novogratz
En este episodio del podcast de yoga hablamos sobre la frustración en la práctica, tanto como alumnos como profesores. ¿Qué hacer cuando no me sale cierta asana? ¿Qué hago cuando me parece que no avanzo lo suficiente en mi practica? Hoy junto con Dara Martínez hablamos de la frustración, de cómo lidiar con ella, trucos para luchar contra la pereza... Pero además, también hablamos de la frustración en el profesor de yoga: ¿puedo ser profe sin hacer todas las posturas? ¿Qué hacer cuándo aparece el síndrome del impostor? Un episodio con un tema por el que todas hemos pasado y en el que Dara nos da solución.

“If you saw a celiac bowl on a menu, you would never order that unless you have celiac disease and you're gluten free. But if you see a Thai peanut rice noodle bowl, that sounds delicious. You're not even thinking about the fact that it's gluten free. It's the same thing with vegan for a lot of people. They think, “oh, that is only for vegans, if I'm not a vegan, that's not for me.'” - Katie Cantrell Katie Cantrell is the Director of Corporate Outreach for the Better Food Foundation and Co-Director of Greener by Default. Greener by Default makes plant-based food the default option in businesses, universities, conferences, and many other places where people eat, while it still gives people the choice to opt into meat or dairy. It's seriously one of the smartest projects that I've ever heard of. Katie also founded the Factory Farming Awareness Coalition where she spent a decade leading food policy workshops at universities, government agencies, and Fortune 500 corporations.

“I think that when the animal protection movement really started gaining hold in the seventies... in the United States at least, I think there was a lot of harm done in the ways that we messaged the connections between humans in marginalized communities and animals. And I think that there's also a dynamic where… communities of color are often struggling for basic rights, basic needs to be met. And so, fighting for others is kind of a nice to have.” - Aryenish Birdie Aryenish Birdie is founder and Executive Director of Encompass, an organization that is fighting to increase effectiveness in the animal protection movement by fostering greater racial diversity, equity, and inclusion while empowering advocates of color. Before founding Encompass, Aryenish was a federal lobbyist at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. She was part of a four-woman team instrumental in reforming the Toxic Substances Control Act to ensure that animal protection language was integrated into the law. Thank you, Elizabeth Novogratz
Take the time to detox your mind and improve your health.You know you should take a few minutes to sit still, but the demands and distractions of modern life make it difficult. Meditation can help you gain focus. You just have to figure out how to work it into your life. Sukey and Elizabeth Novogratz say that if you’re breathing, you’re halfway to meditation. The other half is paying attention to your breath. Misconceptions about meditation may keep you away. You don’t have to sit for hours, be perfectly still or clear out all of your thoughts. It’s okay to acknowledge your thoughts. You may think you need to worry about things or that you can control the universe with your thoughts. Obsessive thinking creates stress. Meditation allows you to observe your thoughts and make decisions about them. Detoxify your thoughts with these simple steps: Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Take four deep belly breaths. (Inhale for three counts, exhale for three counts.) Keep your mind on your breathing but notice when the thoughts come. Start by meditating for two minutes. Slowly increase your time on a daily basis. Listen as Sukey and Elizabeth join Dr. Bond to share how to meditate on a busy schedule so you can detoxify your thoughts.
