In Episode 331, Kestrel welcomes Ben Mead, the Managing Director of Hohenstein Institute America, to the show. In Ben's role, he serves as the company's liaison with government agencies, industry collaborations and trade associations, and he also oversees OEKO-TEX® responsibilities for the U.S. “You can't make any real good decision around chemistry or you know how a product is made, if you don't know who's making it and what's going into it.” -Ben MAY THEME — HOW TOXIC CHEMICALS FROM OUR CLOTHES MOVE AROUND THE WORLD It is a tumultuous time when it comes to policy, and policy that is specifically impacting global supply chains. Not only immediately, when we think about tariffs and the unclear, yet very real, impacts they will have on fashion businesses, but also legislation across the world that has either passed or is on the table, and requires fashion companies to be more tuned in to the actual impacts of their supply chains. These bills have without a doubt brought fear and stress to many fashion brands, because if they haven't been mapping their supply chains previously, it's going to prove very difficult for them to comply with some of these new requirements. What should brands know about these changing regulations? How can they navigate the shifting landscape, and what should they be doing now? As this week's guest reminds us, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, but there are things brands can be doing to rethink their supply chains and expand their approach to sustainability.

Forever chemicals, also known as PFAS, are found in virtually every corner of the world, including in most people’s bodies. These synthetic compounds have been linked to a wide range of health issues — from infertility to cancer to neurological problems — even at low levels of exposure. In a new book, They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals, investigative journalist Mariah Blake lays out how these toxic chemicals became so ubiquitous. Blake spoke with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu about a group of unlikely activists fighting back against those responsible and offers practical tips to protect yourself.For some resources recommended by Blake, go to the National Science Foundation’s page on PFAS in drinking water.

This week Tee is thrilled to welcome Andrea Dahr for a chat about the life-changing power of switching to clean products. Andrea is a clean living advocate and founder of Switch Natural a revolutionary app that helps women & men live cleaner lives by altering daily product purchases and quickly and easily identifying any potentially harmful ingredients or toxic chemicals while providing relevant research and product information.  When Andrea found herself in a high-risk pregnancy with twins in 2014, she was determined to eliminate additional health risks by switching to non-toxic cosmetics, cleaning products, and kids products. Upon learning that these products are largely unregulated, Andrea started educating herself on ingredients and avoiding those associated with adverse health effects.  Tee and Andrea's chat highlights the misleading nature of ‘clean' labels, the cumulative exposure to toxins, and the hidden dangers of ingredients listed as 'fragrance.' Andrea also offers practical tips for reducing indoor pollutants, choosing non-toxic household and personal care items, and understanding ingredient lists. The episode also contrasts U.S. and European chemical regulations and emphasizes the need for incremental changes and community support to reduce toxic loads and make healthier, informed choices.

Senum is an adventuring storyteller, filmmaker, writer, community activist, and former legislator. From her website, the Foghorn Express: My name is Reinette Senum and I am a Human Foghorn. I have given into it. I can't fight it.... it's in my blood. My Great Great Grandfather Edward Funston's Congressional campaign was "Foghorn Funston, the Farmer's Friend." His son, Frederick Funston, a major general, would find himself getting yanked off the US Presidential ticket as the VP running mate of Theodore Roosevelt -- because Frederick could not stop being a human foghorn; touting a new foreign-policy known as imperialism expansionism. You didn't think I was serious did you? ​I can stand in one place, do nothing, and still sound like a foghorn. After coming to this conclusion many years ago, I have relegated myself to knowing the understanding that it is my job to alert the general public of the hidden stories around us as well as beyond. I mean beyond, beyond. That is why you will not only hear and read about modern tales, but how tales of yesteryear continue to influence us today. Follow Reinette Senum on her Substack

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…" It is striking how much these immortal words, written by Charles Dickens in the mid-19th century at the height of the Industrial Revolution, still apply today. We live in a similarly paradoxical era, only a more complex one. It was during Dickens' time that we began down the unstainable path of prioritizing industry over ecological health, mainly because we were captivated by the hope of progress, or resigned to its inevitability. These conditions really haven't changed. What is different is the accelerated pace of change. Most of the technological comforts we take for granted occurred within the past one hundred years, including electricity, which almost nobody had access to one hundred years ago.So how do we best live and love in modern times? Perhaps the key is to escape the boundaries of time. Both men on this program have stepped outside the conventions of their day. They have left behind modern technological conveniences and chosen to directly encounter the natural world. Thomas Rain Crowe, following the tracks of Thoreau, retreated to his own cabin in the woods, where he lived without electricity and running water for four years. Marc Thibault has ventured deep into the Amazon rainforest on many occasions. He just came back a couple of days ago.What have these men learned about life while indigenizing themselves to the land? Can we remember what it is to be fully human and learn to live and love in the broadest possible sense? What do kinship systems of nature teach us about love? Can modern society learn to go beyond insular love between two humans and become one with the Beloved, one with the Great Mystery of life we are all so privileged to experience.ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Thomas Rain Crowe is an internationally published author, editor, and translator of more than thirty books, including the multi-award winning memoir Zoro's Field: My Life in the Appalachian Woods (2005). He is also a publisher himself (New Native Press) which publishes works of environmental activism and cultural preservation. He was born and raised in Cullowhee, NC. in the Appalachian mountain region of western North Carolina, and this laid the foundation for his literary endeavors and also shaped his profound connection to his land based cultural heritage. During the 1970s he lived abroad in France and then returned to the US, moving to San Francisco, where he became editor of Beatitude (Be-at-a-tood) magazine and press in San Francisco, which made him one of the “Baby Beat” generation. From 1979-1982, he moved back to the woods of western North Carolina to live in the aforementioned cabin where he composed Zoro's Field. His literary repertoire includes poetry collections, essays, and books that delve into themes encompassing nature, spirituality, social issues, and the human condition. Beyond his original poetry, Crowe became renowned for his skillful translations of contemporary and historical European, Sufi, and Hindu poets, including his most recent publication, a masterful translation of select Kabir poems entitled Painting from the Palette of Love, which I might add, I just devoured over the last two days.  For a quarter century Marc Thibault has been involved in the social and environmental impact sphere as an entrepreneur, system thinkers and policy influencer covering a wide span of industries and issues developing novel solutions requiring human-centered design while integrating environmental and social concerns. His spent 10 years pioneering model-driven decision support systems until he had his first life-changing epiphany, when he realized how much modern humans, especially children, were exposed to toxic chemicals. Being a father of two boys, he devoted the next 15 years to solving environmental health issues working across the private, public and non-profit sectors and has also worked with hybrid B corps to provide plant based alternatives to toxic chemicals and better protect our children – And then he had his second life changing experience in 2012 when he visited the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest which led him to starting Nativien (an Indigenous-centered hybrid organization using the universal language of medicinal plants). He is currently active in supporting Indigenous Peoples to create a network of Living Pharmacies throughout the Amazon Rainforest, with three essential goals: 1) bring about a biocultural economy, 2) strengthen Indigenous Traditional Knowledge systems, and 3) change the way moderns relate to the natural world and traditional Indigenous communities.

In this eye-opening episode of "The Shift with CJ," CJ explores an often overlooked aspect of our health—our clothing. While many are meticulous about their workouts and nutrition, few consider the impact of the clothes they wear. CJ delves into the journey of our clothes, from production to our wardrobes, highlighting the harmful chemicals involved and their potential health risks. The discussion covers the environmental impact of the fashion industry and offers practical tips for making safer and more sustainable clothing choices.Key TakeawaysChemical Exposure in Clothing: Many clothes, especially those from fast fashion retailers, contain harmful chemicals such as azo dyes, formaldehyde, nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), and glyphosate, which can cause skin irritation, allergies, and other serious health issues.Environmental Impact: The fashion industry is a significant polluter, second only to oil. The production of textiles involves substantial use of water, pesticides, and insecticides, contributing to environmental degradation and microfiber pollution.Health Risks: Chemicals used in clothing can cause a range of health problems, from respiratory issues and skin conditions to more severe long-term effects like cancer and endocrine disruption.Importance of Washing New Clothes: Washing new clothes can help remove surface chemicals, though multiple washes may be necessary to reduce the presence of more stubborn substances.Sustainable Choices: Opting for organic cotton, vintage and thrift shopping, and sustainable brands can reduce chemical exposure and environmental impact.Five Actions to Improve Your Life TodayWash New Clothes Thoroughly: Always wash new clothes before wearing them to reduce chemical exposure. Multiple washes may be required for more stubborn chemicals.Choose Organic Materials: Look for clothing made from organic cotton and other natural fibers, which are less likely to be treated with harmful chemicals.Be Mindful of Fast Fashion: Reduce your reliance on fast fashion. Invest in higher quality, durable clothing that is safer and has a lower environmental impact.Support Sustainable Brands: Seek out and support brands that prioritize sustainable and ethical production practices. These companies are often transparent about their use of materials and chemicals.Embrace Thrift Shopping: Vintage and thrift shopping are excellent ways to find unique, less chemically treated clothes while reducing waste and supporting sustainable fashion.CJ's discussion highlights the hidden dangers lurking in our wardrobes and emphasizes the importance of making informed choices about the clothes we wear. By washing new clothes, choosing organic materials, being mindful of fast fashion, supporting sustainable brands, and embracing thrift shopping, we can protect our health and the environment. Tune in next time for more insights on living a healthier, more mindful life.

Thank you so much for your generosity, happy holidays and we'll see you in the new year. It's time to air out some of fast fashion's dirty laundry. Recently, fast-fashion retailer Shein was in the headlines over a paid influencer trip to one of its factories in China. It's also facing allegations that range from labor rights abuses to high levels of carbon emissions. Sustainable-fashion writer Alden Wicker's new book, “To Dye For: How Toxic Fashion Is Making Us Sick” documents another gritty side of the industry: the toxic chemicals used to make the clothing many companies sell. As it turns out, there aren't many laws in the U.S. to prevent those chemicals from ending up in our clothes. “It’s a pretty untenable situation that we’re putting this all on consumers who largely do not have a degree in chemistry to protect themselves from what we know are hazardous chemicals,” Wicker said. On the show today, Wicker explains why harmful chemicals are in our clothing, how flight attendants became a breakthrough case for toxic clothing and how more regulation could help ensure safer practices in the fashion industry. Plus, what consumers can do to reduce their exposure. Then, more on harmful chemicals: A recent study found a type of “forever chemical” is uncomfortably common in the U.S. water supply. And, the pending merger between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard got a big push forward from a federal judge this week. We'll get into why the decision is a major blow to the Federal Trade Commission. Later, a listener shares an adorable cartoon that has Kimberly Adams written all over it. Plus, this week’s answer to the Make Me Smart question is a lesson on the power of language. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Shein, the fast-fashion giant, hits roadblocks” from The Washington Post “Are your clothes making you sick? The opaque world of chemicals in fashion” from The Guardian “The incredible story of how hatmakers really did ‘go mad’ 300 years ago” from Business Insider “Influencers are under fire for praising working conditions in Shein’s clothing factory despite abuse allegations” from NBC News “Toxic Chemicals in Shein and Other Fast Fashion Clothing” from Insider “What Is Prop 65? And Why Is There a Warning Label on This Thing I Bought?” from The New York Times “How to remove PFAS — aka forever chemicals — from drinking water” from Vox “Tap water study detects PFAS ‘forever chemicals' across the US” from U.S. Geological Survey “Microsoft Can Close Its $75 Billion Buy of Activision Blizzard, Judge Rules” from The Wall Street Journal ‘“USA Geography” Features Humorous Illustrations Of Each State” from Bored Panda “The Slowdown” podcast from APM We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question.
