Fashion is the third largest polluting industry behind fossil fuels and agriculture. Amid the impacts of fast fashion and the climate crisis, I often find myself wondering: how can I be more conscious about my consumption? How can I live more sustainably? How can I make a larger impact? It can be hard to find all the answers to these questions, but education is the first step to dipping your toes in the vast pond of sustainability.
Time is limited in our fast-paced society, which is why our team has decided to put together our favorite eco-conscious podcasts to learn more about taking care of our planet, our communities and ourselves.

Although the climate crisis can be overwhelming, there are outlets and sources we can lean on to support us. Connecting with nature, befriending a sustainable baddie friend, meditation, journaling, and listening to your favorite wellness podcast (as you can tell, we’re big podcast fans).

I personally love to balance the amount of sustainability and wellness podcasts I listen to. My current obsession is learning about garment dyes and regenerative farming, followed by a wellness podcast. The Four Visions Podcast is a great resource if you fancy learning about nature-based healing modalities and shamanic practices. I encourage everyone to expand their knowledge surrounding working with the Earth, she is our greatest teacher and ally.
