It’s been a little over a month since the start of @remakeourworld’s #NoNewClothes challenge and y’all it’s getting tough 😩😩 I have some events coming up that need specific outfits (eg, a little black dress for a bachelorette party!) so I’m trying to stick to secondhand or if totally necessary to buy new, high quality + ethically made 💖 I’ve also been wrapping up reading The Conscious Closet by @ElizabethLCline for book club discussion with @hippiemoji and won’t stop talking about my impending closet clean out.. lots of excellent step by step tips for a closet audit in @acteevism’s ebook 🦋 lmk if you have any other things you ask yourself before a purchase!!

This week!! we are continuing our Climate 101 education with a timely summer topic: the current heat waves, wildfires, and massive droughts being experienced in the American West. 🏜 We'll figure out what a heat waves actually is, plus learn about the nuances contributing to our 20+ year megadrought. 🤒 Spoiler alert: climate change is worsening natural occurances. We also better understand wildfires: how they start and what is making them so severe and frequent.🔥 Ep 152 wherever you listen to podcasts as per ush!! 🌈💖✨⛺️🦋
We read Migrations by @CharlotteMcConaghy in May... and we LOVED it. 💖 Jessica Clifton of @impactforgood shares how she strategically crafted her career as a sustainability influencer, we chat about our reading habits, and then thoroughly unpack what has been named one of the best novels of 2020. 📚Migrations centers around Franny Stone, a women who seems constantly on the run, as she follows what is believed to be the final migration of the Arctic terns. 🕊The novel has been discussed as 'climate fiction,' and both Jessica and I found that label totally believable as we unpack themes of mass extinction, overfishing, conservationism... so nicely packed into big stories of love, loss, and personal evolution. 🌈 We discuss the book's so-well-picked, intentional symbols, timeline hopping, and of course the wild ending!! Our episode has spoilers (there was just so much to discuss!) and glowing reviews. Book Club Ep 151 is available wherever you listen to podcasts!! It’s a fun one 🥰 Next month we are reading The Conscious Closet by @ElizabethLCline with Moji Igun @hippiemoji 🦋
The Arctic is warming almost twice as fast as the rest of the planet... yikes! 😧 There are more headlines each day about the rapidly rising average temperatures - as of this month, early June, almost all of the Arctic is at or above freezing. 🥵 This isn't the only issue though (dare I say it's just the tip of the iceberg??) ... we're going to better understand how warmer winters make way for more problematic, otherwise typically warm summers. ☀️We're defining the albedo effect, or polar amplification, and the feedback loop that keeps this Arctic warming constant. Another shocking news bit is big ice sheets breaking off - how does glacial calving happen? 🧊We'll get clear on the difference between icebergs and glaciers (and why the Titanic hit one and not the other).... 🚢❄️ and wrap up with some fun facts that will hopefully win you a point or two at trivia night: why skiiers always seem to be sunburned, and how Antartica is actually the world's biggest desert. 🎿 download this quickie climate 101 episode 150 of ECO CHIC wherever you listen to podcasts 💘 links to Apple podcasts + Spotify are always in the bio background image is of course from the iconic @lisafrank + I thought this ep would be a PERFECT scene to set for our book club conversation of Migrations, which centers around a woman following Arctic terns (the bird with the largest migratory pattern!! they can fly around the earth twice in a year!!)
new week, new morning routine…? ✨ it seems like *everyone* is taking collagen lately! I felt like I was missing out on some big trend or skipping a step in my beauty routine - I haven’t given it a try because traditional collagen supplements are animal derived products 🐮 SO I was on the hunt for a vegan alternative… and @carolynyachanin , founder + ceo of @copinaco breaks down the science of the plant based collagen boost PLUS chats all about beauty standards with me on Ep 149 💘
should the climate crisis be politicized??? 🌎🤔 last month for Book Club we read Bill Gates’ How To Avoid A Climate Disaster with Zahra of @soulful_seeds - we both generally enjoyed the book as an easy intro for the general public to climate change, but ONE of our biggest qualms was how apolitical the book stayed about funding, elections, + why it’s “hard” to get solutions underway 📚 thoughts?? Did you read the book, and have other qualms?? LMK 💖 whether or not you read the ~controversial~ April pick, you can listen to us critically discuss How To Avoid A Climate Disaster on Ep 148 ✨links to Apple Podcasts + Spotify are always in my bio!! 💛 pic by @sea_rose_creative 🌹
We're sharing one of our most personal, coming-of-age episodes yet - we're speaking beauty standards, acne and skin "flaws", and coming-of-age realizations of body dismorphia (tw). 🌹 @CarolynYachanin is the creator of @CopinaCo, plant-based collagen boosts. 🌱 Collagen is often touted as the wellness additive you just need in your beauty routine - but if your beauty supplements are coming from animals, that's a whole other can of worms to come to terms with with an ethical, healthy lifestyle. 🥴 Carolyn discusses her journey to creating a product, one of the firsts of its kind, and how she has hustled Copina Co into shops like @ErewhonMarket, @Anthropologie, and @UrbanOutfitters. 🦋 We also discuss the need for a revamp of our collective definition of "beauty" - instead, let's focus on treating ourselves well, feeling our bests, and staying happy and confident in our own skin. 💖 This episode is jam-packed with business tips plus some deeply vulnerable conversations on beauty and self-love. ✨ Ep 149 is available wherever you get your podcasts!! as always - Apple Podcasts + Spotify links in bio 💛💛💛 also we have a code - ECOCHIC will get you 15% off your @CopinaCo 😍
BOOK CLUB TIME 📚In April we read Bill Gates' latest: a manual on climate change for the general public, How To Avoid A Climate Disaster, with environmental justice advocate + influencer (and my friend!) Zahra Biabani of @Soulful_Seeds. 🌎 The nonfiction work has received lots of press and praises from mainstream outlets, so we were intrigued - but the climate and sustainability community online was largely outspoken in its distaste for a billionaire-authored book on the climate crisis. 👀 Zahra shares a bit of insight on the influencer controversy with the book, and we share similar sentiments of ickiness. 🥲 We critically break down what we liked and didn't like; we discuss energy poverty, agriculture, environmental justice, geoengineering... all of it. We finish with our out-of-5 ratings and review of the book. ✨ Next month we will be reading Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy - our first fiction book club pick! 💘 Migrations is a novel about a researcher in Greenland following the migration of Arctic terns (birds - I’m already obsessed) + evolves into her story of love, family, + crime. 👀 This book has it all!! @Goodreads describes it as “an ode to a disappearing world and a breathtaking page-turner about the possibility of hope against all odds.” We will be reading with Jessica Clifton of @ImpactForGood. 🦋 if you read this book, PLEASE tell me what you’d rate it!! 👌💖 chatty, value-packed, + an excellent download: ep 148 is available wherever you listen to podcasts!!! 🎧
@AshleePiper on collective vs individual sustainability, and why it is *not* one of the other!! ♻️💖 we had such a good time chatting about influence, book deals (and the whole road to her publishing her iconic book, Give A Sh*t) + individual action ✨ ep 147 wherever you find your podcasts!! a fabulous chatty friendly Sunday listen if I do say so myself 🤩
@emmasirena, founder + ceo of @finalstraw breaks down the issues associated with our push away from single use plastics - do we have the infrastructure to support compostable or biodegradable plastic alternatives? How do we get to a place where oil based single use plastics are truly a thing of the past? ✨ we keep going into the nuances of the plastic crisis on Ep 145!! 💘
We're joined this week by one of my very first guests and very favorite people in the sustainability space - @AshleePiper!! 💖Ashlee is a TV personality, sustainability consultant, and author of Give A Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save The Planet - which has become quite the golden ticket, go-to guidebook for both aspiring and seasoned sustainability advocates. 🌎 We talk all about influence, and how to communicate with audiences both online and IRL, and what it means to be an 'influential' person online in this special, relatively new world of eco-activism. ✨ We speak about greenwashing and misconceptions in the movement. 👀 I ask the burning question: how did you write a book? 📚 Ashlee, the realest woman around, gives us all the details from conception to publishing, and how the reception of her book has continued to evolve over time. Lastly, we speak about the individual action in sustainable living, versus collective, policy-driven action - should it be one or the other? 🌈 this very fabulous + fun Ep 147 is available wherever you get your podcasts!! 🦋 links in my bio always to Apple Podcasts + Spotify 💘
@beanieboamah, founder of @hanahana_beauty, on how she thoughtfully crafted a business that supports women in every stage - from the co-op in Ghana she sources her shea butter from, all the way to the consumer enjoying her (delicious! lux! silky! wonderful!) product ✨ we talk: access, ethics, self care + more. 🦋 ep 146 seriously you have got to listen to this one!! 💘
hot take: “sustainable fashion” can mean A LOT of things; there’s no one way to be a conscious consumer!! ✨ also - screen shot for your sustainable fashion mantra for the season. tag me so I can see how you’re practicing environmentalism in your wardrobe this summer season. 🥰 I am a big rental girl lately!! keeps me from buying things I don’t need or acquiring statement pieces I don’t wouldn’t wearing regularly.👗 also on a personal mission to teach myself more mending 💘
We are speaking to the thoughtful, empowering, badass woman behind the most fabulous, transparent, ethical beauty brand I've known yet - Abena Boamah-Achempong, @beanieboamah , founder of @Hanahana_Beauty! ✨Hanahana began as a line of whipped shea butter, created through Abena's own desire for a moisturizer that both reflected her cultural roots and wasn't full of weird filler ingredients. 💘 Abena shares with us her childhood in a Ghanian household, her impactful travels to Ghana, and how she continues to support her community through her business. 🌈 Her time as a public school teacher influenced Abena's understanding of ethics and access, and she's since ensured that Hanahana holds itself to high standards: fair wages, ethical sourcing, and holistic sustainability. 🌎 We learn how shea butter is made (honestly, wow!) and how the beauty industry has watered down such a culturally precious ingredient. 🦋Plus, we chat about how Abena practices self-care and boundary setting as an innovator and industry leader. 💫 This conversation was seirously so much fun (lots of laughs) and so jam-packed with value - Abena and Hanahana are likely the best examples of true sustainability I've learned from. 💛💛💛 download episode 146 wherever you find your podcasts!! 💛
Our Earth Week episode has me fired up about the topic that first brought many of us into sustainable living: the plastic crisis! 🥤We're joined today by Emma Rose Cohen, @emmasirena , the CEO and founder of Final, creators of @FinalStraw—the world’s first reusable, collapsible straw that raised nearly $2 million on Kickstarter. 💸 We're talking all about the product idea that that totally took the internet by storm: resourcefulness, building community, and of course, everything about fighting single-use. ✨ We also chat about our collective qualms with the recycling economy, greenwashing, corporate sustainability, and innovative plastic alternatives. ♻️ Prior to launching Final, Emma earned a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience from University of California, Santa Barbara and received a Master’s Degree from Harvard in Environmental Management and Sustainability. 📚She then spent four years working in the Waste Minimization Department at Los Alamos National Laboratory. 👩🔬In the last decade, Emma’s passion for sustainability motivated her to help found a nonprofit, @save_the_mermaids, with a mission to educate children about the harmful effects of single-use plastics. 🧜♀️ Since 2018, Emma has grown Final from a one product company to a company with an entire line of convenient, sustainable alternatives. 🤩 Waste is just a design flaw. 👏 Download Ep 145 wherever you get your podcasts!! 🎧 FYI: Apple Podcasts is migrating something internally, so if you for whatever reason can’t find ECO CHIC in the search bar, it should be there for you soon! BUT I am always available on Spotify (or wherever else you find pods!!) 💖
