Greenwashing - the act of presenting products as eco-friendly but in actuality proves no effort in environmental impact has become very mainstream.

In today’s episode we dive into the consequences of these exploitative corporate acts, true sustainability and what it means to move sustainably. And a bonus for this special episode, we’ll present a cool sustainable project: TILT (link here). The overall lesson of today’s episode is that "one is enough to make a ripple, but many makes a change."
