With these two market insiders, they talk to us about the products and brands that are on their radar that are actively working on creating more sustainable home design solutions. Of particular note, according to these two journalists, is circularity and how this concept is becoming more of a common practice for many brands in product development. Their observations go beyond the American market, as they frequent fairs in Europe and explain the impact of sustainable home design and the brands that are making the biggest waves.

| 6/25/24 | Episode 10 - The Gratification of Conscious Consumption with Caroline Morrison | As an eco-conscious global citizen, Caroline Morrison's ultra environmentally-forward Californian upbringing informed her foray into entrepreneurship in the French capital by way of Landline, a general supplies store. Determined to leverage her own long-held beliefs about sustainability and positive change, she created a space that allows people to enjoy a bit of retail therapy through an experience focused on conscious consumption. A place where people can invest in well-made household products, toys, clothing, and many other objects, she built a community where the concept is about buying better and less. Caroline explains the importance in creating a shop that is accessible and relatable, while also presenting utilitarian, well-crafted products all made in Europe, to inspire better consumption habits for her customers. She believes that everyone can make positive change on their own micro level by making an effort in how they consume everyday goods.

Motivated to find solutions for some of the most pressing issues we are faced with in society, his work continues to center around improving the conditions of our buildings and spaces.

Faced with the harsh reality that about one third of all landfills are consumed by demolition and construction debris, his company aims to create incentives for people to consider a different path to more conscious building and renovation work.

| 7/24/23 | Episode 02 - The Delights of a Low-Waste Lifestyle with Sasha Stone | Deeply impassioned by the low-waste movement, Sasha was inspired to create Green Life Trading Co., a refillery and low waste e-shop and brick-and-mortar shop in Madison, WI in her journey to reduce her own environmental impact. She believes in a balanced approach in consumption management and low-waste habits and is a major proponent of "progress over perfection.” This is exactly why Sasha believes that the low-waste movement needs to continue to be inclusive and meet people where they are in order to work towards success. With a focus on closed-loop supply chains and sustainable packaging, she prides herself on the product transparency they offer and believes in an imperfect sustainability model to nurture a greener lifestyle. Educating her customers, both in-store and online, is foundational to her business in order for each person to find the products and level of implication that feels right for them.
