Emma Slade Edmondson: What's your fashion sense like? Is it sustainable... can it ever be? Artwork

Conscious

‘No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.’ Sylvia Earle, Goddess of Ocean Conservation.

Welcome to Conscious. I wanted to make this podcast so that we could, in the face of a tidal wave of environmental bad news, chat to the unsung heroes, normal everyday people with one thing in common - making change happen and inspiring us in the process.

Whether it’s growing their own food, running a sustainable hotel, helping us decide which foods to put on our plate or make-up to slap on our face, or the ins and outs of heating our homes and transporting ourselves without polluting the planet, we will be meeting people from all walks of life who have one thing in common - they are all conscious of the need to change the way we think and the things we do and they have some great ideas.

We’ll rampage through the trials, tribulations and ideals of what it really means to live a life conscious of the affects we are having on our planet.

Please subscribe for some fascinating conversations, as the more we know the better.
