Episode Details

Jenise, co-founder of Thuja, joins Amanda to talk about why she is passionate about educating others about the scourge of greenwashing and ideas for ways we can make better decisions in our own day-to-day lives. We’ll also talk about some of our least favorite greenwashers and greenwashing techniques, like carbon offset and tree planting campaigns. Also: Amanda breaks down the role fashion media plays in not only promoting and perpetuating greenwashing claims, but also legitimizing them and turning them into “facts” by repeating them over and over again.
