On going Green

Note from the editor, Fab Giovanetti - Editor in Chief

Over the past 12 weeks, the world has experienced a global pandemic.

As we slowed down collectively, encouraging new conversations, refreshing perceptive, and truly thinking about the world we want to live in, the conversation around sustainability and what we can do to protect the earth we live in has become a priority for many — not just the zero-waste warriors out there.

As a company, we took part in the first Plastic Free July challenge in 2018. This year, we want to share with you how you can make a difference, including over 30 tips and hacks you can engage in for the next 30 days to be part of the change.

We talked to cover girl Sara Kiyo Popowa about her journey to becoming a champion and advocate for sustainability. I had the pleasure to (virtually) sit down with Emma Ross from Mamalina to discuss low waste, family life and reflect about the overall impact of lockdown:

I think people are wanting to return to kind of a simpler, more nostalgic way of being and celebrating.

Small little nuggets of news have been appearing online, including how almost two months of the lockdown have left the waters in Venice looking clearer. Will this be enough to inspire a bigger change and a wider conversation about sustainability?

To quote our contributor Charlotte Watkivs:

Pick one ‘eco’ switch and do it really well. It’s far better to focus on acing one habit than it is to try and change too many things.

I truly hope you’ll love reading this issue as much as we loved putting it together.

May this be the catalyst for a greener future.
