Episode 137: Carbon Offsets & Other Scams, with Jenise of Thuja

<p>Jenise, co-founder of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wearethuja/">Thuja</a>, 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. <br>Learn about Thuja's crowdfunding campaign <a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/thuja-sustainabilty-at-your-fingertips/coming_soon">here.</a></p><p>Share this article with the people in your life: <a href="https://wearzeitgeist.com/fashion-sustainability-ethics/worst-fast-fashion-brands-to-avoid">The 15 Worst Fast Fashion Brands to Avoid in 2021</a> Still applicable in 2022!!</p><p><strong><em>Athletic Greens is going to give you a FREE 1 year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase.
