HEALTH, FITNESS & THE ENVIRONMENT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL & HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER AMRITA NAUL

Today we are joined by Environmental and Human rights lawyer, Amrita Naul. We discuss how health and fitness impact the environment both positively and negatively. Through our lifestyle choices such as diet, what gyms we go to and what clothes we wear, we are directly or indirectly impacting the environment. Amrita debunks how veganism is saving the environment and how we can make better food choices. We talk about how gym owners can adopt more environmentally friendly choices and how the consumer can be more aware and respomsible of services they are buying. Amrita explains the sustainability challenges she faced when starting her own company Chakras and we debate the topic of sourcing materials locally. We delve into the world of fast fashion and gym wear and the viability of buying sustainable or slow fashion gymwear. We finish with basic take home points: Always do your own research when it comes to lifestyle choices such as diet. Start with small and manageable changes such as one meatless day per week, or reading the labels when it comes to buying clothes. Try and buy local where possible.
