Episode 95: The Greenwashing Detective Academy (featuring Garik of Eco-Stylist)

<p>Garik--the founder of <a href="https://www.eco-stylist.com/">Eco-Stylist</a>--drops by to talk about all of the different ways brands engage in greenwashing (aka when they confuse us into giving them our money by offering us the illusion that they are doing something great for the planet and its people).  We'll debunk the Loooooop machine, explain how greenwashing claims begin to look like hard facts, and reveal some of the surprising greenwashing culprits out there! And Garik will share his favorite truly sustainable/truly ethical brands. <br> Find the Eco-Stylist directory<a href="https://www.eco-stylist.com/sustainable-brands/"> here.</a> And go give a follow on IG:  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yourecostylist/">@yourecostylist</a><br><strong>Listeners can use code CLOTHESHORSE for 20% off any </strong><a href="https://www.eco-stylist.com/sustainable-personal-styling/"><strong>personal styling service.</strong></a> </p><p><strong>We have so much EXTRA CREDIT READING/VIEWING (Thanks to Garik):</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.edie.net/news/7/Report--60--of-sustainability-claims-by-fashion-giants-are-greenwashing/"><strong>"</strong>Report: 60% of sustainability claims by fashion giants are greenwashing,"</a> <strong>Edie Newsroom. </strong><em>This is a great gateway to several studies of greenwashing and synthetic fabrics.</em></p><p><strong><em>From Eco-Stylist: </em></strong><em><br></em><a href="https://www.eco-stylist.com/we-tested-everlane-and-they-failed/">We tested Everlane and they failed.
