What's This Place? Behind the Clicks and Mortar with Miranda Black
I’m Miranda Black, the DeGrowth Diva. In this podcast I talk about my real life Degrowth journey with retailers, businesses and fashion influencers. How do we reduce our carbon footprint in retail? What alternatives are there...what are some easy solutions we can realistically apply to our lives without sacrificing style?Turns out, there are tons of lower carbon choices right here in Canada. Shopping is hard. Acquiring and ethically disposing all our STUFF has never been so complex and fraught with issues from sustainable fashion to garment worker justice to shopping local to zero waste! Who best to get advice about shopping than a former retailer. What's This Place? goes behind the Clicks and Mortar of small businesses at the forefront of the DeGrowth movement to discuss shopping, retailing, caring for and rehoming all your inventory. What’s This Place? Let’s go inside and find out.
