How an online platform can revolutionize your shopping habits for a more sustainable planet. An interview with Tara Jafarmadar, CEO of Susty.eco, which is now: Baobab.
In this episode of Environmentality. I interview Tara Jafarmadar Mujica, CEO and one of the co-founders at Susty.eco (now Baobab), an online shopping platform that hosts sustainable products and businesses. The goal of Susty? To simplify and enhance the transparency of your shopping habits, by providing you information about the social, environmental, health and innovating aspects of the product/business you are supporting/buying from. On the show, we discuss the issue of "fast fashion," built obsolescence, and the need for long-lasting, environmentally friendly products.
Futhermore, Tara addresses the two main issues of our consumption: disposability and a lack of external costs factored into the price of our products. Susty.eco promotes companies that are addressing these two main issues. Finally, I ask, "can we really consume our way to sustainability?" Tune in to hear how Tara beautifully addresses this point and how Susty.eco wants to tackle consumption as a whole.
