What Composting my Underwear Taught Me

• September 2020
Most of us want to be more sustainable, but in our busy lives it can feel too hard, too time-consuming or simply, a drag. In this entertaining and optimistic talk, Nicola Turner suggests we just haven’t seen a version of sustainability we can relate to. She flips the push for consumption to show how being more mindful can increase our time, improve our wellbeing and take better care of the planet, all while having fun.
There’s a trillion-dollar marketing industry convincing us to buy and consume more; make your lashes longer, family more attractive and lives 86.4% better!* Nicola reverses the marketing to show us the alternative of "mindful consumption". This is a version of consumption which is better for our own wellbeing and the wellbeing of the planet. It’s a practical path to make sustainability appealing to the mainstream.
