Sustainability in Everyday Life (Part II) - a podcast by The Science Slot Machine

In part II of our discussion of sustainability ?? the Science Slot Machine team turns to topics like fashion ?, new and holistic approaches ??, and the usual STS (Science and Technology Studies) spin ?. Therefore, scholars like Sheila Jasanoff or Ulrich Brand and their concepts are discussed and put into relation.

HUGE shoutout to Ivana Dimitrova ?? who shared her opinion on and experience with slow fashion. ??  If you are living in Bulgaria and willing to try out the concept of a more sustainable fashion, check out the “Exchange Collective, ?????” community Ivana created.

We are also ultra thankful to Katharina Buiten ??who reminded us about the different approaches towards sustainability and the holistic perspective we could apply to it. ? Don’t forget to look up the digital magazine she represents ?? Tech & Nature, dedicated entirely to sustainable news, solutions, and ideas. 

Some local sustainability startups ?we mention in the episode that you might want to know more about are ?? TooGoodToGo, Refurbed, Rebel Meat, ZIRP Insects, and Damn Plastic. In the sources, you can find a link to a list of all zero waste shops in Vienna. :)

And if you are in the corporate world ? make sure you get more familiar with the idea of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). ?
