Buy Sustainable Fashion, Protect the Earth: Hempy's - a podcast by Nathan Gardner

How we shop matters. Everything we buy has impact. We can support companies whose products protect human rights and the planet, or not. Join us for a conversation with Kenneth Smith, CEO of  Hempy's, for an honest look at fashion and how we can make it better. Kenneth has been aware of the potential that alternative materials like hemp have for years as the owner of a hemp clothing line based in San Diego, CA. Kenneth educates us on the endless uses for hemp, how it could transform our environment and our industries, and why it was blacklisted for over 100 years. Hemp is one of the most versatile and sustainable materials on the planet - good for business, good for us, and good for the Earth. Yet growing it was restricted until late 2018. Is it time for hemp's 21st century moment?  Hemp goes way beyond CBD. Listen in and learn how you can be part of hemp's next chapter.

TAKEAWAYS: 1: We have countless underutilized resources like hemp, which can support our environment and transform our world. 2: It’s time for the next chapter in the story of hemp. Let’s help it grow. 3: We don’t need EVERYONE to change the world, just ENOUGH of us. We explore the idea of critical mass, and examples of it in history.
