Ep. 59 - Sustainable Fashion, Being an Example Versus Preaching & The Power of Optimism with Megan Faletra

The Well Essentials was founded by Global Health Dietitian Megan Faletra, and inspires others to cultivate a healthy life that is filled with intention, and rooted in love and compassion, both for ourselves, for others, and for the greater world around us.

We Talk About:

• Sustainable fashion 101 - what is it
• How to go through your wardrobe mindfully
• How to shop sustainably, why it matters and who it effects
• The pros and cons of donating clothes
• Making positive changes for the environment and sustainability
• The power of starting small
