A really important topic for me this week on Sustainability.I try to find companies that are choosing to work with a huge respect for the Planet and Presca fit this mould. Delighted to have a great chat with Pete on Prescas inspiring mission to produce fully sustainable sportswear. Their vision is important, reduce plastic, reuse old kit to produce new garments, have a fully closed circuit system by 2022 is impressive.!!!!! We chat about the powers of cold water Therapy,  the importance of breathwork during office hours to reset and focus the brain. And how to keep the kids as motivated as possible during lockdown. Please Keep in mind where you buy your things.Reduce your plastic, give it back to the shop. Question the company vision, is it alligned with your own?
