Sustainability in Everyday Life (Part II)

Update: 2021-01-27

Description

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, Майна” 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). 🧐
