How can I give up plastic? What is fast fashion and why is it a problem? In this episode, I’m joined by Elana Jadallah (@elanaloo) — a photographer, educator, marketing strategist and environmental advocate for a conversation about sustainable living and plastic pollution. We discussed how you can take responsibility for your personal role towards the current state of the planet and the action steps you can take right now to make a positive impact in the world.
