From Random Sustainability Riffs to A New Umbrella Business Blueprint

CarbonSessions

Episode Summary: In this engaging episode, we let the conversation flow organically, leading us into discussions on various aspects of sustainability.

Topics range from paper recycling to the proliferation of thick plastic cups in markets and the visual impact of disposable coffee cups in cafes.

We also examine the environmental footprint of disposable water bottles versus reusable cups and bags, questioning the overproduction of popular items like the colorful Stanley cups.

Additionally, we brainstorm innovative business models for umbrellas, exploring ideas around recirculation and sponsorship.

Tune in as we navigate the complexities of sustainable consumption.
