Description

CALLING ALL TREE-HUGGERS! Nicole Rycroft founded Canopy Planet at her kitchen table in Vancouver with a small budget and a big idea - to protect the world’s precious forests.

20 years later, Canopy is one of the leading organisations fighting globally for last frontier forests and engaging business - including the fashion industry - to find alternatives to unsustainably sourced wood in their supply chains.

Do we really use ancient trees to make trivial things? Try pizza boxes and party frocks.

It’s an outrage (and you’ll hear Clare getting mad about it in this chat) but it’s also an opportunity for change, and Canopy is doing something about it.

This bonus Episode was produced in partnership with Fashion Revolution. The theme this year is Rights, Relationships and Revolution. Forests have rights too!
