Description

I came across Carol Miltimore’s work when I was adding to our resources for the Go Low Tox e course’s clothing day. She’s a Brooklyn based designer who spends a fair part of the year in India - her second home. I thought it would be great to chat to Carol about her journey which wasn’t always centred around ethics and sustainability, working for some big brands and mainstream fast fashion in her earlier training. She talks about the challenges, the true cost of fashion if you want it to be ethical and sustainable, and what drives her artistically and environmentally in her work. If you’ve been curious about moving towards more sustainable choices it’s a great show to understand in great detail what goes on behind the scenes from the farming to the dyes, the environment to the manufacturing and then trying to actually cut a break out there and thrive in the very fast page, noisy fashion world of today while staying true to your design values. Enjoy the show and for the show notes and Goodness Me Box offer head to lowtoxlife.com/podcast for today’s show notes.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello! Thanks for being curious about the Low Tox Life podcast. I'm Alexx Stuart, your host, and after writing and researching on health and sustainability for many years at lowtoxlife.com, I am thrilled to bring this podcast to you as an extension of the online community. The concept of living a Low Tox Life is one that rejects perfection, black and white notions of there only being one way to 'do it right'. Instead, we take a relaxed and curious approach to better choices to incorporate into our lives as and if they fit. Low Tox therefore instead of 'no tox' which to most of us who aren't on an off grid hippy commune, just isn't achievable. There's nothing more that makes me sad than having people quit before they begin because you feel like a failure. Let's feel awesome about what we can learn and do from today! On this show, we cover lots of low tox topics around sustainability, health, fashion, farming, lowering our toxic load and mind happiness and with the brilliant minds I'm so grateful to chat with, I just know you'll be inspired as I am from each show. Enjoy, subscribe, pop the kettle on and most importantly: Welcome!
