Description

This week on Everybody in the Pool, sometimes tackling the climate crisis means starting at home, with the things you love. Meagan Downey had a long career in nonprofit work and was looking for a way to have climate impact. She landed on one of her favorite things: giving and wrapping beautiful gifts. She’s now the founder of Shiki Wrap, reusable gift wrap that, if we all got in the pool, could keep millions of pounds of waste out of landfills every year. Also it’s just super pretty and fun!RESOURCES & LINKSShiki WrapFuroshiki: the Japanese wrapping traditionSubscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Please subscribe and tell your friends about EITP!
