From Tequila to Tween Skincare - Can these Businesses be a Force for Good?
<p>Elise Som is the serial entrepreneur behind Mijenta, a B Corp tequila made with recycled glass bottles and just three ingredients, and Bare la Terre, a compostable kids' skincare line her daughter asked her to build. On the pod, she and Jamila get into why simpler products are actually cheaper to make, why ESG departments are mostly talk without action, and why banning kids from skincare doesn't work when they can just buy it themselves. Plus, the "Ethical or Questionable" round covers B Corp, sustainability degrees, and the sorry state of plastic recycling.</p><br><p>Ethically Questionable is electrified by Polestar, the Swedish electric performance brand created to accelerate the shift to zero tailpipe emissions.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

They get into art washing versus the real thing, why nude art isn't the problem but objectification is, and whether blowing up a van of banknotes counts as art or just very well-funded protest.</p><br><p>Ethically Questionable is electrified by Polestar, the Swedish electric performance brand created to accelerate the shift to zero tailpipe emissions.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
