Jätkusuutlik elustiil - vajadusest ettevõtteni. Intervjuu Elamise Kergus ettevõtte omaniku Monika Kallastega.

Intervjuu jätkusuutliku elustiili poe Elamise Kergus omaniku Monika Kallastega. Eestis uus ja üks esimesi seesuguseid poode, kust leiad vaid plastivabasid, komposteeruvaid, orgaanilistest materjalidest ning vegantooteid teadlikule tarbijale. Monikale läheb korda, mida ta tarbib ja milliseid valikuid iga päev teeb. Tema jaoks on tähtis, et toit, mida tema pere sööb on puhas ja täisväärtuslik ning et tooted, mida tarbivad, ei kahjustaks tervist ega keskkonda. Ta proovib alati valida loodussõbralikumad, vähem keemilised, naturaalsed tooted naftast toodetud masstoodangu asemele. Alati muidugi ei saa, kuid väikeste sammude kaupa küll. Monika jagas meiega oma põhjuseid, miks hakkas otsima alternatiivseid tooteid, mis oleksid keemiavabad, saastaksid vähem või lihtsalt toodaksid vahem prügi. Samuti kuulete tema teekonda ettevõtte loomisest füüsilise poe avamiseni. Räägime ka sellest: kuidas toimub toodete valik sortimenti mis on jätkusuutliku toote hinna taga millised on hetkel kõige populaarsemad tooted kuidas alustada teadlikumat tarbimist millistest toodetest alustada, kui soovid senised tooted ümber vahetada jätkusuutlikumate vastu Saates mainitud tooted: Ecoegg® Laundry Egg pesupesemise muna: https://www.elamisekergus.ee/et/a/ecoeggr-laundry-egg-pesupesemise-muna-kevadlillede-lohnaga Bambaw raseerija alusega https://www.elamisekergus.ee/et/a/bambaw-raseerija-alusega-hobedane Vahariie https://www.elamisekergus.ee/et/c/vahariie-1 Tahked šampoonid https://www.elamisekergus.ee/et/c/tahked-sampoonid 3-1 korduvkasutatav küpsetuspaber https://www.elamisekergus.ee/et/c/3-1-korduvkasutatav-kupsetuspaber Elamise Kerguse kohta leiate lähemalt infot: www.elamisekergus.ee Sustainability School tegemiste kohta saad rohkem uurida: https://sustainabilityschool.co/ ja https://www.instagram.com/sustainability_school/
