How can we support sustainability markets to grow when conscious consumers, by nature, are trying to buy less?   Andrea Plell is the Founder of Ecologique, a PR, communications, and event production company, the Co-Founder of Sustainable Fashion Alliance, and the West Coast Regional Director of Fashion Revolution USA. She shares her wisdom with us on this episode.   HIGHLIGHTS: [8:31] Andrea: "There wasn't a job out there for something like this at the time, so I ended up creating the role for myself."
