As we celebrate Earth Day 🌎 this week's episode of #LetMeSipPod start with a look at the Netflix documentaries Seaspiracy and a Plastic Ocean 🌊 We ask what can be done to stop the damage caused by overfishing and discarded fishing nets and equipment? How do we create a sustainable way to consume fish? And should intelligent animals be afforded the same rights as humans? 🐬 As H&M launches free suit rentals 👔 for MALES for 24 hours we give your thoughts on the initiative. We ask who are they targeting? Is this their way of trying to rectify the 'coolest money in the jungle' scandal? Is it just a marketing scheme now that lockdown is easing? And why is it not available for women? We also discuss the topic of Packaging - or presenting yourself in a way that does not represent your reality 💸 We ask does this amount to pretending to be something you're not? Can such deception lead to emotional damage? 💔 Are there exceptions to packaging for a job interview or to close a business deal? We then move onto our main topic the George Floyd verdict ✊🏾...the first guilty verdict of a black man killed by white police in America. We ask how did you react? Were you surprised by verdict? Will the sentence hearing in 8 weeks be like another trial? We also touch on the sentences for murder and the issues of unconscious bias, stereotyping and prejudices when it comes to policing 👮🏻‍♂️ What level of mental strength and training is required? Should any officer scared of black people be allowed to carry a gun? Are military police, community policing or even robots realistic alternatives? In light of the killing of Daunte Wright and 16 year old Ma'khia Bryant, just half an our after the verdict, we also question what does the verdict mean for justice for black people going forward? ⚖ Later in the episode we ask would you expect to see black products in Supermarkets? Do the majority of the population need to cater to the needs of minorities? 🌍 If the demand is not there should businesses run services at a loss? And is there any premium to catering to minority groups? We also touch on the growth of UK rap and hip hop music 🎤 Has this been fuelled by the rise of social media such as Tik Tok? Why is the appeal of Black music so well received globally? 🎶When it comes to worldwide consumption is it comparable only to white pop music?
