Homethings
Introducing (RE)ACTION by Homethings, the podcast that sheds light on sustainability whilst throwing shade on companies who try toget away with greenwashing. In a time where Coca-Cola floods our tube adverts with their latest attempt at a recycling campaign (whilstsimultaneously being named the worst plastic polluter in the world) we invite inspirational guests to come have a chat with us and makesome sense of the world they live in. Green might not be your favourite colour, but we think it looks great on you.Follow us for more anti-plastic posts @get_homethings See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
