It’s the Blue Earth Summit 2024

We were thrilled to return to the Blue Earth Summit 2024 this
time in London. Please check out our instagram feed
@fortheloveofweather to get a flavour of what we got up to.


We captured and shared as many speakers and guests as we could
and yet again we were blown away by the amazing conversations we
had and most importantly people’s willingness to give us their
time to talk about what they were passionate about.


The Blue Earth Summit is held over 3 days and plays host to
5,000+ decision makers, industry pioneers, provocative
thought-leaders, sustainability trailblazers, insightful
solutionists and boundary-pushing start ups. It’s the place to
explore, meet, learn, collaborate and take action.


In this episode of the podcast we speak to three inspiring
individuals.


Nicole van der Velden - Sailor for the Spain SailGP team Gemma
Metheringham - PhD student and found of
@the_elephant_in_my_wardrobe


Coco Peuscet - Marketing manager at Reskinned.


Our first guest is Nicole van der Velden, who is a Spanish-Aruban
sailor. She tells us all about SailGP. Not only are they reducing
their carbon footprint, but they are pushing boundaries in gender
equality in sailing. If you have never seen SailGP, it is like
formula 1 but on water. It is such an exciting sport and it was a
geniune joy to talk to Nicole. Her enthusiasm is infectious! You
can find Nicole on socials at @nicolevelden.


Our second gues is Gemma Metheringham aka
@the_elephant_in_my_wardrobe . She is now a PhD student at
Nottinham Trent and her passion is to understand whether the
growing second hand market can be a lever that decarbonises
mainstream fashion. Gemma talks us through the psychology and
value we place on second hand clothes. It really was a
fascinating chat about what the term 'valuable' means. How do we
feel about clothes if we know the story behind them or if we can
see and try them on versus buying on line. Gemma was inspiring
and thought provoking and we can't wait to see how this journey
goes for her.


Our final conversation in this podcast is with Coco Peuscet, who
is the marketing manager at 'Reskinned'. This conversation
absolutely got our heads in a spin! If you didn't know anything
about new fashion, your jaw will drop when you find out what
happens to most of the clothes that we send back to our well
known brands. Although Coco sees the reality of what happens to
clothes we send back she was full of top tips and really useful
information that is easy for all of us to do. Small things all
add up to make a big difference. You can find Coco Peuscet on
LinkedIn
