Creating a More Sustainable, Eco-Friendly World – Episode 122

It has been some time since our last episode, and I’m so thrilled
to be back today with someone who is sure to inspire you to live
a m­­­ore sustainable, waste-free life, while encouraging your
community to do the same – and it’s perfect timing as this
episode is being released on America Recycles Day, which
recognizes the importance and impact of recycling.


Manuela Barón is a Colombian-American sustainability activist,
artist and founder of The Girl Gone Green, which is an inclusive
community that fosters social and environmental change and
encourages people to live more consciously.


Manuela also is an ambassador for our partners at Merrell, and
she is doing some really impactful work to educate and bring
awareness to environmental issues and more sustainable
lifestyles.

building community. You’ll also learn:
