Misha Nonoo is a New York-based womenswear designer who was the first to pioneer on-demand manufacturing in a move to dramatically reduce environmental impact and improve the way scaling businesses operate. This model sees each garment cut and sewn in response to every individual order, reducing inventory waste by 90%. Every year, 80 billion pieces of new clothing are purchased globally. However, from production to consumption, the global fashion industry is one of the most resource intensive and wasteful business sectors. In fact, according to the United Nations, the fashion industry contributes more to climate change than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Against that backdrop, the fashion industry's heavy reliance on female workers in the global south greatly impacts gender and social equity standards. A 2019 Oxfam report found that 0% of Bangladeshi garment workers and 1% of Vietnamese garment workers earned a living wage. In this episode, Nonoo discusses what sustainability looks like in fashion and the need for reinvention of the fashion and textile industries as the world charges towards its 2030 climate and sustainability goals.

The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-recognized lecturer, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of death in America—heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more—and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives. The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The 15 leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger's advice, all of it backed up by peer-reviewed scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer. History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug—and without the side effects. What about liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (our #1 killer)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to help prevent the disease, but arrest and even reverse it. In addition to showing what to eat to help prevent the top 15 causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen—a checklist of the foods we should try to consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.
