This week, Momo and Evy talk to the brilliant Venetia La Manna about making sustainability a factor in our wardrobe choices, and how the animals are not the only victims of the fashion industry we should be speaking up for. Venetia is a climate activist and sustainability expert, and in this episode she speaks about her journey that began with ethical veganism and evolved to her role as a slow fashion advocate which sees her speaking out passionately against the fast fashion industry, and inspiring people to embrace a lifestyle of consuming less. Also in this episode...
- Venetia shares why she considers that going vegan was ‘one of the best decisions’ she’s ever made.
- Venetia talks about her initial resistance to embracing slow fashion, and we talk about what makes someone ‘ready’ to learn about veganism and sustainability.
- Beyond vegan fashion: why cutting out animal derived fabrics isn’t enough.
- What is fast fashion?
- ‘What we’re forgetting is that when a garment is as cheap as it is, someone somewhere is paying for that.
- The similarities between factory farming and fast fashion factories.
- Are vegan materials made from plastic off the table now?
- We discuss whether or not being a sustainable vegan is a privilege or can it be accessible to all?
- What should you do if you can only afford to shop from fast fashion brands.
- Venetia names some of the worst offenders in the fast fashion industry.
- Are influencers helping or hindering the sustainable fashion movement?
- Venetia shares her non-negotiable morning routine and mindfulness practices that keep her mental and physical health in balance.
- Listener question from Jamie about the inherent frustration of being your friends’ ‘vegan google’

| 0:00.0 | Hi and welcome to the Chickpeeps podcast. This episode is brought to you in partnership with Vivo Life. |
| 0:06.9 | Just as no two vegans are the same, no two vegan diets are the same. But whether you're a |
| 0:10.9 | gym-going vegan or a junk food vegan, every diet needs a B-12 supplement. About 40% of the population |
| 0:16.4 | are estimated to be B-12 deficient, but vegans are at the greatest risk, with one study finding that |
| 0:21.2 | 92% of us who didn't supplement were depleted. Obviously, we don't want anyone to get sick |
| 0:26.1 | while living a vegan lifestyle, not just because we care about you guys, but also because it's up to |
| 0:30.4 | each of us to rock our veganism and show others how easy and healthy it can be. For that reason, |
| 0:35.4 | we've teamed up with Vivo Life, who've been awarded |
| 0:37.8 | the best vegan supplement brand two years running at the Veg Fest Awards. Most supplements |
| 0:42.3 | provide B12 in a synthetic form, sciankabalamin, but Vivo Life supplement provides the three |
| 0:48.2 | natural types of B12 in liquid form, meaning it's more easily absorbed into the body. An entirely |
| 0:53.8 | vegan company, Vivo Life makes the supplements into the body. An entirely vegan company, |
| 0:54.9 | Vivo Life makes the supplements we all use on the chickpeeps, and they are certified carbon neutral. |
| 1:00.6 | All of their products are third-party tested for quality and purity, and are certified free from |
| 1:05.5 | heavy metals and over 500 different herbicides and pesticides. We're excited to offer all of our listeners 10% off their first order when they try VivoLife. |
