Bri's Empire: Recent Episodes
Bri Laverty
Let's talk about doing things sustainably! Rome was not built in a day, Amazon was 20 years in the making, and waking up to overnight success would not be a sustainable way to grow! Everyday I make small steps towards the life and business of my dreams; that growth is able to be sustained!
I run a sustainable fashion company, doing marketing, branding and merchandising for online, and sustainable brands! While I can talk about the need to have sustainable fashion, housing, and cities and how sustainability should reign supreme at the forefront of everything, without providing options for where to shop, what to buy, and how to support the mass supply and demand chain sustainably - I would not be serving the world and making it a better place!
With a degree in Geography, too many years in retail, the wit of an owl, and grace of a butterfly: Welcome to "Life, Grace, And Brilliant Bri"

Grace: the practice of allowing what is to be enough. What has been done cannot be undone. Acknowledge, accept, move past the regret. Grace means: our mistakes now serve a purpose instead of serving shame.

Want to know more about sustainable living and how you can make an impact?
Ask yourself:
- Is what I'm doing making a positive or negative impact?
- If everyone did ____ would it be good or bad on the planet/population/health?
Per square foot of land:
Is this a better use for it than it being nature?
- Positive = life supporting activities: like food production, plants, and housing animals
- Negative = carbon dioxide producing or labor and water intensive processes: Building, digging, paving
We need to think of fashion in terms of sustainability in land use first and foremost. If it doesn't positively impact by supporting life, it is not sustainable.
Bri studied land use and urban planning at the University of Victoria, and applied it to fashion production to learn how to make fashion sustainable. What she learned about fashion processes could be turned into a course, but for now it's a podcast!
