In BTT 023, I talk with Julie Kearns—founder of social enterprise, Junket: Tossed & Found, and advocate for environmentally ethical commerce and conscious consumption.

Julie shares how Junket got started, and the recent transition from its vintage shop roots into an online platform modeling eco-friendly, carbon-informed practices. We talk about narcissism as it relates to our stuff, what we don’t see when it comes to donating items, and how small things like paper clips really do add up. Julie shares tips on creative problem-solving and being a more responsible consumer on the front-end and back-end. This enlightening conversation will inspire you to explore sustainability and become a better steward of the environment and the things in your life.
