Elle chats with Arti Jalan, founder of Forage and Sustain, an online business and community that includes a curated marketplace, immersive workshops and conscious coaching and consulting for small businesses. Her mission is to help others understand how we can make sustainability widely accessible. 

Arti shares her own awakening story, which occurred in phases and they chat about making sustainable choices, conscious consumerism, ditching big box stores for local, allocating resources to enact change within local communities and her idea of "radical reciprocity". 

Arti defines the gift economy as "we-centered", describes how we can give back in meaningful ways, and provides some questions to ask before you make a purchase or bring something into your home.
