Welcome back to the Hive for our last video installment of 2020. From kicking off the year with unprecedented wildfires in Australia to a global pandemic to fights for racial equality, contentious elections, worsening effects of climate change around the world, and now closing it out as the COVID19 pandemic continues to take lives and hold our lives hostage, we won’t be sorry to see the last of 2020. And while there’s no doubt it hasn’t been easy to look on the bright side, we wanted to share with you just a few of the environmental and sustainability successes of a year that might seem anything but successful.

We recently had the pleasure of chatting with Lindsay Karlsen, founder of VALYOS, an eco-friendly online platform for ethical shopping. The amount of research required to find sustainable products and brands is not always possible with life’s busy schedule. This is where VALYOS can help you connect with sustainable brands and second-hand sellers who share your same sustainability values.

Sustainability and Justice

In 2015, the Sustainable Development, or Global Goals, were adopted by the 193 United Nations member states with the landmark 2030 Agenda. These goals are a universal call to action by all countries – rich, poor, and middle-income – to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that every human being enjoys peace and prosperity by 2030.

The 2030 Agenda and the SDGs are ultimately about what makes us human, and are a roadmap to building a sustainable future in the world with care and compassion for each other, and care and compassion for the Earth.
