Hemp Goes Upscale

Hemp is one of civilization's most ancient, versatile and widely used textiles. Christopher Columbus made his sails out of it. Rembrandt painted on it. The first drafts of the Declaration of Independence were written on it. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew it. Benjamin Franklin owned a mill that processed it. Henry Ford once made a car out of it. Today a new generation of designers and entrepreneurs are working with hemp to inform everything from beauty products to super chic clothing. Joining Josh to discuss contemporary uses of this timeless material are Frank Angiuli, Founder & Designer of Natural High Lifestyle, and Sean Larkin, Founder of Hemp.com.

Season 2 Episode 7

The New Eco-Retailers

As lazy environmentalists we want it to be super easy to access the best of eco-friendly and socially responsible products. We want stores to weed out poorly designed and poorly made products. We want them to vet suppliers to ensure that products are indeed better for the planet. We simply don't have the time to do it ourselves.

The new eco-retailers "get it" and are leveraging design and technology to bring consumers outstanding shopping experiences. Joining Josh to discuss new developments in eco-retail are George Polisner, founder of web shopping portal Alonovo.com, Aysia Wright, founder of the Portland, Oregon-based eco-fashion boutique The Green Loop, and Jim Kloiber, co-founder of TwoKH, an upscale eco-home store in New York City.
