And honestly, watch the video if you want to know more about them, but here’s the link if you might want to consider buying one (US/Canada shipping only): https://merch.climatetownproductions.com/ And yes we still have a Patreon, except now it’s new and improved with a ton of actually good perks. Support from our Patrons allows us to make videos like the one you probably just watched, and you can check out the options here: https://www.patreon.com/ClimateTown We also have a podcast! It’s called The Climate Denier’s Playbook and you can listen to it right here: https://linktr.ee/deniersplaybook And good lord we have a newsletter too! You can check it out here: https://www.climatetown.news/ And wait there’s actually something we can do about this maybe? Our friends at Climate Changemakers have put together a playbook on how to advocate for better fashion industry regulation with your state legislators: https://www.climatechangemakers.org/fashion-all-access EPISODE SOURCES & CITATIONS: https://www.climatetownproductions.com/youtube/merch A big thank you to Ethix Merch, who guided us through this process, and also runs our merch store for us. If you want sustainable and ethical merch for your company or 5K, you should really check them out: https://ethixmerch.com/ Quick note on the envelope - due to emissions analysis, Ethix is currently using a 100% recycled plastic shipper rather than a recycled cardboard shipper (explained here on their website: https://www.ecoenclose.com/blog/paper-vs-plastic-which-should-i-use-for-my-packaging/). We're moving to a waterproof paper shipper shortly. And another big thank you to TS Designs (Eric, Lydia, and the whole team) for creating shirts we’re proud to have Climate Town printed on. If you’ve been printing Climate Town on other shirts, please stop. And if you’re looking for shirts that don’t bork the environment too hard, made by people who get paid a living wage, check out TS Designs: https://tsdesigns.com/ Oh and that beautiful art on the shirts? Both designs are made by Margalit Cutler, a fantastic artist whose work you can see on their website: https://www.margalitcutler.com/ Special thanks to Jillian Clark (Roboro) for helping us review this episode. And another special thanks to Walking Softer for their support on this episode. And also special thanks to 10 ft Single by Stella Dallas, for letting us film in their beautiful vintage clothing store. And now here’s a short and incomplete list of places you could look at for help finding more sustainable and ethical clothing: SUAY (Los Angeles based, 100% vertical sewing and production shop): https://suayla.com/ Solid State Clothing (direct to consumer from the TS Designs team): https://solidstate.clothing/ Good on You (an app that tells you about clothing companies): https://goodonyou.eco/ Check us out on Nebula: https://go.nebula.tv/climatetown Oh what's that?
