(RE)ACTION
20 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 4 years ago -Introducing (RE)ACTION by Homethings, the podcast that sheds light on sustainability whilst throwing shade on companies who try to
get away with greenwashing. In a time where Coca-Cola floods our tube adverts with their latest attempt at a recycling campaign (whilst
simultaneously being named the worst plastic polluter in the world) we invite inspirational guests to come have a chat with us and make
some sense of the world they live in. Green might not be your favourite colour, but we think it looks great on you.
