Welcome to the first-ever episode of What Does Green Really Mean?! This week, meet Aisling Byrne, founder of NUW, the clothes swapping app that makes fashion unlimited, sustainable and affordable.
By swapping clothes on the app like you would with a friend, you have access to the wardrobe of the whole country. You can try new outfits as often as you like, without contributing to landfill and minimising your carbon footprint.
Aisling’s journey to build Nuw began with a trip to India in 2013, shortly after the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh, where 1132 people were killed in a building collapse that housed five garment factories. She saw the dark side of an industry that she loved, first hand, and has since worked to change it.
I loved talking to Aisling for this episode, and I'm sure you will love her too. She says: “you can't guilt people into making change, you have to provide the solution”.
I hope you enjoy listening!
