It's time for another solo episode. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is probably the most widely known form of cancer and we all know breast cancer is associated with the pink ribbon.
Unfortunately, pinkwashing also occurs in October. What is pinkwashing? It's when a company or organization that claims to care about breast cancer by promoting a pink ribbon product, but at the same time produces, manufactures and/or sells products containing chemicals that are linked to the disease.
This episode talks about what four questions to ask any company or organization before purchasing their products, as well as what you can do instead to support breast cancer awareness and action during October.
