My guest this week is Paloma Garcia, founder of PALOMA a hair salon that is invested in the future & deeply committed to the sustainability movement.
They are 98% recyclable & a proud member of Sustainable Salons Australia who together have diverted 1.7million+ from landfill.
She linked up with a climate scientist & social scientist in A Brush with Climate to educate hairdressers on climate solutions which they chat about with customers.
A brush with climate was founded quickly after her climate journey began. Once she knew the science around climate change and the crisis we are all facing, she quickly started holding meaningful conversations with her clientele and community around her salon.
She soon realised she wasn’t the only one highly concerned, the majority of her clients were also.
So she created a checklist, for tangible changes we can all make in our everyday lifestyle that will have big impact on emissions.
After a few years of this she soon discovered this unique opportunity hairdressers have in holding this meaning conversation.
So she linked up with a climate scientist and social scientist, and they have now educated hundreds of hairdressers around the country and have lots more lined up!
Thank you so much Paloma for making climate solutions feel like everyday solutions- and for spreading the message through everyday human connections and conversations and for showing us that little by little we can all contribute to ensuring a better future
