Viv Tran Welcome to the What Gives? podcast where we have conversations and hear real stories from organizations and individuals on how they are changing their communities. With years of nonprofit and community building experience, our host, Viv, leads us in conversations with people who have dedicated their lives and careers to creating safer, inclusive, kinder, greener, equitable, and more just communities. If you are seeking to get involved in a cause that speaks to you or you are looking to learn about a new and native solutions to our most pressing social and humanitarian issues, join us weekly at What Gives? 1322d608-e1df-40de-8539-a6d072840185 The What Gives? Project hopes to create a space where the social impact and philanthropic community can share, inspire, and connect through audio storytelling. Because it can feel daunting and discouraging discussing all the issues that affect our communities, the audio storytelling that WGP does aim to help listeners go beyond the mission statements of organizations, learn solutions from those closest to the problem, empathize through powerful stories, discover what matters to them, and find ways to share their own gifts.

If you are seeking to get involved in a cause that speaks to you or you are looking to learn about community solutions to our most pressing social and humanitarian issues, tune in monthly at What Gives?

Consumption is such a significant part of our lives and there's a lot of good we can do with our consumption power so that's why I really want us to talk about this.

Paty, Gaby, and Angie, of The Ethical Bridge, teach us about the principles of fair trade, what sustainability means to them, and the value of conscious consumerism. Whether it is thrifting, shopping your closet, or supporting social enterprises such as The Ethical Bridge, we can do a lot to make our marketplace more ethical and sustainable.

We also touch on the influence and values from our own individual cultures and the preservation of traditions, as a way of promoting slow fashion, the use of natural materials, and strengthening our global community together.
