Episode 72- Monica & Aidee
Today we have an amazing duo, and I’m excited to elevate their work in sustainability.
Aidee and Mónica, are the co-founders of VOLVERde.
VOLVERde is an online marketplace of carefully curated, beautiful, effective, low-waste products for your body and home sourced from a variety of responsible, diverse brands. They exist to make it easier to discover sustainable product swaps, shop responsibly, and minimize plastic waste.
They celebrate the sustainability traditions of our Latine culture. Low-waste was the way of our abuelitas, and it will be the way of the future. They are intentional in Their focus on our Latine community, given our cultural connection to re-use and our disproportionate burden from plastic pollution, toxic products, and climate change. They are proud to say that over 90% of their products are sourced from women-, Asian-, black-, brown- or indigenous-owned businesses.
Get ready for an awesome conversation!
