Positive Luxury launches webinar series to inspire and promote change
Sustainability platform Positive Luxury has launched a brand-new weekly webinar series designed to educate, innovate and inspire viewers to be a catalyst for change.
Every Thursday at 2pm (UK time), a group of experts will explore various topics from leadership to creativity in The Power Series.
The next edition on 9 April, The Power of Narrative, will feature a panel including journalist and author Dana Thomas, deputy editor at the Financial Times How to Spend It Magazine Beatrice Hodgkin, and CEO of Garrard & Co. Limited Joanne Milner.
They will discuss how the stories we tell can still be powerful, even without a product launch or big announcement. The format of the free Power Series is a 30-minute discussion followed by a Q&A from the audience, with all webinars being subsequently uploaded to YouTube.
Other upcoming episodes will delve into The Power of Good Leadership (16 April), The Power of Circularity (22 April) and The Power of Wellness (30 April), with panellists including Valerie Keller, CEO of Imagine; Tom Szaky, founder of TerraCycle; Vanessa Jacobs, CEO of The Restory and mindfulness coach Terrence The Teacher.
Positive Luxury, co-founded by Diana Verde Nieto, is the company behind the Butterfly Mark, the symbol awarded to luxury brands to demonstrate a positive social and environmental impact. Christian Dior, Givenchy, Anya Hindmarch and Yves Saint Laurent Beauty are some of the luxury brands which have earned the mark.

Single-use plastic and COVID-19: How to stay eco-friendly in Seattle during the pandemic
- Don't flush disinfectant wipes: Not only is it every plumber's nightmare, but these wipes contain material and chemicals that will not readily degrade in natural environments.
- “Flushing only toilet paper helps ensure that the toilets, plumbing, sewer systems and septic systems will continue working properly to safely manage our nation’s wastewater,” the EPA said. “While EPA encourages disinfecting your environment to prevent the spread of COVID-19, never flush disinfecting wipes or other non-flushable items.”
- Buy toilet paper brands made with recyclable materials: Not all toilet paper is made the same, in fact, many major brands like Charmin, Kirkland Signature (Costco's in-house brand), Angel Soft, Quilted Northern do not use any recycled content in their toilet paper.
- So when you're stocking up, look for rolls that contain recycled materials or ones made with bamboo, a more sustainable option. Or better yet, invest in a bidet and skip the worry about wiping altogether.
- Opt for takeout in compostable ware: We all want to support local restaurants in this uncertain time, and takeout or delivery is the almost contact-free option to do so. But before you order, consider if the restaurant is using compostable to-go containers or ask if your food can be packaged in them. Additionally, most delivery apps will give you an option to ditch the additional plastic silverware if you don't need it.
- But if your takeout arrives on your doorstep in plastic containers, remember to make sure they are empty, clean and dry before recycling.
- 4. Be energy efficient in the house: Now is a good time to implement energy-saving practices around the house, such as switching to LED lightbulbs. Not to mention that it could help lower your utility bills.
