My day job is rubbish. Literally. I work in waste, helping people to reduce, reuse and recycle. As such, I've come to be at the dirty end of the main cause of environmental problems: consumption.

Mass consumption of manufactured goods can't be stopped over night – and I'm not sure we should even try to stop it. But I do think we should address the impact it has, which is why I set up Low & Behold.

We are here to create clothes that have a low impact on the planet. From the materials they're made of and the ways they're transported, to the ways we package and market them, we consider our environmental and social impact at every stage.

Climate change is real – and I believe that we can do something about it. I also believe we can be a company that has a positive impact. Whatever your views, using less resources and no pesticides, and producing less emissions and less waste, is better for this business, for the people who buy our T-shirts and for the planet as a whole.
