  • Spotlight: Marine Layer — Making Comfort, Craft and Responsibility Look Effortless
    Nov 17 2025

    Meet Marine Layer… an apparel brand proving that comfort, craft and responsibility can live in the same garment, and a Seeing Green Solutionist of the Day.

    In this Spotlight Series episode of the Podcast, we turn to the world of apparel, a category with an enormous environmental footprint and a long history of opaque supply chains. Marine Layer approaches this challenge differently: by building a clothing company around better materials, circular design and a steady, values-led commitment to responsibility.

    Founded in 2009 with the goal of recreating the perfectly broken-in tee, Marine Layer has evolved into a full lifestyle brand across menswear and womenswear — all grounded in custom-developed fabrics, relaxed California ease and an obsessive dedication to softness. Today more than 100 proprietary fabrics anchor their line, from absurdly soft tees and knits to outerwear, dresses and easy everyday staples.

    But behind the comfort is a much deeper sustainability story. Marine Layer continues to shift its materials toward recycled, regenerated and renewable fibers with a goal of reaching 75% sustainable materials by 2030. Their supply chain partners undergo third-party audits, their packaging has moved away from single-use plastics toward recyclable Vela bags and FSC-certified paper, and their B Corp status underscores a commitment to transparency and accountability.

    At the center is Re-Spun, Marine Layer’s circular take-back program that allows customers to return up to 15 pounds of old textiles through a $20 Take Back Bag, earning a $40 reward in return. More than 650,000 pounds of clothing will be diverted from landfill by the end of 2025, showing what accessible, consumer-friendly circularity can look like at scale.

    We explore how Marine Layer blends comfort, creativity, community and responsibility, and why incremental but consistent improvements across materials, sourcing and recycling can add up to meaningful change.

    Marine Layer isn’t trying to reinvent fashion. They’re redefining how casual clothing is made in the first place, showing how low-impact choices and feel-good design can work hand in hand.

  • Spotlight: Califia Farms -- Making Plant-Based Dairy an Easy Everyday Choice
    Nov 14 2025

    Meet Califia Farms… a plant-based pioneer redefining how dairy-free can taste, perform and nourish both people and the planet — and a Seeing Green Solutionist of the Day.

    In this Spotlight episode we turn to the world of dairy, a category with a significant environmental footprint yet enormous potential for positive change when reimagined through a plant-based lens. Califia Farms was founded on a clear vision: replace dairy with delicious, accessible plant-based alternatives that make everyday rituals easier, not harder.

    From almond, oat and coconut milks to barista blends that steam like dairy and creamers that elevate the morning cup, Califia has built a full ecosystem designed for real kitchens and real routines. Their ready-to-drink coffees bring café flavors home while their Better Half and Heavy Whip products make cooking and baking dairy-free without the guesswork. More than 300 recipes help people imagine how simple plant-based eating can be.

    Behind the taste is a powerful climate story. Plant-based dairy uses significantly less water, land and energy than traditional dairy and Califia continues to push further through renewable energy at their Bakersfield facility, 100% recycled bottles, washable-ink labels that improve recyclability and partnerships with farmers investing in regenerative practices like biochar to rebuild soil health and store carbon long-term.

    We explore how Califia Farms is helping shift food culture by removing friction, expanding possibilities and proving that plant-based living does not require compromise — only curiosity.

    Califia Farms is not just making dairy-free products. They are showing what the future of dairy can be when sustainability, performance and taste move in the same direction.

  • Greening My... Kidswear -- Smarter Clothes for a Healthier Planet
    Nov 4 2025

    Kids grow fast — and so does their impact on the planet. From constant wardrobe changes to fast fashion’s hidden costs, children’s clothing creates a surprisingly large environmental footprint through resource use, waste, and microplastic pollution.

    In this new episode of the Seeing Green Podcast’s Greening My series, we explore how families can keep their kids dressed, comfortable and stylish while shrinking their footprint — through smarter materials, circular design, and creative reuse.

    We cover:

    • The hidden footprint of kidswear — from resource-heavy cotton and synthetics to short garment lifespans and massive textile waste
    • Sustainable design practices and materials that prioritize durability, safety and planet-friendly production
    • The growing world of secondhand, rental and branded resale — keeping clothes in play and out of landfills
    • How families can save money and reduce waste through simple shifts in buying habits and care routines
    • Practical, real-world ways to make progress — even while shopping at mainstream retailers

    This episode reframes kidswear not as a fashion challenge but as a sustainability opportunity — one that teaches children the value of conscious choices, circular thinking and caring for the planet they’ll inherit.

    Because when it comes to raising the next generation, what they wear today can shape the world they live in tomorrow.
