Episode notes

Today’s guest on the Age of Plastic Podcast, Buy Me Once founder and author Tara Button. Buy Me Once is a one stop online shop for the most durable sustainable items that in some cases will last you a lifetime. From umbrellas to tights to frying pans, Buy Me Once does what it says on the tin! Tara Button set the site up when she realised no one focuses on long lasting products anymore. She’s also written a book called A Life Less Throwaway and even had a sustainable wedding! We cover over consumption, consumerism, the part advertising and social media has to play and why people need to think more about electric kettles!
