As a brand of vegan and eco-responsible sneakers, ecology is a subject that is close to our hearts! But it is also an area where we can find contradictory information. This is why it seems important to us to vary these sources of information in order to form your own opinion and make informed choices whether in terms of eco-responsible sneakers or more generally ethical fashion, care or ecological decoration. We share with you 4 formats and recommendations for each of these.
Ethical Fashion Podcasts
Ecology can be integrated into various areas: fashion, cosmetics, home, etc. Ethical fashion is a complex subject that concerns us directly at Mood Walk, we recommend several podcasts that address it in detail.
New Model by Chloe Cohen
Chloé Cohen receives each week a committed woman, whether she is a designer, entrepreneur, stylist, activist or model. She draws the portrait of these women who have decided to campaign for a more sustainable world, and to improve the textile industry.
In this podcast, various topics are discussed: fashion, human rights, environment, feminism, commitment, responsibility and textile innovations. Chloé decided to launch herself to show that there are solutions and alternatives to fast-fashion.

Adrien Garcia, founder of the ethical fashion brand RÉUNI, meets every week with those who make fashion, whether they are designers, entrepreneurs, retailers, journalists, etc. The goal is to understand their backgrounds, their problems and strategies to innovate and develop. In this way, he collects advice and ideas to succeed in fashion and shares them with those who want to learn more.

Books to learn about ecology and responsible fashion
Written by scientists, journalists or people passionate about ecology, we can find books intended for a novice or much more informed audience.
My Happy Wardrobe by Céline Séris
Céline started her career in finance, then she chose to rethink her life differently. She decided to create a blog called Iznowgood which addresses the subject of ethical and responsible fashion. Her goal is to inform about the dark world of textile industries to change our way of consuming and become aware of the value of things.
In her book, she gives information to understand the world of fashion and therefore change your shopping habits while continuing to enjoy your clothes. For people who want to start a transition in their wardrobe, it is an accessible and pragmatic book.
Cradle to Cradle
In order not to put economic growth and ecology back to back, the book Cradle to Cradle recommends instead to think about the product from its conception so that it can have several lives. This “positive ecological footprint” is explained by new practices in terms of production and ecology. It is a work that mixes social history and green commerce.
How I Stopped Eating Animals by Hugo Clément
This is the first book by journalist Hugo Clément, who became a vegetarian following a gradual awakening. Indeed, he understood that meat and fish were not necessary for good health, that intensive farming had harmful repercussions on the environment and that animals did not benefit from fair treatment. This book is intended for vegetarians who want to convince, but also for carnivores who have questions and want to learn more.
Eco-responsible fashion practical guide by Morgane Leprince and Fanny Enjolras-Galitzine
Consumers are increasingly questioning the ethics and ecology of their clothing: what is the impact of fashion on the environment? Are employees' working conditions fair? This practical guide offers a global vision of the fashion industry to understand why it is important to have an ethical and eco-responsible wardrobe, whether for clothing or eco-responsible sneakers.
Several tips are given such as recycling, repairing, buying second-hand, favoring responsible brands, making your own clothes, etc. You will therefore gradually learn to implement an eco-responsible approach by changing your habits and your outlook on your purchases.
Instagram accounts
On Instagram, we also talk a lot about ecology! Accounts have been created to share news around this subject. Moreover, we also publish information on our Instagram account about ethical fashion or more generally about ecology.
@lespetitsgestes: raise awareness about the environment with simple actions
Inès Moreau has been running the Les Petits Gestes account for several years. She shares information but also advice on fruits and vegetables of each season, cosmetic and cleaning products, etc. The information is accessible with practices to adopt regardless of one's level of commitment to ecology.
@lesbellesnouvelles: positive media about good news about the environment
When it comes to the environment, we see mostly bad news and little good. So this Instagram account wanted to take the opposite view and show that there are also positive things and appreciable improvements in terms of ecology. Every day, information is shared, enough to give hope and tell yourself that the efforts are not useless!
@jemerecycle: consume better for yourself and the planet

On the Instagram account , we mainly find information on more or less complex subjects: carbon emissions, organic farming, etc.
Blogs and news sites
Blogs are a good way to have rich and complete information. They will help us to have an open mind on the subjects to form our own informed opinion.

You Matter is a place for sharing knowledge to help citizens and professionals understand the transformation of the world. Different topics are covered on this blog: health, planet, energy and transport, consumption, technology, etc. The articles are comprehensive and are more or less accessible depending on the field and the basics already acquired.
