www.startingsustainability.com Reflecting on why Kaylin started this podcast. She wanted to know how to be sustainable, but in a simple manor. In this episode Kaylin goes back to the basics.

By supporting women in Hollywood (writers, directors, producers, as well as actors) we can change what is show on screen and its influence on our culture.
