Meet Markers
For the next step in the Ethical Revolution, we are learning about markers, or labels, that denote more ethical products. Sam goes through a bunch he thinks "you can probably trust" with a short blurb on each describing what they cover, and their limitations. Some are UK-specific. Of the international ones, there is B Corp, Cradle to Cradle, Cruelty Free, FairTrade Foundation, Fair Tax Mark, Forest Stewardship Council, Global Organic Textiles Standard, Orangutan Alliance, PETA-Approved, Rainforest Alliance, TCO Certified (for IT products). Although noting some labelling schemes may amount to greenwashing, Sam didn't name names on those.

TCO Certified was most interesting to me because I had not heard of any certification for IT products before. It is quite new. Interesting that there are many different models of computer from major brands certified, but the only smartphone are is the Fairphone. tcocertified.com/product-finde…

Here we went from Estartit, Spain, to Delta de l'Ebre. Unfortunately we lost a bunch of footage and didn't have the best experience in the big delta, but this was only the start of our journey :)

Thank you Nicholas for the 15 Euros donation! And this message:
Thank you especially to Alexio and Rokosun for listening to me and letting me vent on Matrix/Element. Fuck this trade-based system, the game we have to play, and the fact that we have to sell ourselves for who knows how long!

We have started our journey and lost most of our footage.... - videos.trom.tf/w/5XT3pQdsFVQmR…
These are the first days on the road for us, and the experience was not the best. We went to Deltebre, a very weird place...we were so happy to move away from it. But we also experienced some nice other places on the way there.

How do you recover from corporate burn out?
I realized I hit a wall at work after I spent 2 weeks spontaneously gagging during meetings. Things are worse than I care to admit.
I'm so burnt out I don't even know who I am anymore. I feel like I put my head down in August and lost 7 months to 60h work weeks. Everything is blurry.
How do you recover?
