Diane von Furstenberg’s - Woman of the Month
Woman of the Month's interview extract. #GRATEFUL for a fashion brand such as Diane von Furstenberg to spread this important message.
Along the course of her walks—which she admits were never just five minutes—she realized that a large part of the climate issue was the public’s lack of awareness regarding the scope of the matter. Noting the need for education, she decided to turn these five-minute walks into a learning tool.
She explained to us, “We depend on the oceans. We cannot live without them. I moved from focusing on human rights to focusing on marine life because I realized we cannot save people without saving the ocean first. One out of every two breaths we take come from the ocean. That means that we’re inhaling those toxins and the health effects of consuming plastic are huge. We’re not going to be able to have kids the same way, there will be new types of cancer, even men’s penises will be smaller!” The last fact, she argued cheekily, is certainly one way to get people to snap into formation.
