episode 006. upcycling & repurposing with ecodiva, taryn hipwell 

• in this podcast, i interview ecodiva, taryn hipwell and her sister janell hipwell. we discuss taryn’s passion for fashion,  the concept of repurposing (which taryn was doing at 14 years old before anyone knew what it was), the concept of upcycling (the now trendy term for recycling), and her green efforts at warner brothers studios. we also discuss taryn’s ecodivas brand (which is pronounced with a long e, not eh) and the exciting future for ecodivas. you can find more information about taryn and ecodivas at www.ecodivastv.com.
