Ways AI is Helping Disrupt the Climate Crisis in Fashion

The climate crisis continues to intensify across the globe. We have reached the tipping point where small shifts can cause ripple effects, and irreversible damage. One of the biggest contributors to the crisis is the fashion industry’s staggering waste problem. “The fashion industry generates 92 million tons of waste, that is like a dump truck per second,” explains Lisbeth Kaufman, Head of Climate Tech Startups at Amazon Web Services (AWS). Much of this waste is due to defective fabric that never even makes it to the consumer. A handful of forward thinking companies are leveraging artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to disrupt outdated practices, reduce waste and drive meaningful change. These solutions backed by companies like AWS are committed to supporting climate tech start ups, are doing more than improving efficiency, they are re-writing guidelines for the future of fashion.

Discovering Dr. Ruth: A Journey from Childhood Curiosity to Interviewing an Icon

The first time I heard Dr. Ruth Westheimer I was in the back seat of my dad’s car. It was the 1980s, I was maybe 9 years old. We were driving back from a trip to Maryland. My dad thought I was sleeping, but I remember hearing this woman who sounded kind of like both of my Grandmas. My ears perked up. What was this woman talking about? As I listened, I realized: oh my, she’s talking about S-E-X. I started to giggle and my dad cleared his throat and quickly changed the station. He told me to close my eyes and go back to sleep.
