TSL: Solve For Nature w/ Isabel Aagaard

Isabel Aagaard is an entrepreneur and collaborative designer on a mission to eliminate single-use plastic by creating reusable alternatives to single-use items we use daily. She's the creator of the world’s first reusable cotton swab, LastSwab, which raised more than 1.2M USD from more than 30,000 backers on crowdfunding platforms. Her products are made to last more than 1000 times and are easy to use and re-use, making it simple for people to break their throwaway habits and start going zero-waste. So far Isabel has helped eliminate over 1 billion single-use items, and she aims to make that 50 billion by 2023.
