Jennifer Woofter says to  (21:10:41):
Jennifer Woofter here from Strategic Sustainability Consulting.  Would love to know what Pangea sees as its biggest sustainability challenge in terms of operations, product packaging, supplier relations, etc.  Thanks!
One Greener says (21:25:45):
Thanks Jennifer, will ask Joshua.
Jennifer Woofter says to  (21:30:54):
Thanks for answering my question!  Can I ask a follow up?  I love Pangea products, but honestly they are REALLY pricey in comparison to "normal" products.
Jennifer Woofter says to  (21:31:47):
Even as a sustainability consultant who needs to "walk the talk", I have a hard time justifying paying that cost for a small bottle of shampoo.
Jennifer Woofter says to  (21:32:45):
How would Pangea respond - beyond just "vote with your dollars"?  Is the answer to have more regulation - and making the rest of the playing field more expensive (better ingredients, etc.)
Jennifer Woofter says to  (21:33:21):
Can Pangea bring down their prices as they grow over time, to reach more consumers?  Or is the goal to be a "premium" product?
Jennifer Woofter says to  (21:33:31):
Ok, sorry that was a really long question. :)
One Greener says (21:35:53):
I will get him this questions too.
One Greener says (21:44:15):
Sorry, he had to go and i wanted to let him get his information out there. I will email him the question and see if he can get back to us in the blog.
