How it all began.
Welcome! I'm Jen - founder of Do Better Colab.
In April 2021, I realised that I needed some new snowboard socks, and as I went on the hunt, I encountered a few challenges.
I wanted to avoid synthetic materials due to all the issues with microplastics in our environment. I wanted natural, organically grown fibres that weren’t derived from animals. I also wanted a high performance sock with all the bells and whistles.
To my surprise, I couldn’t find what I was looking for, so I decided to create it and thus Do Better Colab was born.
The evolution.
We live in an amazing time where we have instant access to information about literally EVERYTHING.
It’s a wonderful thing for the most part but at the same time, we are experiencing information overload and it has become increasingly hard to separate fact from opinion.
When it came to environmental issues, I found this to be even more so. And as I went down the path researching fibres to create my perfect snowboard sock, I fell into a rabbit hole of information where there seemed to be no perfect solution.
And that’s when it hit me. There is no perfect.
And the constant drive for us to find perfection causes us to do nothing.
THIS is eco anxiety in a nutshell.
Do Better Colab begins with the humble sock, but it translates into so much more than that.
