#### In addition, 󠀁[Hipwell](http://www.tarynhipwell.com/)󠁿 originally created EcoDivas. EcoDivas partnered with TEDxLA to create a new series called Beyond the Label (BtL). It’s meant to educate consumers about the affects of their fashion purchases on: Economics, Environments & Human Health.

#### YET ahem, just like the Green Living Guy, she is totally committed to creating fun, authentic and bold educational experiences, content & events that shatters stereotypes, shifts perceptions and changes lives.

#### _󠀁[⌊Taryn Hipwell Beyond the Label and EcoDivas⌉⌊Taryn Hipwell Beyond the Label and EcoDivas⌉󠀁[Taryn’s top 3 passions are Eco fashion, unique cultures (especially Zambia and rednecks) and the environment aka EcoDivas. Who can do RedNeck and Zambia. Common?!?!!!!_

#### _However she admits: “I’m a redneck in the sense that out of necessity I recycle my mayo jars for Tupperware, I can build a dresser from crates and I love to play in mud.”_

#### _So see now my mom is fixing the trailer out back. All to lug a couch across Florida for kin. Now that’s redneck. _

#### _**Then she finally admits Dance is a close 4th.**_

#### She also loves and loves off sharing incredible people’s journeys, obstacles, and successes. Especially with audiences so they too can learn, grow and flourish “ecodivaliciously!”

#### If that’s a word. LOL. Props for the promo though.

#### **Beyond the Label**⏎  _It starts so simple and yet artistic in its presentation._

#### **WHAT’S IN YOUR T-SHIRT?**

#### **CONSUMERS**

#### **HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT: **

#### 1. Who makes your clothes?

#### 2. What are they made of?

#### 3. Where are they made?

#### 4. Why are they so cheap?

#### ​5. How are they disposed?

#### 󠀁[󠀁[

#### Then she doesn’t end there!

#### **DESIGNERS**

#### **HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED HOW TO DESIGN ETHICALLY:**

#### So Hipwell doesn’t stop there!! Uh oh. Drop the mic. She goes life cycle infographic on a Fashion Designer. So freaking awesome of her. OMG!!

#### 󠀁[󠀁[

​**Their Vision:** Imagine a world where consumers knew the true ​environmental,
social and health costs of their fashion purchases, and felt empowered to write 
a different story…

#### Yet Hipwell doesn’t stop there. She keeps going! That’s why she deserves this new award for Green Living Guy Breakthrough Thought Leader of 2016.
