Today, Biokleen is nationally distributed and is one of the biggest names in natural cleaning products. The company’s Clean for Good program not only commits to environmentally-preferable ingredients, packaging, and energy, it also ensures that purchases of its products go to reforestation and other restoration programs. In other words, Biokleen is a textbook case of conscious capitalism, and we’ve got their managing director, Barry Firth, on the show with us this episode!

Human rights and environmental advocates have tried to reform the diamond mining industry, but what if the answer was as simple as just growing diamonds in a lab? That’s what start-ups like Ada Diamonds are betting on. They sell lab-grown diamond jewelry that’s molecularly identical to naturally-formed diamonds, but for only two-thirds the price. In fact, the FTC just changed its definition of “diamond” to make it clear that lab-grown diamonds are indeed real diamonds, and that companies like Ada can market them as “cultured diamonds.”
