This month, we bring you our New Year’s resolutions. But we’re not talking about things like eating less sugar–we’re discussing our ethics-related resolutions. Listen in as we talk about implicit bias prevention walls, effective altruism and fast fashion. And hey–we’d love to hear what your New Year’s resolutions are. Send a voice memo recording of your resolutions to us at examiningethics@gmail.com.
