From weddings, to celebrity events, to community gatherings, Belinda Lau’s Opus Events creates sustainable experiences in collaboration with eco-conscious vendors across the Los Angeles area. Belinda shares her journey from professional opera singer to event planner, how the excessive waste generated by events both big and small inspired her to create her own sustainable business, and the ways she embraces sustainability in her day-to-day life. She also talks about how she made the shift from fast fashion to thrift shopping, and what makes her feel optimistic about the future.  For show notes visit: https://www.swapsociety.co/pages/podcast
