Ep 20 : Hannah Jane Dantzscher : Creating a Wake

Kate Blohm Season 2 Episode 20

Hannah Jane Dantzscher is the Owner of Wake Refill, a zero waste business whose mission is to pair environmental care with compassion and education, serving the place that she’s always called home. Hannah Jane grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, where she fell in love with the natural beauty of the Lowcountry. Boating, sailing, and learning about local and global ecosystems have always been some of her favorite pastimes. This connection to nature has deeply influenced the way she lives, and the values that shape her business practices today.

Hannah Jane studied International Studies with a focus on Latin America at the College of Charleston. During that time, she spent semesters living in Cuba, Chile and Argentina. Alongside these studies, she dove into the systems of global trade and waste trade. This is where she fundamentally shifted the way she thought about consumerism and how the things we buy, use, and throw "away" are connected to people and places far beyond our view, often at great cost. Today we’ll discuss the different ways to be a mindful consumer and the small shifts that can create a big wake.
