If you’re keen to hear more about the environment from a younger perspective, listen to Blake Hillebrand (Class of 2017) discuss his fully sustainable clothing brand, baru. Blake maintains fully ethical practices for his business, focused on using recycled and organic materials to create clothing that fund outdoor trips for others, inspired by his own childhood adventures down to Blairgowrie. Blake balances all of this while continuing to pursue his passion for architecture. Tune in to hear more from Blake on the importance of sustainability!
