Encore! Clothing and the Fast Fashion Industry

“Don’t get rid of all your pants. You’ve gotta wear pants.”
Welcome to our MEGA EPISODE where we re-mastered our Clothing series. In this tighter, better sounding classic, Kristen unravels some of the issues facing fast fashion. Topics: what is fast fashion; we are buying (and throwing out) so many clothes; how the fashion supply chain works; offshoring; FDR, labour hero; sweatshops; garment industry disasters; forced labour; child labour; the environmental impact of polyester, other synthetics, cotton, cellulosic fibres, wool, and bast fibres (best fibres!); pollution, water use, and emissions in the production of clothing; tools you can use to find sustainable clothing; the environmental impact of tossing clothes; escaping fast fashion; what is a conscious closet; fashion personality types; doing a wardrobe impact inventory; your clothing reuse plan; where clothing donations go; recycling clothes; clothing resale and rentals.
