🪖🪖 Today's episode is a declaration of war against fast fashion! 🪖🪖

You’re out and about and find the perfect vintage dress, jacket or other item and snap it up.It’s just what you wanted and for a bargain price.However, if you’re anything like some of our staff here on the good ship SS Tomorrow. You’ll wear it for a few hours, days or weeks but as soon as you’ve lost interest in it, it will be consigned to the back of the wardrobe, to sit there for years and years, never to see the light of day again.So what happens to those clothes that we don’t want?You may send them to the op shop, however if they get rejected, they end up in a landfill site. Which leads to potentially more greenhouse gases getting pumped into the atmosphere.

However we are not about negativity, let's meet some fashionistas who are doing amazing things, with solutions to this problem!!

In today's episode you will learn:

By participating in a fast-paced consumer culture has a real impact on the environment.Fast fashion comes at a human cost.There is a shift towards slow fashion.We should all be re-trained on quality, not price.
