In today's episode, we're focusing on the global fashion industry and its impact on animals, humans and the environment.

We start by discussing whether we would wear secondhand leather and what wearing leather portrays to non-vegans and then delve into the world of wool – is it a natural, cruelty-free material after all?

And in part 2 we meet Rebecca Cappelli, producer of new film SLAY. A previous fan of fur and luxury leather goods, Rebecca went vegan and opened her eyes to what these fashion items represented. She then travelled the globe to uncover what goes on behind closed doors, documenting her journey into the fur, leather and wool industries.

Rebecca shares her findings and thoughts, along with positive steps we can all take to make a difference. 

Today's episode is sponsored by Yondu Vegetable Umami – a vegan, Korean, all-purpose season sauce. It’s gluten-free, organic, non-GMO and clean label.

Yondu Vegetable Umami is made from organic soybeans, yeast extract and simmered broth of savoury vegetables such as white radish, cabbage, leek, shiitake and garlic. This slow fermentation technique is the key to developing its deep flavour.
