This podcast episode looks at the ways in which fast fashion has polluted our planet for

decades, as well as the pressing human right’s issues that directly effect the factory workers.

From the exploitation of laborers throughout the Global South, to the denim dyed rivers in

China, we’ll walk you through many of the ways in which this environmental justice issue has

become such a concern in recent years. We’ve included anecdotes from factory workers

themselves in which they’ve shared some insight about their devastating experiences within the

fashion industry. Due to the overall lack of awareness in society as to how our clothing is

produced, our episode’s ending shifts towards the discussion of ways to start shopping more

sustainably and actually make a difference. From fabrics to steer clear from and second hand

shop recommendations, we hope our podcast sheds light on this important issue as well as

motivates our audience to be the change they wish to see
