Have you ever watched someone throw away a plastic bottle and visualised the fact that it will be in landfill forever? Or even contemplated not having children because you don’t know what the planet is going to be like in 50 years?

From our hourly dose of social media, to the daily global news headlines, we are constantly being reminded that we are edging closer and closer towards the deadly tipping point – the point at which the earth has gotten so warm that we lose control of being able to reverse damage. It’s understandable that being bombarded with this overpowering news, with no 'easy guide' solution, is likely to make many individuals overwhelmed by the magnitude of the issue. Say hello to the new term taking the social landscape by storm: 'eco anxiety' - the anxiety associated with fear of harming the environment. Do you have it?

Vintage style endures every seasonal fashion trend, whether it be a treasured El Jay dress from the 1960s found in a specialised boutique, a pre-loved T-shirt from your local second-hand store or a five-year-old INES dress from an online auction. It's shopping for the dedicated and passionate - taking the time to slow down and dig through the racks to find something special.

With a globalised fashion industry comes increased competition from overseas brands looking to profit from local fashion shoppers. In order to compete with locally-produced goods and other brands, fashion businesses and clothing manufacturers must minimise costs in order to sell garments at competitive prices. So, how do you – as a small brand or a designer, compete with large fashion corporations and manage to make profit?

The mainstream ecosystem of fashion production and consumption is proving unsustainable in terms of autonomous livelihoods, cultural heritage, social equality, and environmental stewardship. This is building momentum for an increasing number of designers and consumers to play an activist role, entailing design thinking and practice aimed at challenging the status quo and activating a process of positive change.

So, how can you participate in this movement? Find out in this F.fm episode.
