From Halloween party costumes to game day outfits, college campuses are hotspots for clothing turnover. But what’s the real environmental cost of one-time wear?

In this episode of Operation Climate, we explore the wasteful cycle of clothing consumption habits, from last-minute Amazon ordering to costume drawers, and investigate the impact on our planet. We talk to college students about their clothing habits and Halloween costume plans. We feature insights from Dr. Elena Karpova of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, with her expertise focusing on sustainable apparel consumption across cultures and markets.

Tune in to learn how small changes in your wardrobe can make a big difference!
