In this weeks episode "Fast Fashion", Katelyn & Hannah talk about the fast fashion industry and it's impacts on human rights, the climate crisis, and capitalism. Our rant this week asks the question "where are the workers?!". This episode explores the reasons we continue to purchase and invest in fast fashion, the environmental impacts, and if it's even possible to escape our current system. Of course we know that individuals alone can't change this beast, because it's all about policy change! Listen to this episode to laugh, rage, and and ask with us the question of "do we need really this?".

Rant and rage with us in this episode!
