Unpacking Ethical episodes

  • Unpacking Secondhand
    On this episode of Unpacking Ethical, we get real about secondhand fashion and sustainability with Natalie of Grey Moon Vintage.
    “These are a lot of the questions to ask why fast fashion is a part of the ugly side of the second-hand and the pollution problem.”
    On this week’s episode:
    • Natalie dives deep — explores the dark side of the secondhand fashion industry and what we might not know about it.
    • We discuss how fast fashion has co-opted sustainability.
    • The three of us share our thoughts on corporate greed and capitalism, and the challenges of addressing environmental issues we’re facing in fashion and beyond.
    • Join us as we explore the many angles of secondhand, sustainability, and fast fashion.
