Guest in the Sustainable Studio on 29 August 2018 is upcycle fashionista Diem Huong Young, founder of DHY Design which repurposes clothes in Torquay.

Over the phone we connect with La Vergne Lehmann, executive officer for Grampians Central West Waste & Resource Recovery Group in Horsham and Ballarat, and Peter Monea and Shorty – the Box Brothers – from Daylesford, who are producing an alternative for the plastic used in things like berry punnets.

We play a short clip from a Facebook-video-selfie by Swedish Greta Thunberg who is on school strike for the climate, and a clip from Monday’s night’s Q&A on ABC tv.

 

“We can be living examples of what we want to see in the world.”

 #SLOWFASHION: 

Podcast: What is slow fashion – and why should we care?

“Did you know over 80% of used clothing ends up in landfills – and because so much of it is made from synthetic fibers, it doesn’t biodegrade very well. In honor of fashion week, we thought we’d take a deeper dive into the reasons that the fashion industry is recognized as the world’s second largest polluter.”
