Summary

179: We read Aja Barber's debut book, Consumed, this month, + Morgan (@mostlyecomorgan) and I could wait to discuss it! Consumed: The Need for Collective Change: Colonialism, Climate Change, and Consumerism pushed us to reassess our frameworks on sustainability and fashion. We discuss major themes such as the international 'secondhand' market (read: >80% of donated clothes in the Global South are sent overseas), major financial disparities of multinational brands, + the pressure on consumers to both buy more and buy better. More for you: 135: The Real Problems with Fast Fashion: How Racism, Classism, + Saviorism Perpetuate an Exploitive System | Aja Barber Thanks to our sponsors today!
