Ep. 09: In this episode I talk about the darker side of the fast fashion industry, including Doll's Kill, Brandy Melville and Fashion Nova. I give my take on greenwashing and talk about the rise in thrifting, is it ethical? I also give a few small tips about shopping more sustainably. Check out my Instagram @mind.elixir for a more complete guide to sustainable brands.
note: I'd also like to emphasize that the main problem is overconsumption* of fast fashion. Fast fashion is alright in moderation because that's what most are able to afford, but when bought in excess, it becomes a problem. The overall problem is the companies themselves.
