Ep. 9 - Nakey All The Time?

In this episode we're talking about the fast fashion industry and our take on making more ethical fashion choices! We talk about shopping alternatives, corporations to avoid, and our tips for making the most of your style options while making the least negative social and environmental impacts. This episode is meant to be a sort of beginner's guide to ethical consumption by giving an overview of the fast fashion industry. We are by no means experts on these topics, and we encourage you all to help us grow together into a more informed community by contributing ideas, corrections, information, and opinions to the conversation. Join the discussion by DMing us or writing us at the email listed below and we will bring up your comments on our next episode!

We'd love to hear from you! Email us your stories, questions, ideas, and absurd ramblings, or solicit our (probably rather questionable) advice at: [email protected]
