858: Fast Fashion | Skeptical Sunday

We delve into the drawbacks of fast fashion while highlighting the benefits of mindful wardrobe choices on this Skeptical Sunday with Michael Regilio!

On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:

• Even under normal circumstances, the fashion industry is a major contributor to carbon emissions, water pollution, and waste • , with clothes often ending up in landfills.

• What is so-called "fast fashion," and how does it create a constant cycle of trends and clothing turnover • , leading to excessive waste and environmental damage?

• Donating clothes is not always a sustainable solution • , as many donated items end up in landfills or have a negative impact on local textile industries in developing countries.

• The fashion industry relies on cheap labor and often exploits workers • — particularly women — in factories with poor working conditions and low wages.

• How do we help tip the scale in a more sustainable direction? • We can support eco-conscious designers, clothing recycling, and rental services while buying quality items and reducing washing loads.
