Sustainable Minimalists show

Summary: <br> <br> Since when did our wardrobes become disposable? <br> Think about it. These days, we buy new outfits for new occasions, wearing them just a few times before donating or discarding. <br> We also add inexpensive, trendy items to our closets without a second’s thought; because these items cost almost nothing, we aren’t surprised when they last for just a few wears.<br> Let’s face it: Clothing is cheap. So cheap, in fact, that puny price tags contribute to the notion that clothes are just another disposable 21st Century commodity.<br> On this week’s episode we identify EXACTLY WHY fast fashion is so terrible; then we outline a better way.<br> My guest this week is Erin Polowy of <a href="http://mygreencloset.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">My Green Closet</a>.
