Summary: <p>“What are the problems and potential within the fashion industry? Slow fashion, as opposed to fast fashion, is that a real option?".</p> <p>The main discussion in today's episode centres around the fast fashion industry, and what damage does fast fashion do to the environment, together with the amount of waste that's created by fast fashion. Including a quite startling stat around the amount of fashion that is produced but isn't actually sold.</p> <p>Are we forgetting what's important to people, and the planet? Should we instead be more open to buying less, or purchasing more second-hand clothes, and following the 5 R's of refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and then recycle?</p> <p>In today's episode Stuart and William discuss in their relaxed style the above question, set by listener Elaine in Telford, Shropshire, England.</p> <p>What do you make of this discussion?
