Episode description
In this episode, Aspen Murray and Marjorie Alexander cover:- The reality of working conditions at some of the sweatshops that make our clothing
- Companies who are creating ethically and sustainably produced clothing
- How to spot sustainable clothing while shopping at traditional stores
Aspen Murray is a young activist who is dedicating her life to the pursuit of making ethical + sustainable fashion the norm. She firmly believes that we all have the power to vote with our dollars, but that we need to reform how we look at conscious consumerism: it shouldn't be difficult, it shouldn't be inaccessible to certain people, and it's okay if we mess up − because the onus should never fall entirely on the consumer
