Secondhand fashion and the global thrift ecosystem have the potential to radically change the world for the better. In this week's episode we talk to Emily Stochl, the creator of Pre-Loved Podcast which is a weekly interview show about rad vintage style that covers topics like sustainability, slow fashion, why choosing second-hand things first matters, the global secondhand ecosystem, and more! The fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world behind big oil and has disastrous impacts on both people and the planet. Emily shares with us why she created Pre-Loved Podcast, how clothing donations impact the Global South, tips for thrifting to have rad style AND lighten the environmental footprint of your wardrobe, the importance of slow fashion, and much, much more. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!
