Since Marie Kondo encouraged everyone to go on a decluttering frenzy, I wanted to discuss how to properly dispose of your unwanted garments so it doesn’t rot in our landfills.

The term “fast fashion” refers to companies creating low-quality clothing to save costs, which encourages customers to purchase high amounts of clothes. As you can imagine, this causes problems like fast fashion retailers using harmful materials in garments, supporting unethical labour practices, and tons of textile waste going to our landfills. And I will discuss all of these issues in this podcast.
