Episode 97: Making Sustainable Choices For Your Closet with Alden Wicker

Today we are diving into the very important topic of sustainability in the fashion industry. There are all sorts of statistics thrown around about sustainable fashion, many of which aren’t actually true. Bad information can be shared in greenwashing campaigns trying to sell you something, or it may even be shared, unintentionally, through channels like this. 

The goal of today’s guest is to dispel myths, share reliable, honest and science based information on how to make more sustainable choices when it comes to your closet. Alden Wicker is an award-winning independent journalist and expert who investigates the fashion industry’s global impact on the planet and people. She is the founder of EcoCult.com where her goal is to bring you the most trustworthy and helpful information about sustainable fashion on the internet, and her book To Dye For: How Toxic Fashion Is Making Us Sick comes out in June 2023.
