TDE62- Dressed to Kill the Planet - Let's Talk Local

What impact are the clothes in your closet having on the world we share?
The fast fashion conversation starts with unethical labor—but it goes much deeper. Could your laundry be killing marine life? Could the shirt you’re wearing be harming the baby growing inside you? Could its very fabric be the reason people smell you from several feet away?
Next, we’re taking it a step further. Sarah’s future fashion designer nephew, Gavin Bueno, and Certified Personal Organizer/Personal Assistant, Ricki Casper, are teaming up to tackle her closet. They’re going through everything—deciding what gets recycled, upcycled, donated, or kept. It’s not easy, but it’s necessary. And we hope it inspires you to take the same step in your own life.
It’s all connected, and it’s a conversation we need to have. So… let’s have it.
