Show Notes

This week, on the anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh in 2013, which killed 1,138 people and injured many more, we encourage millions of people to come together to campaign for systemic change in the fashion industry. We are living in a climate emergency and the fashion & textiles sector is one of the most polluting and wasteful industries. So why are we featuring a podcast about this industry today? It's because GoShopia sells fashion with a conscience by shying away from fast fashion trends towards more sustainable brands. Tune to listen to their co-founder Araceli Gallego to know about sustainable fashion and why we should all be thinking more consciously about what we buy and wear.
