Welcome back to another episode in our Reinventing the Green Wheel series! This week we have our second ever guest on the show; the amazing Ana Bogusky is here to talk all things fashion and sustainability! Haylee and Amanda are here to break down buzzwords and ask the big questions. How do you balance looking fly-as-hell, while simultaneously upholding the pillars of sustainability? What is fast and slow fashion? What can I do if I can't control who makes my clothes? Is thrifting the answer? If you've ever wondered how your shopping habits are impacting people around the world, look no further. Ana talks to us about the history behind the current fashion industry, and the problems that arise when she tried to find easy answers about how to look good while doing good. Tune in to hear our discussion and get some tips on how to fix fast fashion and slow down the impact of the industry as a whole.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/greenswitch)
