Description

It's the third episode in our miniseries about denim.  Michelle is back to discuss how technology is making your jeans more sustainable.  It's all about lasers and ozone! Sounds so futuristic, right?  She will also discuss ways we can make better choices with our own denim purchases.Amanda will also try to untangle the meaning of the world "sustainability."  It's so complicated! We'll discuss the nine planetary boundaries (spoiler: it has nothing to do with astrology).  And we'll use the UN's Sustainable Development Goals to gauge the sustainability of various retailers.  Also, check out Good On You.  It's quick/easy resource for vetting a brand's environmental and social responsibility!Have you ever worked in retail?  We are working on a group of episodes about retail workers and their rights.  Collecting your stories is a key part of it!  Please share your experiences via email at clotheshorsepodcast@gmail.com.  Or message us via instagram @clotheshorsepodcast.
