  • Summary

  • It’s hard not to love runway-inspired clothing at discount prices, but, while the goods may be cheap, they come at a big cost to the environment and the people who manufacture the clothing. Today we’re going to talk about what exactly fast fashion is, how it’s made, why it’s problematic, and what our alternatives are.

    Check out Joanne’s latest podcast of “In This Story…with Joanne Greene”. In each episode, Joanne shares a flash nonfiction essay, showcasing tales and observations from her animated life. Find it from wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

    Joanne’s book, “By Accident: A Memoir of Letting Go” is now available from your favorite online book seller. Stay tuned to hear if Joanne will be speaking at a bookstore near you.
