Understanding the fast fashion industry with Marissa Biese on the Positively Green Podcast
In this episode, Becca (Organically Becca) ​and I will be talking all about how you can navigate the fashion industry when it comes to sustainable brands, materials, and fast fashion.

We are so excited to have our first guest on the show. Her name is Marissa Biese and she is a dear friend of Becca's. They actually met on Instagram of all places. Like Becca and I, Marissa also lives in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. She’s a dog mom, photographer, and blogs about many aspects of living a more waste-free life, from eco fashion, to plastic-free products, to eco-friendly pet supplies. She is one of Becca's go-to resources for learning about sustainable fashion and shares a ton of awesome brands that are doing great things for the environment.

Show Notes:
  • What is fast fashion?
  • The amount of waste and pollution the fashion industry creates
  • Different categories of sustainable fashion (vegan vs. sustainable vs. slow vs. ethical etc.)
  • Why you should care about where your clothing comes from
  • Breakdown of sustainable materials
  • Common misconceptions about sustainable fashion
  • Where to start and big red flags to look out for
  • What to look for in a sustainable clothing brand
  • Fair wages and safe working conditions for workers (Good on You app)
  • Greenwashing traps to look out for
  • Tips for shopping secondhand and creating a capsule wardrobe
  • Thrifting and buying second-hand clothing
  • Best practices for discarding, donating, and recycling unwearable clothing
  • How to make the clothes you already have last longer (Guppy Bags)
  • What to do if you just can’t give up your fave fast fashion brands
