46| Ethical Fashion and the Impact of Globalization with Maithreyi Ramdas, People Heart Planet Co-Founder

Today’s episode is all about ethical fashion. Ethical fashion is the direct opposite of fast fashion. Ethical fashion is garment design, production, and distribution that focuses on reducing harm to people and the planet. Maithreyi Ramdas is the Co-Founder of People Heart Planet, an online ethical shopping platform that makes it easier for people to discover and shop fair trade and sustainable brands. Maithreyi is a social entrepreneur, a passionate advocate for animal welfare and the environment. Today we'll be talking about how to tell the difference between labels like ethical, sustainable, vegan, and organic and how People Heart Planet makes it easier to shop these brands. Plus we discuss the effects of globalization on the fashion industry.
