Fast fashion: an environmental disaster - Anitha Clemence

“I have been a shopaholic. But now I have reinvented myself.”   After reading a UN report about climate change, influencer Anitha Clemence with 58.000 followers on Instagram, decided to stop consuming clothes. First, for three months. Then she expanded that shopping stop to a year.  “I felt that I was a bad role model, both for my followers and for my kids”, Anitha says.  She wants people to think more about: How fast fashion destroys the environment How we consume things we don’t need, just to throw them away How we associate happiness and self-worth with having the latest outfit  The result? Praise, but also criticism and a loss of income.    Still, Anitha says it’s been totally worth it.   Watch this episode on YouTube, listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.   What about you?
