One of the most common pitfalls when we're working to become more conscious consumers is figuring out if the clothing we're buying is fast fashion. I'm breaking down five tried-and-true guidelines for us as we examine brands and think more deeply about our purchases. We're also walking through examples of greenwashing campaigns (cough cough, H&M Conscious) and discussing the juicy news of Kourtney Kardashian's appointment as Sustainability Ambassador for Boohoo (lol).

You can record a voice memo on your phone or computer (I think it is quite easy to record yourself on Zoom) and email me the MP3 at laura@lauraediez.com. Please share your name if you're comfortable!
