In this episode, Aspen Murray and Marjorie Alexander cover: The reality of working conditions at some of the sweatshops that make our clothing Companies who are creating ethically and sustainably produced clothing How to spot sustainable clothing while shopping at traditional stores About our guest: Aspen Murray is a young activist who is dedicating her life to the pursuit of making ethical + sustainable fashion the norm. She firmly believes that we all have the power to vote with our dollars, but that we need to reform how we look at conscious consumerism: it shouldn't be difficult, it shouldn't be inaccessible to certain people, and it's okay if we mess up − because the onus should never fall entirely on the consumer Connect with Aspen Murray and Ethigirl Online: Ethigirl Blog: Ethigirl.com Some of my favorite pieces: Sustainable Fashion Swaps For Summer 2019 Trends Personal Pieces: Dealing With Burnout Responsible Reduction: How To Get Rid Of Old Clothes Ethigirl on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ethigirlblog/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ethigirl/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ethigirlblog Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ca/ethigirl_/ Suggested Resources from Aspen: Online: Consignment shops Depop Thredup Patagonia ModCloth Matatraders.com Everlane The True Cost documentary Fashion Revolution Best Dressed on Youtube (hilarious by the way!)
