Jersey and Amanda Jamny Jonesy.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
No matter arms today, fast fashion does it pass the
pub test.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Fast fashion is where you see clothes that are hugely
fashionable from catwalks and fashion houses, but they're made in
a cheap and affordable way. We see lots of micro trends,
so we're seeing fashions come and go. A lot of
this ends up in landfill and fast The fashion industry
is responsible for ten percent of global emissions according to
the UN, all the aviation and shipping combined. This is

(00:31):
a terrifying statistic. Here we throw a third of all
our purchases, around two hundred thousand tons of textiles in
the bin in Australia.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
What about that leather jacket I wore last week that
was from nineteen seventy two.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, that's well.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
We should be shopping in our own wardrobes, holding on
to stuff, But it seems that we have created a
culture where it's a fashion faux pas to wear stuff
that you've worn before if you're not up with the
latest micro Trendlad.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Princess Die she used to do that all the time
she started.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
She didn't start. The she industry was always wearing a
different app Yeah, it's the Royal family.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
What did you recycle the out here?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
And that's what the Royal family is doing that more
and more, more and more people are being far more
conscious about this kind of stuff. Fast fashion. Does it
pass the pub test?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
No, it doesn't because it all ends up in landfill.
It's a waste of resources and endusting landfill. No out,
But there's a balance. I've got a coach that I
bought thirty years ago. I wore it to a conference
two weeks ago and got so many compliments and I
just had to say, this vintage, it's thirty years old.
But when my joggers hurt my feet because they are

(01:34):
no longer supported, I take them to rebel or athlete
foot Stay, recycle the rubber, and I'm buying your there.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
No like I would never ever buy any fashion online
because if I don't like her on me, or it
doesn't fit me, it's her to take it back.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Well it doesn't, or the fashion they use, how they
use the wrong material. Starting itself uses a quarter of
the world spectalicide. That's the world specified for me. You
should be using a different fiber. My suggestion is to
use hemp, but chuses no test aside gets more fiber
Paraco than cotton, and we've got the technology now to
use it for textiles hemp, hemp, and then you can

(02:13):
have a bit of Hayman after

Speaker 3 (02:14):
You gave her a rock dress like what he Harrelson,
thank you for all your calls.
