Your outfit is trash | Make Me Smart

What happens to our clothes when we're done with them, they go out of style or just lose a button? #MakeMeSmart #SustainableFashion

Maybe we donate them, or sell them, but too often we throw them away. And that's to say nothing about how they're produced - the clothes we wear are tied to climate change as what we eat or how we get around. And in recent years, the impact of clothing on the environment has drastically increased. That's the argument fashion reporter Dana Thomas makes in her new book "Fashionopolis: the Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes." She joins us this week to unpack the problems and explore some potential solutions. Programming note: This week was supposed to be our sixth Explanation, but we had to delay it a couple weeks. The good news is you have more time to submit your questions!

I love the fact that Molly uses a classic AKG C414 microphone. Was that her choice? Her personal gear? It's a great vocal mic. I lusted after one when in school back in the 80s.

Great facts and a complete eye-opener episode. But, is it just me or anybody else also felt that Dana Thomas was promoting her book more than required? Coz at one point I went like - 'Enough of this book!'

It blows my mind thinking about the stuff we do to this planet just for profit.
