Fast Fashion Issues

<p>“What are the problems and potential within the fashion industry? Slow fashion, as opposed to fast fashion, is that a real option?".</p> <p>The main discussion in today's episode&nbsp;centres around the fast fashion industry, and what damage does fast fashion do to the environment, together with the amount of waste that's created by fast fashion. Including a quite startling stat around the amount of fashion that is produced but isn't actually sold.</p> <p>Are we forgetting what's important to people, and the planet? Should we instead be more open to buying less, or purchasing more second-hand clothes, and following the 5 R's of&nbsp;refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and then recycle?</p> <p>In today's episode Stuart and William discuss in their relaxed style the above question, set by listener&nbsp;Elaine in Telford, Shropshire, England.</p> <p>What do you make of this discussion?
