235. The Impacts of Fast Fashion on the Environment with Kristi Soomer

As health-conscious individuals, we put a great deal of effort into cleaning up our environment. We eat an ancestrally consistent diet, make sure our makeup and cleaning products are non-toxic and avoid plastics like the plague, but we often overlook our clothes. The truth is, our clothing can be just as toxic as these other factors. Today on the show, Samantha invites Kristi Soomer, the founder and CEO of the sustainable slow fashion brand, Encircled, to fill us in on the negative effects of fast fashion on both our environment and hormones. As Kristi describes the ethical and ecological differences between fast and slow fashion, it becomes easy to see why her company, Encircled, is so passionate about making ultra-stylish and comfortable work-leisure clothes in a way that honors its consumers and the planet.
