*NEW EPISODE JUST DROPPED* We're excited to drop the newest episode of Sustainable Sun Prairie! This episode focuses on fighting fast fashion and features special guest Lauren Cohen, a student at University of Wisconsin Extension pursuing a master's degree in Sustainable Management. As we browse through the racks of trendy clothes or scroll through thousands of pictures of online fashion options, it’s easy to focus on what’s in front of us and to overlook the hidden costs of our fashion choices. The reality is that the garments we wear come with a hefty environmental price tag with a large amount of clothing ending up in landfill. In fact, the average American throws out 81 pounds of clothes every year. Join us in this engaging episode as we discuss the true cost of the fashion industry and practical strategies anyone can implement to combat fast fashion. Listeners can easily tune in to the podcast by accessing the Sun Prairie Media Center app, tuning into to 103.5 The Sun, or visiting https://lnkd.in/gr6BEzUe. Additionally, the podcast is available on platforms such as Spotify, Amazon Music, and Google Podcasts.

🎙️ Podcast Alert: Addressing Overproduction in Fashion 🎧 I'm absolutely thrilled to share my recent conversation with the lovely Amy on "Grounded in Maine Podcasts". In this episode, we delve deep into overproduction and try to find solutions to limit fashion’s carbon footprint. 👗 Why This Conversation Matters: As someone deeply embedded in the fashion world, I've seen the significant environmental impact of our industry, particularly in Fast Fashion. This podcast was a chance to share my insights and advocate for key changes. We discussed how the fashion business can evolve in response to global warming, going beyond traditional views of sustainability as a costly obligation rather than an investment in the future. 🌍 Exploring Overproduction: At the core of today's fashion industry is the issue of overproduction. Brands, big and small, are producing countless styles and colour-ways every season. This not only saturates the market but also leads to an enormous amount of waste. The first, and perhaps the fastest step towards sustainability, is for brands to look at the number of styles and colour ways in their collections. It's about asking, "Do we need these many styles? Can we reduce the number of colour-ways?" By simply cutting down on the sheer number of styles and SKU’s, brands can make a significant step towards reducing their environmental footprint. This approach not only aligns with environmental goals but also creates a more focused, quality-driven brand identity that consumers wi;; appreciate and trust. 💡 What Listeners Can Expect: This episode takes a deep dive into how sustainable practices can reshape the fashion industry. It's a call to action for conscious decision-making in both personal fashion choices and industry practices. 🎙️ Listen to the Full Conversation: Join us as we explore strategies and insights for a more responsible fashion future. Your support and engagement in this topic are crucial for making a real difference. 🔗 Link to the podcast: https://lnkd.in/eRJ9cY-B #GroundedInMainePodcast #sustainablefashion #environmentalimpact #fashionindustry #podcast #sustainability #fastfashion #missloveterra

I’ve really come to dislike the sustainable fashion community’s favorite saying, “Buy less, buy better,” 🙊 because it oversimplifies the complex relationship between consumer behavior and sustainability. Consumer behavior is multifaceted, influenced by internal factors like personal Identity and lifestyle and external factors such as marketing, social norms, and economic conditions. As a concept, ‘buy less, buy better’ makes perfect sense, but in its application, it fails to acknowledge the various psychological, social, and cultural dynamics that shape purchasing decisions. You may have every intention to buy less and better, but it’s not always that straightforward or that simple. I’m fascinated by the WHY behind what we buy and how we can leverage this understanding to create sustainably focused products, services, experiences, and systems consumers genuinely want to engage with and buy. Spoiler alert: that's exactly what we’re exploring on the Green Behavior podcast OUT NOW! Each episode features conversations with neuroscientists, researchers, industry experts, innovators, thought leaders, and more, exploring the intersection of fashion, sustainability, consumer behavior, and psychology. Whether you’re an industry professional, a sustainability advocate, or simply curious about how psychology influences your purchasing decisions in fashion, this podcast is for you. We’re officially LIVE with two episodes! 🥳 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/ee2zMTkt Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/ecug_UAK Tune in now on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and lettme know what you think—if you agree or disagree! 🎧🧠

Chief Futurist and CEO of Futures Present, Canada Chair of the Women Economic Forum, Association of Professional Futurists Board Member, Fellow at the School of International Futures
I highly recommend this episode! I just finished listening to it and want to share it with sooooooooo many people. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Both Steven Lichty and Clarice Garcia, PhD present extraordinarily sophisticated work that is on the edges of two completely different societies. Clarice is on the way to paradigm shifting #fashion consumer behaviour. This work is not about trends that help sell more stuff faster. It's a pry bar for massive impact on an industry that is 10% of carbon emissions. 🚮🤬 Steven connects metrics of change to youth in Kenya. what does thinking about the future do, really? Let's create benchmarks. Steven can imagine the impact. 🪜🪜🪜🧾✅
