  • Summary

  • I’m on a first-name basis with the people who work in my local charity shops. I love them. In fact I’d say nearly all of my wardrobe is second hand. And it’s not just me, studies suggest the market for ‘pre-loved’ items could even become bigger than ‘fast fashion’ by 2029, so it looks as though thrifting is here to stay - but why?


    I’m Mary Mandefield and in this episode of Noted, I want to dig deeper into why secondhand shopping is becoming more popular and the real impact of fast fashion. I’ll speak to environmentalist and ethical influencer, Laura Young and I also visit Oxfam’s Northern Logistics Centre in Batley, to find out what happens to clothes that don’t get sold in their shops.


    And I’ve got tips on how you can save some money on your clothes, and help make a difference to the environment, too.


    Oh and just to let you know, we’ve come to the end of this series! All episodes of Noted are still available, so go back and explore. I want to say a big thank you for listening and hope you have a wonderful new year.


    Noted is an original podcast production from The News Movement and Persephonica.
