In this special short series, Conscious Questions, Stella and Elizabeth dive into some of the most talked about and ask questions in the sustainable fashion space. Today, we're talking about a big one: overconsumption.

There were 100 billion items of clothing produced in 2014, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. But that was before the rise of ultra fast fashion giants like Shein. So that number is likely much larger today!

And global fiber production increased to a record 113 million tonnes last year, according to the Textile Exchange. That figure has almost doubled in the last 20 years and is expected to further increase to 149 million tons by 2030. Yikes!

So who or what is to "blame" for this rapid rise of overconsumption and overproduction?  We're sharing some perspectives in this episode.

Over the 19th and 20th centuries physical power, social power, and economies grew explosively. The main cause was humanity’s exploitation of fossil fuels. Sources of oil, coal, and natural gas – a vast underground storehouse of ancient sunlight – provided an almost magical and seemingly unlimited supply of energy to grow more food, provision more people, build more cities, and create more technologies. But this age of "more" also brought global warfare, consumerism, and overproduction. Improve your energy literacy with stories about pushing motor vehicles, enduring blackouts, and growing $10 tomatoes, and take a tour of history that visits ancient China, industrializing Britain, the Great Depression, the Cold War, and the Green Revolution. Resources mentioned in this episode include a juxtaposition of old and new city photographs, and Jason Bradford’s report The Future Is Rural. The song, "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" was written by lyricist Yip Harburg and composer Jay Gorney. For more information, please visit our website.

The impacts of fast fashion have been well documented — awareness of the industry's destruction of the environment and exploitation of people around the world has never been higher.

Yet, we are continuing to see a rise in fast fashion consumption. In fact, when you look at ultra-fast fashion brands like Shein, fast fashion has only gotten cheaper, faster, and bigger.

We're in the midst of a climate crisis. So why can't we stop buying so many cheap clothes? 

What makes this fast-fashion habit so particularly hard to break? Well, that is what we're going to be talking about today with our guest: Zainab. In this episode, she'll be breaking down:

• What ultra-fast fashion exactly is
• Why it's so addictive, especially for young people
• How fast fashion's marketing tactics keep people hooked on their "drug"
• The role that influencers play in overconsumption
• And how we can start to challenge and change these fast fashion systems.

Hit play and join us in exploring just how fast fashion brands are "using every trick in the book to get us addicted"...
