Description

Your closet is meant to express your style — but it’s also one of the biggest drivers of environmental impact.

In this Seeing Green Podcast episode in the Greening My… series, we dive into how our fashion choices affect both people and the planet... and how taking a more "recommerce" approach can be good for wallet and good for planet.

We cover:

• Secondhand: why resale and thrift keep clothes in circulation and lighten fashion’s footprint
• Rental: how access-over-ownership models are reshaping wardrobes
• Repair: from DIY fixes to professional services that extend garment life
• Return & Take-Back: how brands are reclaiming products for resale or recycling

Along the way, we spotlight specific platforms and brands leading the way that listeners can check out — from Depop and ThredUp to Rent the Runway, Patagonia Worn Wear and Beni (and many many more).

The episode wraps up with three simple tips to green your own closet: start with just one secondhand purchase, learn a basic repair skill, or try renting for a special occasion. Because every garment kept in play a little longer is a win for your wallet — and the world.
