064: How to Shop Secondhand the 21st Century Way

2019-03-19 Mama Minimalist

Let me guess: You like the *idea* of thrifting as a means of preserving both your hard-earned money + the planet.

But in practice, things get muddled. Who has the time, energy or desire to sift through mounds of less-than-ideal garments in search of a genuine find?

Here’s the good news: These days, it’s easier than ever to shop secondhand.

My guest this week is Lauren Spraggins. She’s a fashion reseller who searches for, cleans, mends + presses secondhand items. Thanks to fashion resellers like Lauren, resurrecting once-loved garments is now accessible to the average time-crunched consumer.

Learn tricks of the reselling trade + how, exactly, you can benefit in this week’s episode.

Enjoy!

Labors Of Love

Last year was the hottest year on record, so it's safe to say that Earth Day as we traditionally celebrate isn't working.

On today's show I suggest what I believe is the antidote to the climate crisis (and I'm willing to bet you won't be able to guess what it is!).

Here's a preview:

[3:45] The Big 5: We know what we should do environment-wise, so why aren't we doing it?

[7:15] Communal care is anti-capitalist, and that's really darn important

[16:30] Here's what research finds re: the relationship between collectivist culture and pro-environmental behaviors

[24:00] If the problem is disconnection, is the solution as simple as authentic reconnection?

[34:00] It's actually not hard at all to pivot from the conventional, negative feedback loop we find ourselves currently in

* A note from Stephanie: No Headlines Friday, and Tuesday's episode will be out next Wednesday!
