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?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>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.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>And I’ve got tips on how you can save some money on your clothes, and help make a difference to the environment, too.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>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.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Noted is an original podcast production from The News Movement and Persephonica.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"The News Movement & Persephonica"}
