Remember Phia? Well, it looks like the cookie stuffing was going on for a lot longer than previously disclosed. And co-founders Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni knew about and encouraged the development of the software features that enabled it.

this SNL skit perfectly sums up consumers’ paradox with fast fashion
them:
the clothes are cute & cheap but they smell like gasoline…there’s no forced labor or shady stuff going on, right?

them:
no 😕

Just wanna plug my absolute favorite Chrome Extension: Beni! Currently looking for some sophisticated white boots, so I did a normal search, and Beni automatically pulled up the same style on secondhand sites! You can set filters so it only shows your size!

The US secondhand market is expected to reach $82 billion by 2026. With nearly 3 in 4 retail executives saying they have or are open to offering second hand to their customers, it’s safe to say businesses are catching on. Circularity = less GHGs and less waste.
