Does fashion affect your health? While it’s not what you wear, it’s who you are; however, sometimes what you wear affects who you are for the worst. Today Lauren chats with Alden Wicker of EcoCult about what is in your clothing and why it matters what you wear. Tune in for ways this will affect your children too, as well as how we can make the clothing industry better for everyone, plus changes you can implement with your wardrobe now. The biggest deep dive comes with Wicker’s book “To Dye For,” which BGMAD has read and recommends.
