"Overdressed" and "The Conscious Closet" author Elizabeth L. Cline is interviewed by Nightly News about fashion pollution. Consumers are purchasing more with the rise of fast fashion, but they're also throwing more out. Americans send four times more clothing to the landfill today than they did in 1980, and those discarded items can take years to decompose.

You might feel good about donating your old clothes, but nobody actually needs them. Part of the problem is fast fashion. Experts say the solution is to stop buying. SOURCES Juliet B.

Cline discusses the rise of the conscious consumer and how the resale market and companies like thredUP and TheRealReal appeal to sustainability-minded shoppers.
