CBC
About this episode

Sixteen-year-old Evon Murphy loves thrift shopping. Partly because she enjoys fashion and likes to save money. But also because buying secondhand is one way to reduce the impact of the fashion industry on the climate. We meet up with Evon at a Vancouver thrift store to talk about the stories she’s written for CBC Kids News about emissions from clothing production, and how young people can push for solutions. And we sneak in a little browsing among the leather jackets and band tees while we’re at it.
