The New Reality: May 27
Description
May 27, 2023
Our overconsumption of fast fashion and its complicated supply chain continue to have massive environmental impacts. Now, shoppers are demanding more sustainable clothing options. Brands and retailers are responding with new items and promoting their green and eco-friendly lines.
But how can consumers tell if this is real change that will help the planet? Or are retailers greenwashing their way into Canadian closets? Kayla McLean looks for answers in this week’s episode of The New Reality. Plus, having a drink with friends to celebrate -- or to unwind -- is an accepted part of many people's lives. But more Canadians, especially younger ones, are turning away from alcohol. It's known as “sober curiosity”, and it’s more than a temporary break, it's a way to create long-term habits for our physical and mental well-being. Gen Z is at the forefront of this new movement, and as Sophie Lui discovered, they are making it cool to take a break from booze – helped, in part, by having more zero-proof choices than ever.
