Episode 46: Plastic Bags, Fast Tote Bags, and Lots of Legal Agreements: Corporate Waste with Anna (part II)

<p>Today’s episode features part two of our conversation with Anna Sacks (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thetrashwalker/">@thetrashwalker</a>). If you didn't listen to the previous episode, go do it now!  We’ll be continuing to talk about something we touched on in the first half of this conversation:  how retailers use NDAs and severance agreements to prevent workers from speaking out about their experiences, including all of the egregious amounts of waste they encounter as they are often forced to destroy perfectly good products.  That’s one of the reasons most people outside the industry don’t know that this is happening every day, in stores all over the world.  We will also be talking about retailer workers rights and all of the amazing things Anna is working on now.  <br>Also in this episode:  a special report on reusable bags vs. plastic bags.</p><p>Find Anna on TikTok<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thetrashwalker?lang=en"> here.   </a><br>And PLEASE sign Anna's petition regarding animal abuse at Petco and Petsmart <a href="https://www.change.org/p/petco-petsmart-awareness-for-pet-store-abuse-we-demand-higher-standards?redirect=false">here.  </a></p><p>If you have something to contribute to the conversation, thoughts, questions, more info...please reach out.  Your personal stories as consumers, workers, people who wear clothes, make clothes, sell clothes, like clothes...these personal stories are political at their core...and sharing these stories helps us shape what we do next.  So please reach out.  You can call the hotline at <strong>717. 925.7417. </strong> There’s also the old fashioned way, via email <a href="mailto:amanda@clotheshorse.world">amanda@clotheshorse.world </a>Or on instagram, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/clotheshorsepodcast/">@clotheshorsepodcast.</a></p><p>Want to support Clotheshorse *and* receive exclusive episodes, a weekly newsletter, and some swag? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/clotheshorsepodcast"><strong>Then become a patron!</strong></a><strong><br></strong
