It's time to ban fast fashion. I had the pleasure of discussing this issue for USA TODAY's podcast and video series, The Excerpt. The industry has a horrific impact on the planet and humans. We need legislation to curb its impact.

My @FastCompany colleague @LizSegran and I spoke to customers, lawyers, food safety experts, and the executives at Daily Harvest to find out how the company incorporated this ingredient into a product without any awareness of its potential for harm. fastcompany.com/90908456/dai…

It’s nice to see Barnes & Noble bounce back by—of all things—rededicating itself to being serious about books. Sadly, though, the one I’ve visited most often in recent years is about to close. (By @LizSegran.) fastcompany.com/90854345/bar…

We can't get around it. #NYFW is responsible for the scourge of fast fashion -- but I think it can also help kill fast fashion. Here's my plan for how to do it! fastcompany.com/90843984/fas…

"...3% of #apparel sold in [U.S.] is made locally.
But @BayardWinthrop...says it’s not as hard as you might think. Since he launched the brand a decade ago, he’s been painstakingly building out a local #SupplyChain...from #cotton to zippers"

“There is a tangible value associated with the ‘Made in the USA’ label,” says @ScottPaulAAM, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing. “Making sure the label is safeguarded, protected, and well-enforced is very important.” bit.ly/336YXIE

Our @ScottPaulAAM chatted with @LizSegran about maintaining the integrity of the #MadeinUSA label.
"Consumers should feel more confident today than they did a couple of years ago, though we still have to be vigilant," he says.

Thanks to Dr. @LizSegran, I learned about this class action lawsuit against New Balance on their "Made in USA" designation for some of their kicks.
It also shows how incredibly strict the "Made in the USA" brand is. Shinola's past battle comes to mind.
