#154 Czy drugi obieg to fast fashion 2.0?

Does second-hand shopping really save the planet, and is shopping at thrift stores a crutch in the spokes of fast fashion? In this episode, I examine hard data. I analyze research showing that people who shop secondhand often... buy more overall, including new clothes. I explain the rebound effect and why the justification ("it's used, after all") can increase overall consumption rather than reduce it. I also break down a specific case study: a cotton T-shirt. I compare the environmental footprint of new and second-hand items (CO₂ emissions, water consumption, energy). The differences are huge, but only under one condition: that buying a used item actually replaces a new one, and that the product lasts a long time, instead of being circulated on the international vintage market. This episode explores the tension between the idea of ​​circularity and the reality of the market and our human nature. I invite and encourage you to discuss when second-hand clothing is an anti-capitalist expression of rebellion and a tool for reducing our environmental footprint, and when it's just another trigger for overconsumption.
