Secondhand Sunday

Is that Christmas in the air, or is it capitalism?

There's no doubt about it: overconsumption degrades the planet. Enter Secondhand Sunday, a new-ish shopping holiday that's nestled between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It's dedicated to all-things thrifted and redirects shoppers away from mass consumption and toward pre-loved items instead. 

On today's show Poshmark's Kelly Mason inspires us to think differently about shopping during the holidays.
