The purpose on this piece is amazing. I can understand the importance on reducing fast fashion and treating my clothes with care though I would say that the importance of your poster needs to be amplified by your posters tone. I feel like the color palette tone and choices make your poster not seem so serious though this may be just my view
Hello, this is a very well put together infographic. I personally have never heard about this issue but this infographic really puts everything into perspective for me. I enjoy the fast fashion definition since I did not know what it was. I also like the process that this infographic took by explaining the problem and showing the impact on the environment and ending off with solutions. Good Job
The title caught my eye and made me interested in reading this infographic. I love the background color, it does not make the infographic harsh. It flows well and makes it pleasing to look at. I thought starting off with the “Did you know?” grabs the readers attention and makes you want to read more. The environmental impacts were shocking to read, it is crazy how much it affects pollution and CO2 emissions. Overall, awesome job!
The fashion industry produces a lot more pollution than I thought, I didn’t expect them to be responsible for such a large percent of water pollution AND CO2 emissions. The industry is producing lower quality clothes that have fewer uses, but combining this with a culture that over consumes creates a lot of clothing waste. You promote a mindfulness when making clothing purchases. One should buy clothes to last instead of wearing clothes for the season they are fashionable.
This infographic was really informative I think the information was really crucial and a different way to see clothing and how it is really made. There are so many negative aspects to making clothing that is not the best quality. But we can also see how investing in good quality clothing plays a huge part in our planet and how we are able to live.
I really love the title in your infographic! I have heard that fast fashion is really bad for our environment and they also contribute to child labor. What I didn’t know is that they use 2,700 liters of water. I do believe that people should be aware of such because like you mentioned, not only does fast fashion clothes have a shorter lifespan due to the low quality but it also really affects our environment. Due to the clothes not lasting they are usually thrown away. I really liked how you said that we should invest in high quality clothes and how we should donate what we do not use instead of throwing it away. We can recycle clothes so it helps both our environment and people who cannot afford to have high quality clothes
Hello! This is another beautiful and easy to follow infograph. I commonly find that well fashioned infographs (no pun intended) are more difficult to follow along with but that is no the case in this infograph as it is well organized and the information is easy to understand. Fast fashion is definitely an issue that’s affecting everyone world wide and while it may seem like an easy solution to not support fast fashion and to only buy sustainable, high quality pieces many people do not have access to these pieces for many reasons. Someone who identifies as low income may not be able to justify spending a large amount of money on a piece that is high quality because it is financially a better option for them to buy from more accessible fast fashion companies such as shein, amazon, forever 21, etc. as purchasing second hand can sometimes be more expensive and easily be deemed “not worth the money” when someone could potentially buy a new garment for a low price from somewhere like shein. This is a difficult issue to navigate as an individual but talking about it it and getting the conversation going is among one of the best actions we can do. Great job bringing this issue to light.
I liked your infographic it was creative. However, you could’ve implemented names of specific fast fashion industries and discussed the negative impacts they have caused the environment. I also think it’s important to keep in mind that not everyone can afford high-quality clothing and that’s why they buy clothes from the fast fashion industries. This means that it is up to the higher-quality brands to lower their prices and start using recyclable materials. Then the fast fashion business will crumble.
I really like how the information was spaced out and each slide felt like a new topic but was the same one. I’ve heard a lot from others about fast fashion and the amount of water used per garment. Although it seems limiting fast fashion is difficult when there are giant corporations fueling it like Shien, Temu and Alibaba all coming from China which is not a environmentally favorable country. It would be better to buy higher quality clothes that are likely to stay in your closet for a long time then later passed down or donated to charitys.

Great infographic! Frames juxtapositions within the economy and the social order that one may not otherwise think about.
