    With resources being needed in everyday life; they need to be well taken care of and used in a well mannered. At times we take for granted the resources and what is available for us. Water is a crucial resource that is needed to live and survive; without it we would be done for. Using water for something that is only going to be tossed and not useful to a specific person is something that water should not be used for. But when we come together and use the resources for something bigger, greater, and be able to reuse it in some kind of way; we would be able to end the demands of the things that we don’t need and make a future that can be well and better for the future generations.

    great title that explains the fashion industry and it’s impact. Although the fashion world is very interesting it is also very dangerous. The hyperfixation of one trend to the next is what hurts us in the end. Our earth provides but it is our need for new things that takes from what already gives. This publication is one that calls to me because it makes me upset of our damage but also it makes me want to want to do better and not be so greedy. I think this article is one that we all need to read for its importance but also its impact.

    This infographic was fantastic! Fast fashion needed to be discussed, especially since the majority of people shop on quick fashion websites. I liked how the entire thing was brief, to-the-point, and effective. It effectively conveyed its message. The piece not only thoroughly explained what fast fashion is but also how we can effectively stop it. I also really liked the color scheme! It worked perfectly for this Infographic.

    This infographic is fantastic! Simply put, this group’s choice of color scheme, formatting, and even iconography is flawless. I liked how the backdrop has these little color nuances that make it “pop” or appear lighter in comparison to the background. The content is also quite enlightening and does a wonderful job of teaching individuals with such lovely graphics as well.

    Impeccable and well written article. All the information in the article is amazing and informative. Yeah, That’s the best way to support and wear sustainable clothes which are ecofriendly. In this way, there will be a great change in terms of throwing clothes and fast fashion should be avoided.

    This infographic touches on the impact of fast fashion is a concise and east to understand manner. I found it to be an extremely informative and helpful resource. It effectively highlights the negative effects of fast fashion on the environment and people of the world. The suggested solutions are practical and easy to implement. However, I would have appreciated if the information on solutions/ resources provided could have been slightly more in-depth. Readers could benefit from additional resources to allow for further exploration of the issue, as it is multi-facted and complex. Overall, I enjoyed it and believe it is a useful starting point for anyone looking to understand the problems and threats of fast fashion.

    This was a very well put together infographic! Fast fashion is not only bad for the environment, but it also has effects on the workers that put the clothes together. The information that is put on the infographic is very well put together. The clothes that we wear from fast fashion do not last as long as usual, but if everyone starts to buy better quality clothing it will help the earth.

  • Alexander Garcia

    Very well designed and well researched infographic, I truly enjoyed every aspect of it because it was filled with so much information. I learned a lot about the dangers of fast fashion and I also got to see how much fashion impacts the environment which was not something I was aware of before reading this infographic. Although I believe fast fashion will always be a problem I definitely agree with the author’s given solutions and I think citizens all throughout the world can work together to help eliminate this issue by buying higher quality, longer lasting clothes.

    Congratulations on your nomination! This article contained great images that captured the essence of fast fashion! Fast fashion is an industry that produces trendy and disposable clothes for low prices, often resulting in negative environmental and social impacts. Producing one cotton t-shirt requires about 2,700 liters of water. Sales have doubled from 100 to 200 billion units a year; the average garment utilization has experienced a 36% decline.
