This infographic stood out to me, I didn’t know that prices have risen to 300% in thrift stores. I had an idea that it has because plenty of people resell and it raises prices but 300% was shocking. I also liked how you gave us places to donate and give our clothes too and how straightforward the message was. Overall, great job!
I really enjoyed everything about this infographic. The colors were soft and blue and gold for the rattlers. You do a good job of presenting one of the little things an individual can do that makes a big difference. If a community came together and donated their clothes regularly there would be no more people in need of clothes. The shift in thrift store practices is disheartening, capitalism incentives profits over community, so when thrift stores see opportunity they take it. You did provide alternatives however, now I know I can donate clothes on campus.
I think this is a really good concept because we see the differences we make directly when we accomplish things ourselves. The info graphic was very interesting I liked the concept the information was also very valuable. Maybe including some sort of graph or percentages but other than that everything was great.
This was a really good infographic!. I did not know that there were people who thrifted clothes and then resold them to make profit. Because of this thrift stores increased their prices which has made it harder for those who actually can’t afford to buy clothes. I do believe that it makes it unfair for those who rely on thrift stores to get what they need. However I also see it from another perspective, if people buy second hand clothing this can maybe put fast fashion out for good. Fast fashion has been known for child labor and the materials used aren’t really good. Buying from resellers can be like a recycling process. On the other hand, I really like how you provided a non profit organization that can be used for those who really need it! Clothes should be an easy access for everyone who struggles financially. We know that thrifts aren’t as affordable as before, but there are still people who are willing to donate. If anything we should get more people to donate to churches or even schools which are non profit organizations. That way those who really need it have free access to clothes without having to pay anything.
I think it’s fitting to know that there are options other than thrift stores because of how popular they become considering their initial intentions were for those in need. I feel that it’s extremely amazing and important for people to know that their impact can be so much greater than they realize, such as donating clothes to shelters or churches. This approach is not only teaching environmentally friendly practices such as buying/giving second-hand clothing but also building a connection between people and members of their community who are in need.
Hello! This is a wonderful infograph highlighting ways that any household can get involved with contributing to sustainability. As your infograph mentions it’s no secret that as a worldwide population we need to be better with how we handle so much material excess. A great point and maybe a hard pull to swallow is that purchasing from re-sale shops may not be the best way to purchase used clothing. It would be much more sustainable to donate and purchase from places that directly benefit those in need. Wonderful points were made here and I really appreciated how you provided information on where we as students here at St. Mary’s can donate our used items. Thank and great job!
This is a great infographic because this is something many churches have specifically catholic churches like the one I’m apart of. I tend to forget that it exists but this convinced me to donate thanks to the statistic of a 300% increase in clothing cost for basic garments like shirts, jeans and shoes. I’ve heard of Heaven for Hope good choice of charity.
I love the idea behind your infographic. Thrifting is such a big deal in today’s age. The idea of making donations to Haven to Hope is a good idea. Giving someone who is less fortunate something that you no longer want is a good idea compared to throwing it away. I the colors are alright they kind of hurt my eyes if I look at it to long. I would’ve loved to see more icons or pictures to really grasp my attention. The concept is excellent but I’m not entirely in love with the infographic as a whole.
It truly feels inspiring after reading this to know how much can be achieved with very little–with only the will to get out there and help others. The design of this infographic is engaging, and I’m glad there are people out there trying to educate and convince others to contribute! The overall idea of the infographic appealed to me. Overall, I enjoyed the infographic and the way it was presented with the patterns and colors.
While I love the intent behind thrift stores, it unfortunately has become very pricey because it has become trendy. And it takes away an option from people who genuinely need the clothing. I did not know Haven for Hope helped out with clothing drives, so it’s great that you were referencing that for others who might want to volunteer or gift close to this. Great Job!
