Emily, I think this topic is super important because not a lot of people realize that the way they choose to shop for clothing affects the environment. This article (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/03/books/review/how-fast-fashion-is-destroying-the-planet.html) holds a lot of detail on the subject and even the recounts the story of how fast fashion became such a problem.

I strongly agree with your argument.
“Another reason why schools should not have authority to limit what you say online because it depends on the time and place it is happening” is a good point because much of what students post online is not done during school hours.
When schools limit our free speech they are denying us our first amendment…[Read more] -

Estimada Emily :
Estoy muy interesada con su publicación, “Why is climate change bad? What can you do to stop it? “, por que es muy importante saber sobre el cambio climático. El cambio de clima puede ocasionar varias enfermedades, principalmente resfriado.
Cuando el clima es más frío tenemos que estar bien abrigados para no enfermarnos.
Una frase que usted escribió que se destaca para mi es: “Las temperaturas más altas causan clima extremo”. Por que entre mas baja la temperatura hace más frío de lo normal.
Debemos de protegernos contra el frío ya sea abrigandonos o usando inyecciones para protegernos del frío, para no enfermarse de gripe, tos u otras cosas.
Si llegamos a enfermarnos debemos de ir inmediatamente a el doctor.
Gracias por su escritura. Espero ver lo que escribes a continuación, porque me gusta mucho la forma en que hace sus publicaciones.
Habla sobre cosas de las cuales todos tenemos que estar enterados.
Además nos da a conocer cosas sobre el clima es muy importante saber porqué surge el cambio de clima. -
The Global warming is already endangering life on earth. We need to do something to change.
For the climate change, we can do a lot of things.
1. Take public transit, like take the bus.
2. Ride a bike or advocate for bike lanes in your community
3. Car-share. Share you car to others.

This article was amazing! Its clear that you put energy and effort into your research! I think that it was important to bring up the mentioned alternatives, but do you think people will get on board with only buying used clothing? It seems like it would be difficult to get a consensus to do this! Heres a link that may help with further research! (https://www.farmdrop.com/blog/how-to-fight-fast-fashion/)
I can’t wait to see what you write next!

Hi Emily,
I really liked your article because I never knew fast fashion was this big of a problem in our world today. I liked how you said there isn’t a perfect solution, but there are a bunch of little things that we can do to make sure that we are supporting ethical and sustainable brands. Here is a link to a website that provides brands that are both ethical and sustainable but still affordable: https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/fair-trade-clothing .
