What sustainability is to me is the ordeal of making something work alongside society. Using our knowledge to create values, plans, ideas to make our world a better place. That way everyone can live in a suitable condition. Typically how I partake in this is community service, although my act of help is so small it does make a difference. Whether it be planting new plants in your community, recycling, or helping someone with their financial issues is what makes sustainability work. As there's various ways to look at sustainability it's best to view it from all sides and how it benefits us. 

Information literacy is in terms of what sources are presented to us and how we use them. We apply these to real world situations in order to gain insight and perspective. Everyday we retain new information about the world through social media and news outlets. This is how information literacy applies to us and how we interpret it, and it may not always be credible. Information literacy is found through much of everything and it's for us to distinguish what we chose to believe and how to conclude what is factual. 

What I would like to learn about these topics are to learn about ways to integrate them into our lives. I myself aren’t familiar with too much information about both these topics so I like to see not only my knowledge but what new information we will be learning and how others acknowledge it. It’s good to see all perspectives for both of these topics to recongnize how to use these within both real world and written work. Thus finding more information can bring a greater view of how it functions both individually and throughout society. 

This is directed not only to the people but to the industries having easy access to selling these items to the general public. On the US market we have brands such as H&M, ZARA, ASOS, Uniqlo, Shien, and many more. Behind the scenes are what are truly important in this factor and should not be tolerated. These retailers are the reason many are taken advantage of, not aware of the kind of environmental damage they are partaking in. It's critical to think that many of these brands are thriving within this generation leading up to more non disposable items that end up where they shouldn’t. Fast fashion is located right under our fingertips, it’s online, instore, and in front of our faces. This is how industries make money, our own satisfaction of temporary items, and years of harm to the environment. It’s important to ensure the individuals will gain a better understanding of how we can change this.

At this very moment it has developed into what we see as earth's environment injury. As more people are buying, more companies are selling which thus leads up to ongoing consumption of fast fashion manufacturing. Though I have seen improvement of awareness with this issue all throughout social media. This is a big improvement of environmental sustainability. Many have been re-educated, called out, about the effects these brands brought to the environment. To endorse these brands because they are cheap and are easily accessible should no longer be an option. As new small businesses are rising, it’s better to invest into quality biodegradable clothing than purchasing something that would cause harm to both us and this earth. I think this is important because we live in a society that has ongoing trends and looks that bring us to buying new clothes. So being aware of what you buy can change how you affect our environment. 

I'm hoping to learn of other ways I could help promote the effects of fast fashion and ways we can help avoid buying it. Also to learn how these companies make money in comparison to companies who don’t use fast fashion. I’d like to learn about more options and  more ways that can help. As much that has been wasted and thrown out, there can be ways that can help prevent more individuals buying fast fashion as well as being aware of the environmental consequences. Environmental sustainability is a must and finding alternative resources can make a difference. As for a question, maybe suggest companies or businesses that are eco-friendly? It would be a great suggestion for both myself and our student peers.

The authority that Ghosh holds as an experienced writer is with the twenty plus years of experience. Specialising in writing financial marketing alongside his other favorite interests. This in itself certifies not only with Forbes but also with International Business Times, Forbes Japan, Indian Express and much more. Recognizing these efforts it means their work is reliable as it posted on well trusted platforms.  This isn't speculation but factual and opinionated thoughts about how people reacted over the issues that occurred during the movement and how people felt about there after.  However, this conversation can be continued by taking this info of both race and party and taking it to a higher poll all across the nation. This could essentially be a more accurate representation as well as pinpointing areas of where those who are Liberal or Conservative and if they were effected by this movement. Opening up options can create room to continue on about the differences of reaction. As much as there is data to prove that a political party is affiliated with race it’s a way of showing just how much this was reflected upon the movement and it’s purpose. This applies to all races, political parties, police violence, and racial justice. Ghosh wanted to set an example of how those who recognized these issues from the start actually started declining as the number of months went by. This is up for a continued discussion among those of the nation because as much as of an impact this movement has had the numbers tested say otherwise. 

Purpose: Giving the opportunity to both companies and people a chance of replenishing the damages non disposable clothing has caused by giving sustainable alternatives. This way no one has the ability to contribute to pollution any longer. 

Potential audiences who can impact change: Online consumers and known fashion brands such as ZARA, H&M and Shien. 

Research question: How can the fashion industry conduct a well established system of creating clothing without harming the environment while encouraging consumers to buy from them?

What my audience knows about this topic: My audience is aware that these specific companies are partially the cause of polluted landfills, and ocean due to the over consumption of cheap online purchasing. However consumers still depend on these companies because of pricing regardless of knowing the harm it causes to the environment. 

What questions I have: Do you believe the fashion industry eventually will all participate in becoming more sustainable by providing consumers with eco-friendly clothing essentials? How can companies promote sustainable fashion so that many others can start buying from them instead? Any companies you happen to buy from that don’t cause any harm to the environment regardless of pricing? 

What key words you used to search: fashion, harm, environment
What filters you used in your search: language(english), Scholarly peer reviewed articles, dates 2010-2021, subject as environmental protection
How did you select the sources that you decided to read: Reading the abstract before considering the work itself as well as looking at headings and keywords that correlate to my initial research question.
What questions do you still have about searching?: Possibly how many sources are necessary to use within our writings?

What was difficult about the reading process?: What I found most difficult about the reading process was the level of vocabulary as there are certain words used that I‘m not familiar with. Also using the believing/doubting game, not sure if it works with every workpiece or if it has to. 

What helped?: The subheadings really helped as they correlated each paraphrase to a certain idea or topic that correlated to the initial title. 

What questions do you still have about reading?: Sometimes the reading may contain a large amount of information talking about different ideas, how can that be minimized? Picking the most important point or try incorporating all of them in our work? 

The counter narrative: My counterargument is that companies should be able to entirely make a system that would wipe out the use of polyester and other damaging materials. It may essentially cost more but promoting a more stabilized and inspirational option can change things faster. This strategy can bring focus to both the clothing and the environment as it targets this challenge benefiting both companies and the environment. 

How the counter narrative can help solve the problem you are writing about: My counter-narrative can help solve the problem I’m writing about if companies didn’t focus too much on profit rather than thinking about the environment. It will wipe out the entire option of purchasing unethical goods from all platforms and help the environment out in so many ways. They can do so by using accessible alternatives such as cotton, silk, linen, lyocell and more. Companies should invest in such materials as there is less damage in the process of making something that will be more efficient that individuals can promote and make use of long term.
