 * 1) The article delves into the economic dynamics behind the fast fashion industry. It explores how fast fashion brands produce trendy clothing quickly and inexpensively, often at the expense of ethical and environmental concerns. The piece discusses the economic incentives driving this model, such as low labor costs and high consumer demand for affordable fashion. It also examines the environmental and social impacts of fast fashion, including textile waste and poor working conditions. Ultimately, it suggests that consumers should be aware of these issues and consider more sustainable alternatives when making purchasing decisions. I will use this source to add to the fast fashion section and the economic section of the article.
 * 2) This source provides a lot of statistical information that is relevant to the environmental impact of the fashion industry, brand transparency, and consumer response/ sentiments towards sustainability in the fashion industry. These statistics are helpful to add more transparency to the article and updated information.
 * 3) This source  presents statistics highlighting the staggering environmental impact of fast fashion. It discusses the immense amount of textile waste generated by the industry, noting that globally, over 92 million tons of textile waste are created each year. It also examines the carbon footprint of fast fashion, pointing out that the industry is responsible for around 10% of global carbon emissions. The piece highlights the harmful effects of textile dyeing and water pollution, as well as the social implications of fast fashion's reliance on cheap labor. I will use this information to add to the environmental impact section of the article.
 * 4) This article outlines how greenwashing can take various forms, such as misleading advertising or exaggerating environmental efforts. The piece also explores the motivations behind greenwashing, including the desire to attract environmentally conscious consumers or to deflect criticism. Additionally, it highlights the importance of consumers being vigilant and discerning when evaluating companies' environmental claims.I will use this information to add to the greenwashing section of the article.
