    1.What are the pros of fast fashion?
    A pro of fast fashion is the designs are nice for a cheaper price.
    It can let people below the poverty line be able to wear trendy fashion.
    This type of fashion can help retailers gain more money as it’ll sell out quickly due to it’s low price.

    1) From our debate in Year 6, I think that fast fashion is very trendy and it is affordable. It has lots of styles and it helps the countries makes more money. I believe that people also make huge profits.

    2) In my opinion, fast fashion is bad for the environment because fast fashion gives 10% of annual global carbon emissions. Although fast fashion may look good, fast fashion clothes are thrown into the ocean with toxic dyes inside the clothing which makes our ocean not only less clean, but also more toxic.

  29. Aaminah A.

    Suraiyah and Aaminah are against team.
    Fast fashion is a bad choice as all clothes last for a short time and most clothes go to landfill and harm the environment. As well as that most clothes are made out of a cheap fabric which contains plastic which makes the actual clothes low quality. We should try to minimise the amount of clothing we buy.

  30. Safah D.

    (I’m on the pro side)

    1) The pros about fast fashion would be, how fast our costumers would receive the order and it would be wayy cheaper.
    2) Although it will be faster, the quality of or clothes will be rubbish
    QUANTITY OVER QUALITYY!!!!!
