Minnesotans are combatting fast fashion through various initiatives, including supporting local thrift stores and vintage shops, which promote sustainable consumption by encouraging the reuse of clothing. Additionally, many residents participate in clothing swaps and community events that focus on repairing and upcycling garments, allowing them to refresh their wardrobes without contributing to the fast fashion cycle.

### How did the resource add to what you learned in the videos?

The resources provided in the game, such as the "Fast Fashion Graveyard" article from Science World and NPR's related articles, offered deeper insights into the environmental and social impacts of fast fashion that may not have been thoroughly covered in the videos. They highlighted the scale of waste generated by the fashion industry and illustrated personal stories of garment workers, which emphasized the human cost behind cheap clothing.

### What were surprising facts or key takeaways from the resources?

One surprising takeaway was the staggering volume of textile waste generated by the fast fashion industry, with millions of tons ending up in landfills each year. Additionally, it was eye-opening to learn about the conditions faced by garment workers, including low wages and unsafe working environments, which contrast starkly with the consumer culture that demands low-cost, trendy apparel. The resources also shed light on how consumers are often unaware of the true costs of their fashion choices.

### How convincing was the resource you viewed? How might you or others take action because of the information presented?

The resources were quite convincing as they presented well-researched facts and personal narratives that evoked empathy and awareness. They effectively communicated the urgent need for change in consumption habits. In response to the information presented, I might take action by reducing my own clothing purchases, opting for more sustainable brands, and participating in local clothing swaps. Additionally, I could advocate for awareness campaigns in my community about the impacts of fast fashion and support policies that promote sustainable practices within the clothing industry.
