-
Claim: Consumers should put pressure on fashion companies that pollute their environment to change their practices.
Counterclaim: Individuals cannot be expected to conduct deep research on the practices of every business from which they intend to purchase items. -
Claim: Fashion companies must either reform their practices to avoid doing further harm to the environment or face new regulations from the government.

Claim: People should purchase less clothing and focus on building wardrobes of durable and sustainable clothing.
Counterclaim: (No specific counterclaim matched here, but it may align with the affordability claim if expanded upon as a need for affordable options.)
