Fast fashion, the cheaply priced and produced garments created through the rapid design, production and distribution of clothing, encourages constant, cyclical purchasing and ultimately generates harmful levels of textile waste, water pollution, and carbon emissions. #EM203Robin
@em203jordS Great insights. A big problem: “Students lack exposure to sustainable fashion education in school, reinforcing fast fashion habits and environmental harm.” #EM203problems
@EM203mdatz One key issue from your map: “Many local governments lack infrastructure to monitor and trace pollutants, weakening efforts to regulate factory emissions.” #EM203problems
@Noahrauu The decline of unions and wage stagnation raise a real problem: “Lack of collective bargaining power leaves low-wage workers vulnerable to stagnant incomes and job insecurity.” #EM203problems
@EM203Ehan A key problem tied to your concept map: “Lack of equitable internet access in remote/rural areas limits access to education info and future prospects.” #EM203problems

Just started #EM203Robin and already seeing how digital tech reshapes learning. From textbooks to networks, I got to reflect on connectivism, which shows us that knowledge now lives in connections, not just experts. Ready to co-create and collaborate in this digital age!
