@nopasaran505 It always amazed me in high school that people would spend nearly $50 on a water bottle to then cover it with stickers. I always found it interesting looking at the stickers they chose to use and display on their desk.
My family uses a service called Ridwell. A van comes once a week to collect items that normally can't be recycled. I think this service creates more environmental harm than it does good due to how much effort goes into recycling a single product. #globalstudies150
@LC22Lisa I've never heard a negative thing said about Princess Diana. I find this really cool because most well-known people have negative comments made about them.
Lot's of people are talking about how the Ukraine president is fighting with his people. However, in the images i've seen he does not have any plates in his vest. So I question if this is being used as propaganda (good or bad) or real news. #globalstudies150
@MarauderTheory I'm for the 2nd amendment, in part because I enjoy shooting guns as sport, and the added security it gives me knowing I can protect myself. Knowledge is power, if you are afraid of guns I believe the best thing to do is understand how to use them.
Apple products are a part of "fast-fashion" in my opinion. Some people buy the new version every year even when their current phone is perfectly fine. How come more people don't talk about this? #GlobalStudies150
@LC22Lisa @AmalDeria I was going to research hiking boots for my object and couldn't find hardly anything on the manufacturing process. It made me wonder the same thing!
I have 2 little siblings at home who are 4 and 8. There's always toys all over my house (creating clutter) I've never thought about the fact that they used to be kept in a designated room. #GlobalStudies150
A lot of our class readings have involved capitalism. It's a complicated question, but do you think capitalism is generally good or bad?

@Ro_MercedesA I think buying from brands that produce better quality clothing would make a big difference. Many cheap clothing items break after a couple uses and get thrown away. Think of all the waste this creates vs buying a good quality product.
Do "Shein Clothing Haul" videos pop up on anyone else's social media? This is a prime example of fast fashion. After looking up where Shein manufactures its clothing, I found this interesting article.

After watching the true cost, I wonder who will change the way they shop for clothes, or at least look into where they are being manufactured. #globalstudies150
