The overall topic of my project was fast fashion and the environmental impact it left on the world. The goal of my project was the learn about the dangers of fast fashion, what it was and how we can stop it. I wanted to research about the harm it does and how we contribute to the harm.

I used dataset sites, articles and a proposed waste management document made for raising awareness about the disposal of our clothes and fast fashion. These sources were extremely informative and useful for learning about how to analyze through heaps of information and taught me a lot about our wastefulness and lack of knowledge of what happens to our clothes before they come to stores and what happens after we throw them out.

Using these sites has impacted my understanding of how technology can change the world because all the information is very easily accessible for everyone to see, if they know where to look. This can change and help the world because we can educate ourselves unlike before, everything we need to know to improve our understanding on such major issues like fast fashion is just a couple of clicks away.
