@emaniclark9007 yes they were all english friendly! At Malportaco some of the servers were a little less fluent, but they always had a server who was fluent in english - so we didnt' have any issues!

thank you so much <3

thank you I definitely need to work on filming skills!

Totally agreed!

Good on you to consider the workers👍. Now the local subsidiaries of most big labels in Asia and the Middle East pay their workers as little as they can get away with already, it is actually why many of them choose these locations. And you're right, the workers generally have nowhere else to go, or they would not work knowing, for example, that any fire would most likely burn them alive (as happens on occasion due to lax building codes/supervision). But this means that we have to force the big labels on top to commit to and uphold some standards, which can be done by deciding against buying their stuff for humanitarian and environmental reasons/investing in better fashion etc. Not all prices are on the price-tag.

From what I've learned, yes sometimes garment workers really only have this as their only job opportunity and they have to take it to support their family. However I think as consumers, we have to put the pressure on brands. People at the top of these companies are benefiting / making all the money, while the workers are still suffering or barely making minimum wage.

Had your video playing in the video I made for earth day kzbin.infoyjnh5qK7IWc?feature=share 💚

Yes I heard about this recently too! I think there was controversy that Thinx perhaps was using some materials showed they actually contained PFAS which could be linked to health side effects. I think it ended with Thinx giving some reimbursement to customers + stating they will enforce stronger regulations around ensuring PFAS wont be used.. personally I still use mine because they're still in good condition but might look into the reimbursement if it's still available

@@thesustainabilityenthusiast Gotcha I gravitated to your channel from the upcycling video for I think fabric and outfits... Im currently working on a video about shredding plastic for recycling...enjoy your channel👍

I haven't! But I'll save it and definitely check it out if i'm there - thank you!

Thank you so much for watching!

Did you watch the full video to understand the connection?

I think it goes back to how the current fashion system is set up with a capitalist mindset, where you're always trying to out-do your competitors. I wonder what the fashion world would look like if it was more of an open source approach, where people can share their most sustainable manufacturers and solutions with each other. I think slowing down and sharing solutions is the alternative approach to the fashion system!
