A short interview with Iya on what it's like to work at a bakery.

An Interview with Iya -(Project 2)

In recent years, concerns about global warming and climate change have come to the forefront of society. Organizations and individuals have wasted no time in pointing out the worst offenders when it comes to pollution, among them, the fashion industry. A McKinsey 2016 report found that nearly three-fifths of all clothing ends up in incinerators and landfills within a year of being made. 

This pollution is a byproduct of what is known as “fast fashion”, where companies order huge quantities of clothing to be made almost every other month and sell it at a low price. Once orders are complete, leftover fabric, chemicals, and dyes get thrown out, and in some cases, are not disposed of properly. For many years, fast fashion has dominated the clothing market, but recently, a new trend has created positive change for the industry and the environment. 

	Eco-friendly fashion has evolved from a trend to a movement, with companies choosing to use recycled materials, less toxic dyes, and ethical methods of production in order to bring their fashion lines to consumers. While it has been met with praise and success, one question remains: can fast fashion turn around and adopt more sustainable production processes?

	Laura Chavarry reports on the industry shift that’s taking fashion into the future and helping the planet.

In this segment, I take a look at the popularity of streaming/buying parties on social media. It shows how fans are starting to play a bigger role in artist’s careers. Now, it’s not just the labels and companies running things; fans can help determine whether an artist is a flop or not. This can be good, but also bad.

The Online Growth of Streaming and Buying Parties

This story is about how fans are becoming a force for good when it comes to real-world issues. Like supporting BLM, taking over harmful hashtags, and donating to charity. They go beyond the stereotypical expectations of being a fan and use their presence and platform to help bring about change.
