#MondayMotivation #Gratitude can be part of the little moments that make life beautiful. Let’s remember to embrace those moments!

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

@EM203Abhinav Your map highlights a timely issue: “High interest rates are blocking first-time homebuyers from affording mortgages, deepening generational housing inequality.” #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

Fighting fast fashion starts small. Swapping, repairing, and choosing quality over quantity can make a real difference. Here’s a glimpse at what rethinking fashion looks like. (Photo sourced from the Ethicalist) #EM203Robin

Fast fashion is accelerating, and so is its impact on the planet. This article breaks down how the industry became faster and far more harmful. A must-read for anyone interested in sustainable change or reducing their carbon footprint. nytimes.com/2022/06/22/lea… #EM203Robin

Staggering visuals from Chile’s Atacama Desert reveal the global impact of fast fashion, with mountains of discarded clothing polluting one of the driest places on Earth. A must-read to understand the real cost of cheap clothes. nationalgeographic.com/environment/ar… #EM203Research

@EM203abbyb I've really enjoyed this aspect of the class too, Abby! Glad to hear about your positive experience thus far.

The first few lessons in #EM203Robin have been so fascinating to learn about! I think it’s so neat learning about how we learn and how different pieces of media have different effects on learning!! :)

@em203jordS I agree! We should be leveraging technologies in ways that still allow us to critically think!

@Noahrauu Way to post about one of the cool activities we did in class, Noah!

During week 2 our group learned about connectivism, which showcases how knowledge exists within a network of connections. A practical example of this is: - using google scholar to bring together your thoughts on a research paper #EM203Robin

@EM203Ehan I'm also excited to keep learning in this course, Ehan!

@Alex169057828 Glad you're having a positive experience thus far, Alex!

Been learning so much in the first 3 weeks of #em203robin. I've found it most interesting learning about the differences of teaching and learning now, in the digital age, compared to the past. Loving how this class is expanding my thinking and I'm so excited to learn more!

Climate change continues to impact regions like Africa disproportionately. Urgent action and research are critical. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

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!
