Welcome!

 Welcome to my blog. 

My name is Hina, and I would like to share with you the reality of the fast-fashion industry. 

I have been wearing fast-fashion brands for a while now, such as H&M, ZARA. However, as I started shopping at pricier brands, I wondered why the clothes from H&M and ZARA were cheap. 

I had been doing some research ever since, and the information I know as of now is...

  1. There are people who are working at far below the minimum wage and in terrible condition to make the items.
  2. The process to produce items has negative effects on the environment.
  3. The materials used also has negative effects on the environment
In this blog, I would like to answer the question that I previously posted weekly!

    This is an excellent introduction to your blog and what you plan to accomplish in it. It might make your blog more relatable to other if you identify more who you are. I don't mean by telling personally identifying information about yourself, but just by explaining for example a bit about your background. Your readers may not even know what country you're writing from.

    Also, it would help if there were more visual elements to your blog. Try embedding some copyright-free photos, photos that you've taken yourself, or embedded videos.

There are many kinds of plant-based fibers other than cotton.  Abaca- aka Manila Hemp. It comes from the leave sheaths around the stem of a plant Abaca, a banana specie.
