THE QUESTION NO.1 What surprised you most about the company who makes your clothes? Please give three examples. I was surprised that my favorite clothes company, Adidas, is polluting the Chinese longest river, the Yantze River, because dispose of something with chemicals can damage the environment. The Yantze River is also used as a source of drinking water. The information about Uniqlo is also shocking. As I searched about Uniqlo, I realized that Uniqlo is making new 600,000,000 of clothes every year. Even though, they have donated 10,000,000 of clothes since 2006, however, the number of clothes that Uniqlo is making for a year is too wasteful. If they sells all the clothes that they made, it does not affect to the environment. Unless, the most of useless clothes will fill the 5% of land in Africa ANNUALLY! I was dumbfounded when I realized that Puma's true aspects in making clothes. Puma's dye house is producing the Greenhouse Gas. The emission comes out during process of dyeing, and it makes Greenhouse Gas.

THE QUESTION NO. 2 After finding out about where your clothes come from, will you purchase clothing differently in the future? Why or why not? After I found out about where my clothes come from, I will going to purchase the clothes after I search a company which does not impact environmental harm while they are making their clothes. The famous clothing brands mostly have environmental cons. Thus, I will not gonna purchase the clothes that can be harmful to the environment even if, it made by the famous brand.
