@JanineJones-Browne would we be able to use your comment as an anonymous testimonial to the course? Please let me know :) Thank you!

@JanineJones-Browne would you be up for uploading your manifesto and portfolio to the Miro board? We would love to see your work as a final year fashion student, and it can still be a work in progress :)

Hi Gualtiero, thanks for your question! I raised this with Respect for Animals last week as it's sourced from their report and am still waiting for a reply. Thanks for your patience - I will get back to you as soon as I can!

Hi Janine, we are so pleased to hear that you've found the course valuable and it will continue to be in the future for you. Feel free to share the course with your fashion classmates, and stay in touch with us by sharing any social media handles - we'd love to see your future work, by the sounds of it compassion in fashion!

Hi Janine, apologies for the slight discrepancy. Question 1 is '3 years of drinking water', answer 2, and this has been updated now.

@RenateR thank you so much! Can we (ACTAsia) use this comment as a testimonial for use in our promotion and marketing of this course? We need your permission to use it and it would be anonymous. Absolutely fine if not - if you could let me know either way that would be great, thank you.

Hi @GeorginaOwen that's a great idea! Can we (ACTAsia) use this comment as a testimonial for use in our promotion and marketing of this course? We need your permission to use it and it would be anonymous. Absolutely fine if not - if you could let me know either way that would be great, thank you.

Thank you Martha for your commitment to continue the course, it is difficult and sad to learn about suffering, but we created it and we have the power to change it to make a more positive future.
-
@CorrieHingston that's definitely one method - unannounced audits and checks.

Hi Darius, sorry that the reference link has been changed by CE Delft. I have now updated the file to include the new link. Thanks for your patience, and enjoy reading! :)

Thank YOU for taking part Georgina, we so appreciate your commitment to learning!
-
Hi Georgina! What other animals do you think will be used for the fur trade, and do you have any statistics on that? Would be great to hear your reasoning behind your statement :) thank you

Great engagement everyone! Yes, it's no good just closing down this industry and leaving the fur farmers out of work - they need re-training and re-skilling to work in a different industry and be able to support themselves and their families, which the government or charities could definitely help with. Great to see Lara's point that brands/ fashion companies...

Great to see our learners thinking about law, labour unions and governmental responsibility in response to the question "Discuss ways to eradicate poor working conditions". There are lots of ways to go about it, some will be more effective than others, and this might change depending on the cultural context. Looking forward to hearing other learners' ideas!...

Hi Alicia, thanks for your insightful comments. Yes, companies in high-income countries that outsource their labour to lower-income countries can't always ensure true transparency in their inspections as they are not there full-time, but the local and national inspectors have the ability to experience and disclose the true working environment for garment...

hi May, not to worry, we appreciate that your country is going through an extremely difficult time at the moment and thank you for sharing your experiences. We hope that peace and order can be restored as soon as possible.
-
hi Vicente, thanks for sharing information on leather production, it is also a very environmentally damaging industry. Feel free to share anything on the fur industry specifically here too, I'm sure we'd all love to learn!
-
Hi May, thanks for sharing your ideas of what governments could do to help end fur-farming. Advocating for fur-free is advocating for the wellbeing and sustainability of animals. In week 3 we will explore this in more detail, looking forward to hearing your thoughts then!
-
Hi Vicente, great to hear your thoughts. There are indeed many alternatives to animal fur which we will learn about this week!
-
Absolutely Diana, the difference between nomadic hunter-gatherers over the past 10,000 years and the current industrialised fashion system is very large. Why do you think that people still use fur when we don't need it anymore? Other learners are welcome to answer this question too!
-
Hi May that's great to hear, we have plenty of amazing content in the next few weeks so we hope you enjoy learning about how fur farming impacts the environment, humans and animals.
-
Hi Georgina, we are pleased that you feel the peer review guidance and assignments have been helpful for you in your journey to university, and we are delighted you are keen to take part in the rest of the course!
-
Hi Wei, that sounds like true local and sustainable fashion, great to hear! Hope it continues to go well for you.
-
Welcome Yan! Feel free to write in Chinese. We also hope that animals and humans can live healthy lives, by ending the fur farming industry. Let's keep working towards that! 欢迎来到这门课程！欢迎写中文的评论。我们也希望通过关闭皮草产业，动物及人类可以享有安乐长寿。我们继续努力实现零皮草时尚吧！
-
Hi Quel, that's super interesting to hear that monoculture crops might not be a sustainable plant-based material option, and to hear about your upbringing in Brazil. Absolutely, fast fashion and also fur in fashion are damaging industries to humans, animals and the environment. We hope that this course can help your company be aware of future sustainable &...

Hi May, weeks 3 and 4 will be perfect for your studies in human and animal wellbeing. Great to have you here!
-
Hi Evelyn, great question! According to the UN's Special Report on climate tipping points from 2018, we have just under 10 years to avoid catastrophic and irreversible climate change. We need to globally greatly reduce emissions by 2030 if we are to prevent the interconnected environmental impacts that come from going over 1.5 degrees of climate warming from...

Hi Wei, these are some great reflections on how fur has evolved in its usage alongside our technological & societal advancement. Have you thought about how industrialisation might have played a role in fur evolving from a by-product to a key consumer product? Other learners are welcome to answer this too.
