I Made These Ironic Black Friday Ads To Make You Think Twice Before You Buy (6 Pics)
My name is Igor Dobrowolski and I designed some ads for this amazing Black Friday.
Fast fashion is a term used to describe quickly moving and changing fashion trends. They not only change quickly but quickly end up in the trash, creating tons of waste and polluting our planet.

Ah yes! Black Friday is that day on which people are willing to trample over each other to get a bargain on material goods after giving thanks on the previous day for all they already had.

the juxtaposition between the products and the landfills isn't very clear. Are you implying that more natural materials won't add to landfills, or consumerism leads to more waste?

Never throw used clothes in the garbage. Give to other people directly or to charity. Buy second hand. As a general rule, you know what you are buying when a garment has been pre-owned as it will not shrink, twist, or bleed most of its' colour in the first wash. Those are a lot of birds with one stone, so to say.

That was a pointless post. The idea is sound enough; the execution missed an opportunity.

I would have liked more explanation for the landfill photos. I've been researching sustainable clothing lately, and my guess is that these items supposedly just end up in landfills decomposing like a person in a Sarlacc's stomach for 1000 years, but I'd need to know the composition of the clothing. Rayon and Polyester are the worst, as far as the planet goes. Polyester blends are bad because even though 100% polyester can be recycled, blends can't be. Conventionally grown cotton isn't far behind rayon and polyester, and even bamboo isn't a good choice because of the chemicals used in creating the fabric. Silk and wool use up tons of resources. Organically grown cotton is much better than conventionally grown, but still not the best. I have read that Tencel is the best fabric for the planet -- but it's limited in its uses. I've not seen a sweater or any kind of warm fabric made with Tencel. So I think the best choices for new clothes are Tencel, organic cotton, recycled polyester.

@Corey Smith: For your sake, I am glad that you are safe, well, and without a worry about where you are going to sleep tonight. Besides the fact that your comment is totally beside the point, the post is emphasizing a real problem, I would like to point out that Empathy is a beautiful word. So maybe you have seen similar photos at "illegal border crossings". Maybe from close to a homeless camp. Maybe from Greece. Imagine yourself having survived the perilous boat crossing to Greece. You are soaked to the bone and there is nowhere to wash clothes, nor to dry them. What to do?

Black Friday is pointless. People spend millions of dollars on things that are only used one week out of 52.
