Major clothing companies that many of us wear everyday are destroying the Amazon Rainforest as we speak. While many of these companies make broken promises to do better when it comes to our environment, they continue to increase their contribution to the destruction of the rainforest.

This claim should not be considered undoubtedly true. Fast Company is a business magazine that leans left, so its reporting is inherently biased toward left-leaning issues such as climate change. Additionally, the sources used in the article are not well-established institutions. One of the hyper-links leads to a google slideshow while another leads to a website that doesn't even exist. Take this entire article with a grain of salt.

Be respectful.

There is bound to be disagreement on a site about misinformation. Assume best intentions on everyone's part.

If you are new to factchecking, take some time to learn about it. "How to Factcheck" has some resources for getting started. Even if you disagree with these materials, they'll help you understand the language of this community better.

News Detective is for uncovering misinformation and rumors. This is not a general interest question-answer site for things someone could Google.

Posting

The title is the "main claim" that you're trying to factcheck.

Example:
Factcheck This: Birds don't exist

If possible, LINK TO to the place you saw the claim.

Answering

LINK TO YOUR EVIDENCE or otherwise explain the source ("I called this person, I found it in this book, etc.")

But don't just drop a link. Give an explanation, copy and paste the relevant information, etc.
