Going shopping with your parents for a coat or a pair of shoes can be great fun. 1. G What people might not realize is that the fashion industry, particularly "fast fashion", is harmful to the planet.
Fast fashion means "cheap clothes" that are quickly produced by large companies to follow the latest trends(风尚). Styles and trends change all the time and lots of people like to buy clothes that are in fashion right now. It could be something they've seen on a famous person or even a friend, like a cool new style of T-shirt or hat. The aim of fast fashion is to get these new styles into shops as fast as possible so customers can buy them.
The fashion industry is responsible for between 8 and 10 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions(排放). 2. A To keep prices low, fashion companies often use polyester, a kind of plastic. It cannot be broken down naturally. So it causes damage to the environment, like wood or food. It's not just regular clothes; most football shirts, which fans are often encouraged to buy every season, are also made from polyester.
The clothes have to be sent to the countries where they're going to be sold, which produces even more polluting emissions. 3. C They often go out of style quite quickly. Some people throw their clothes away when they don't want them any more. Each year, the UK sends around 300,000 tonnes of clothes to landfills(废物填埋场).
Companies often pay people in other countries to make their clothes, and some don't pay their workers very much. People then have to work longer hours to make enough money to live on. Some countries have fewer rules than the UK, which means that factories aren't always well looked after and checked for safety. That could mean workers have to make clothes in dangerous or unhealthy conditions.
4. D Charities have paid experts to make a survey of the environmental and social costs of clothing. This information has encouraged people to speak out and ask companies to change. Some clothing brands are helping customers to recycle their clothes in exchange for vouchers(代金券). Every year since 2019, the charity Oxfam has held Second Hand September, asking people to buy only second-hand clothes in that month. Some countries have made rules to encourage companies to make clothes that last longer. As for you, you can raise understanding of the problem among your family and friends. 5. E
