     Fashion isn't very environmentally-friendly because it makes people buy things they don't need, just
because they're new. We want to take care of the environment, we don't want to pollute the air and we
don't want to waste energy and resources. But we also want to be fashiona-ble. How can we buy fashionable
clothes and protect the environment?
     Old styles are fashionable again, so one way is to buy second-hand clothes - recycled clothes. Another
way is to buy fair trade clothes. These clothes are either recycled or made in a way that protects the
environment. They also protect the people who make the clothes.
     Surprisingly, white cotton is one of the least environmentally-friendly crops of all. To protect the cotton,
the growers use chemicals that pollute water, make farm workers ill and kill wildlife. New materials, such as
hemp and bamboo, grow quickly and are more environmentally-friendly. These materials are very soft, and
look fantastic. The best materials are coloured using natural dyes, made from plants.
     Environmentally-friendly clothes are practical but until now they were often dull. Now fashion-designers
are working with these materials and the clothes are beautiful as well. So now we can buy fashionable clothes
that are also environmentally-friendly.
1. Why do people often buy things they don't need? Because ________.
A. new things can be more comfortable
B. everyone wants to be fashionable
C. people are richer than before now
D. people care about the environment
2. What's the topic for paragraph 2?
A. Recycled fashion.
B. The problem with fashion.
C. Fashion doesn't have to pollute.
D. New materials.
3. Which of the following is more environmentally-friendly?
A. Materials soft and looking fantastic.
B. Any materials coloured using natural dyes.
C. Hemp and bamboo.
D. White cotton.
4. Why are environmentally-friendly clothes more fashionable now? Because ________.
A. people pay more attention to our environment
B. environmentally-friendly clothes are practical
C. all old styles become fashionable again
D. fashion-designers are working to make them beautiful
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Cotton or Hemp and Bamboo?
B. Environmentally-friendly Clothes
C. Old Style, New Fashion Again
D. Fashion and the Environment
