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 fashiona­ble. 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?

(  ) 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?
