*UHHQ 7DON Zoe from Richmond in the UK has got a
lot of old clothes and she doesn’t want
them any more.
Z I’m so bored with my old T-shirts and
jeans! I really, really hate them! I’m
going to throw half of them away!
I Now calm down, Zoe. That’s a terrible idea.
This week’s green problem
Did you know that in the UK people throw
away 900,000 tonnes of clothes every year!
The chemicals in the clothes pollute the
environment. You should reuse old clothes
or recycle them.
Z How can I do that?
I You should organise a swap shop.
Z What’s a swap shop?
I It’s a party! First find all your old clothes. Then
phone your friends and invite them to your
house. Ask them to bring all their old clothes
with them because you are going to swap
clothes. It’s easy, fun and free – and it recycles
the clothes. You can all get a new ‘look’ and
save money! You should have swap shops
and recycle other things too – computer
games, DVDs or magazines, for example.
Z That’s a great idea – and a green idea!
I Correct. So, Zoe, are you going to throw
old things away?
Z No, I’m not. From now on, I’m going
to have swap shops and I’m going to
protect the planet!
