【推荐2】Fast fashion is clothing's equivalent (等同物)to fast food - cheaply made, with low-cost materials, that are not built to last.     1     However, the popular styles and low prices make us want to consume more, so we fill our closets with too many of those items which may end up in the trash before long. It's clear we need to rethink how we shop and dress. So what should we do?

Spend more to buy less. Consider setting a minimum price for the clothing you buy, in order to value it more. You'll save up, think long and hard before buying, and then be more likely to wear it for longer.     2    

Shop secondhand. The resale market is developing fast and it has much to offer. The item already exists, and you're doing good by buying it, especially if you wear it for years.     3     Secondhand stores are where you can pick up items like leather jackets, boots and cashmere sweaters.

    4     Read the care labels, hand wash when necessary, hang dry most of the time, wash less (“airing out” as needed), learn basic repairs, deal with stains as soon as they appear.

Consider the end. Donate your clothes, sell them on an online marketplace, organize a swap with friends, or turn old outfits into cleaning rags.     5     The businesses or charities receiving them are better positioned than you may be to sort, fix, and recycle as needed.

A.Take care of your clothes.
B.Like fast food, it's unhealthy all around.
C.Deal with the fast-fashion problem properly.
D.It's OK to give away less-than-perfect clothes.
E.There are many wonderful companies producing good and durable clothing.
F.You're extending the lifespan of clothing that would otherwise have been thrown away.
G.If you're an eager shopper, try skipping a week just to slow your consumption somewhat.
