Today, we buy more clothing than we did 20 years ago. Waste     1     (cause) by fast fashion has become a serious problem. That's a lot of waste if you take into     2     (consider) the fact that a lot of water     3    (use) to produce one T-shirt. What can you do about that? Use the principle“less is more”.

Fast fashion clothing is designed to fall apart fast,     4     means that you'll need more soon. In the long run, it's     5     (cheap) to buy fewer clothes of higher quality. Besides, more and more stores have recycling programs,     6     (make) it easy to get rid of unwanted items responsibly.

Businesses can be environmental-friendly, too. For example, an online clothing store promises     7    (contribute) 5% of its income to     8     organization which protects elephants in Africa.     9     (actual), shopping in such similar businesses is certainly an     10     (amaze) way to be in harmony with nature. It creates a win-win situation where you can buy things you love, and at the same time, the environment has been improved because of your effort.
