Question

【題目】 Out with the old, in with the new (舊的不去，新的不來). It's time to buy some new, fashionable clothes for the winter. But what do you do with your old clothes?

In the past, clothes were passed down to younger brothers or sisters. But now most of us are only children. The economy has developed and people are buying more clothes.

Every year in China, people throw away about 26 million tons of old clothes, according to the China Association of Resource Comprehensive Utilization (中國(guó)資源綜合利用協(xié)會(huì)). Most of them are buried (填埋) or burned (焚燒) as waste. It's a huge waste of energy.

"In many countries, charity shops collect and resell second-hand clothes," Zhao Guoliang, a professor at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, told Beijing Morning Post. "It's the best solution to this problem."

In some countries, it can be fashionable to shop for used clothes at charity shops like Oxfam. British singer Victoria Beckham has said she buys from Oxfam. "It's amazing to see what people throw out and it's good to help such a great place," she told Heat magazine.
