TASK 35 -THE SHOPPING REVOLUTION 

Your Turkish Friend

Türkiye'de Halı Dokuma

Many people don't know what to do with their old clothes. Some give them to charity, others get them repaired — but what about clothes that can't be repaired?

These clothes usually end up in the garbage. A 2017 report estimated that 83 million metric tons of clothes and shoes were thrown away in 2015, and this could increase to over 130 million metric tons by 2030.

Clothes are difficult to recycle because they're often made up of different components. Even a T-shirt that's 100% cotton may still have labels and threads made from other materials like polyester.

Separating those materials isn't easy, making any piece of clothing difficult to recycle.

But researchers at the University of Delaware believe they've found a new way to recycle blended fabrics, and it only takes 15 minutes.

They developed a process using chemicals and microwaves to break down polyester and spandex while leaving cotton and nylon intact. The nylon is then dissolved off the cotton using a simple solvent.

The broken down and dissolved components are then collected, and can be used to make polyester, spandex and nylon again. And while the remaining cotton isn't high quality, the researchers say it could be mixed with new cotton to make stronger recycled yarn, for example.

Erha Andini, who led the study, told The Washington Post that clothes companies aren't always clear about what's in their clothes. But a process like this can be used even if you don't know what your clothing is made from.

However, the researchers say it could be some time before their process is used on a large scale.

And Tasha Lewis from Ohio State University — who wasn't part of the research — told The Washington Post that while processes like this are good, they should be used as a last resort.

She said it's cheaper and simpler to just buy used clothes. She added that companies should also make clothes that last longer, and make them out of one type of fabric so they're easier to recycle.

US Researchers Find New Way to Recycle Clothes

En un entorn molt llunyà, més concretament a la selva, diversos animals convivien feliçment en un entorn salvatge. Però allà també hi vivia un lleó molt golafre, el rei de la selva, que acostumava a menjar-se entre 3 i 4 animals cada dia. Un dia, farts de viure espantats, tots els animals de la selva van organitzar una revolta i van anar a buscar el lleó.
– Accepto que soc una mica golafre, però necessito menjar animals per poder mantenir-me viu i fort. – Va dir el lleó.
Els animals semblaven entendre el que deia, però no podien permetre perdre tants amics cada dia. Finalment, van proposar un pacte que deia que el lleó només es menjaria un animal al dia. El lleó va remugar una mica, però finalment el va acceptar. La promesa no va durar gaires dies i, en un atac de golafreria, el lleó (que ja s’havia menjat un estruç aquell dia) va voler menjar-se un petit conill que passejava camí cap al seu cau. El conill havia vist un pou ple d’aigua uns quants metres enrere i com que era molt presumit s’havia estat mirant al reflex de l’aigua durant una bona estona. Però a part de presumit també era molt valent i va dir al lleó que coneixia un altre lleó que anava dient per la selva que era més poderós. Com podeu comprendre, al rei de la selva no li van agradar gens aquestes paraules, i va demanar al conill que el portés cap on estava aquest lleó.
Van anar caminant i el conill va demanar al lleó que s’aturés davant del pou. Assenyalant el reflex de l’aigua del pou amb el dit, li va dir:
-Mira'l, és aquí.
