Green fashion is about making(and wearing)clothes that are good for humans,animals,and the Earth.In the past,green fashion made people think of hippies(嬉皮士)and ugly clothes.But today,green fashion is different.It is about looking good and caring about the Earth and other people.You can have interesting clothes and be green.
Around the world,green fashion is becoming popular.For example,the U.K.company
People Tree sells men’s and women’s clothing and accessories(饰品).They are made from
natural fabrics(织物)like cotton and wool.Workers who make the clothes are from countries like Nepal,Kenya,and Bangladesh.People Tree pays the men and women good money for the clothes they create.
