To do this, the Plastic Bank buy plastic waste at a high price so that they can encourage people to collect it. People can exchange plastic waste for money, items, or services. Plastic collected through the Bank is recycled and processed into new raw material feedstock, called Social Plastic, which can be purchased by manufacturers to produce more environmentally and socially ethical products. In this way, new opportunities are created for the world’s most disadvantaged communities and recycling becomes dignified work.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday promote mindless consumption, excessive packaging and shipping

<b>waste, especially with the rise of online shopping. The sales produce massive waste not just from the</b>

unwanted single-use plastic and cardboard packaging, but also from the return of unwanted items. This mindset also ensures that the earth overshoot day keeps moving back.

This is especially true of the clothing industry, where much of the online returns are tossed into the landfill because the logistics and cost of putting the item back on the shelf

are much too complicated. Britons throw away approximately 300,000 tonnes of clothes every year and many of them are only worn a handful of times.

The negative impact of Black Friday is also significant from non-recyclable, mostly plastic toys, to e-waste, to fast fashion that is only used for one season. In fact, in France, the government is

<b>considering banning Black Friday due to the impact on the planet and the promotion of unsustainable</b>

<b>II. Read and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).</b>

Some speciality shops are now in danger of disappearing. Here are some examples.

<b>The butchershop</b>

Butcher shops sell all kinds of meat. They usually employ people who are trained in the meat industry. They know how to cut the meat the right way, and they often advise customers on the different types of meat.

However, it is hard nowadays to find a traditional butcher shop. More people are buying meat from large supermarkets because it is more convenient, and the price is lower.

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 40</span><div class="page_container" data-page="40">

<b>The bookshop</b>

Bookshops are becoming quite rare these days. Years ago, it was easy to find bookshops in any town or city. Then, larger bookshop chains gradually took over and the smaller shops died out. Two examples of large bookshop chains are Waterstones in the UK and the Barnes & Noble in the USA. But now, even the large bookshop chains are facing difficulty because more people are buying books from Amazon as well as digital books.

<b>1. People working in a butcher shop are quite professional.</b>

<b>III. Read the passage and write the short answers to the following questions.Thrift Stores</b>

You can find a thrift store, or thrift shop, or charity shop throughout cities in many countries. These shops mainly sell used goods, such as clothing, books, music albums, shoes, DVDs, toys, and furniture. Most of the goods are donations from the public, so they are very cheap. Shopping at thrift stores is traditionally an economical way to buy clothes and basic necessities for low-income families and individuals. Today thrift store shopping has become a fun and exciting way for many people to find rare and expensive goods at a low price.

The purpose of thrift stores is to raise money for charities. The money you spend at a thrift shop usually benefits a church, school, or community group. They help support charitable purposes like helping homeless people, supporting a cancer association, or job training and placement programs for people with disabilities and the disadvantaged. Shopping at thrift shops is a great way to save money while supporting a good cause.
