Ⅲ. 阅读下列短文,根据短文内容按要求完成下列任务。
Dear editor,
Fashion is the second most polluting industry. People just keep on buying new clothes and throwing them away or giving them away to charity shops after they are worn only a few times.
I don't think people know how much clothing pollution is destroying our planet. I know I can't request people to think in the same way as I do, but it is important for people to know the fact. I decide to write the letter because I hope more people around my age will read it and together we can make an effort.
Sadly, the beaches of an African country—Ghana, are badly polluted now. The beaches are covered with clothing waste. Every week, millions of clothes from all over the world are sent to secondhand clothing markets. But about 40% of them leave the markets as waste. However, the city is near the sea, so there's not enough space for landfills. This is why a lot of clothing waste ends up on the beach.
The Citarum River in Indonesia provides water for millions of people. Lots of people use it for almost everything, including drinking water, as it is the only water they can use. However, there are many clothing factories pouring their waste into it. This greatly does harm to the people who depend on the river.
As well as this, the water in the Aral Sea was used to grow cotton for years. Now the sea has almost disappeared. It takes 2,700 liters of water to grow enough cotton to make one T-shirt. To satisfy our hope for more new clothes, we are polluting their water and people are getting sick. This is not right. Without your help, my voice can't be heard. Please bring it to more people's attention.
