Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashio
22、n. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace cl

39、 dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution(重新分配 )are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is also an environmental cost to be considered.
