每日口說挑戰化腐朽為神奇！廢棄衣物垃圾變黃金 (Recycling fashion: The town turning waste into clothes- BBC News)

☺There are hundreds of companies in this small district, and each specializes in one specific aspect of the process, whether it's spinning, weaving or designing.
這個小區域裡就有上百家公司，每家公司都專精於整個加工製程中的其中一項程序，有做紡紗的、有做織布的、也有做設計的。

【心得】我還沒辦法減少買塑膠裝的食物，但衣服我倒是可以減少購買，去年一整年都沒買，希望今年可以盡量也不買，因為現有的衣服很夠穿了，還有就是要想辦法把一些不穿的衣服送回收(去年已經清掉一些了，但還是有些明明也沒在穿，但還是捨棄不掉:p)

【Fun Song一下】謝金燕-你好酷(腦中突然閃過一句已經幾百年沒唱也沒在聽的歌詞和旋律，於是就去找來翻唱一下，我猜應該很多人都沒聽過吧?!我自己也是google之後，才發現原來這首歌的原唱是謝金燕:p)

Introduction
G’day VoiceTubers! I hope today’s been going great for you so far.

If you’re planning to go out today, you’re bound to go to your wardrobe for a set of clothes. And for most of us, it takes some time to decide between the multiple articles of apparel we have in store. Oh, should we do the dress today? Or the button-down shirt to go with that new pair of jeans we got last week? But why is our wardrobe so chock-full of clothes? Do we really need all this? How did we get here?

Fast fashion may be the root of our problems when it comes to waste. There’s always a new coat, hat, shoes, trend, and it never ends. As a result, we consume a whole lot of more than we need, leading to waste; damaging the environment as we drain the world of its resources.

But the good news is there are people trying to solve this issue. Today’s video takes place in Prato, Italy, and shows how the town works to recycle our clothes, here’s a quick look at its workings and our sentence of the day:

Outro
And we’re nearing the end of today’s episode!

What do you do to cut down waste? Let me know in the comments! Personally, I love the concept of minimalism, which is a lifestyle all about living with less and living intentionally. Every choice you make - the things you buy, the things you keep, and the things you throw away - are all decisions carefully made. A lot of decluttering videos are centered around this idea, if you’ve come across one before. I always find them pretty satisfying to watch.

Last but not least, don’t forget to leave your recordings and I’ll see you again next time!

Chào buổi sáng mọi người.
