5 Read the text. Then match A to B. From Old to New ‘Shopping for clothes is easy today. They're often cheap, so people sometimes wear clothing items once or twice. Then they throw them in the rubbish and buy something new. Every year in Britain, people throw about 1.5 million tons of clothes in the rubbish! Britain recently started projects to recycle clothes. Some shops collect clothes for recycling, and schools are also helping. In the city of Bournemouth, there's a competition for schools called Rags to Riches. To win the competition, students bring old shirts, dresses, trousers, shoes and other textiles to their school. In 2012, schools got £250 for every ton of textiles and the winning school got £1,000. Twelve schools entered the competition. At the end of the year, there were over ten tons of clothing and. textiles for recycling. A recycling company made new things from some of the items, but about 90% of the textiles went to other countries for people to use again. pi tlle. A 1. In the rubbish in Britain, you can find 2.
