Wonderful World
Fog
In order for fog to form, plenty of water vapour is needed. This water vapour can come from the evaporation of ocean or lake water, whereas some comes from the *transpiration in land and plants.

Fog generally appears translucent and fuzzy white. Fog can affect visibility, resulting in various conditions such as slow driving and traffic congestion. It can have a great impact on traffic and transportation.
Fog can block sunlight, reduce photosynthesis in plants and affect crop growth. Fog moisture can cause ripe fruits and vegetables to rot, thus bringing economic losses to the agricultural industry.
Do Not
Throw Away Old Clothes
Oh no!
You kids have too many clothes. Let’s sort them out. The wardrobe can’t hold any
more clothes. Kids, sort out the clothes that you don’t wear.
When sorted... Are we going to throw away these old clothes?
We can take them to our community auditorium to donate them.
Many people have come to donate their clothes.
Donating old clothes is a way to recycle and reuse our clothes. The clean donated clothes will be given to people in need.
Clothes that cannot be used will be processed into products such as dishcloths and industrial fabrics. What a fabulous idea.
Now I Know! Now I Know!
Old clothes are recyclable. Many countries, such as America, China and Australia have recycling bins in their communities to make it easy for people to donate their old clothes.
Throwing old clothes into the dustbin means they will be burned or buried, and this can pollute the air and soil. Recycling old clothes reduces the amount of rubbish and reduces carbon dioxide and pollutant emissions.
That night… Recycling old clothes helps protect the environment.
From now on, we’ll recycle our old clothes. We won’t throw them away.
Sorry, I accidentally recycled your pyjamas.
Where are my Boo,
dinosaur pyjamas? hoo…
Now I Know! Now I Know!
Clothes can be made of synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon. These materials do not degrade easily, therefore, they are not friendly to the environment. Recycling old clothes can save resources and reduce environmental pollution.
How To Deal With Recycled Clothes
Recycled clothes that are not suitable for donation can be processed into items such as carpets and gloves. They can also be used to make floor mats and curtains for cars.
Old textiles, like pure cotton or pure wool, can be re-spun and made into recycled textiles such as threads, cloths and clothing.
Recycled clothes in good condition can be processed, revamped and resold. They can also be made into products such as bags, tablecloths and quilts by cutting and resewing them.
