24.8The Lifecycleofa T-shirtWe allprobably havea lot of T-shirts,but doyou everstop andthink abouttheinfluence ofaT-shirt onthe planetYoud probablybe surprisedto learnwhafs involvedinthe lifecycleof justone T-shirt.There are5major stages:material,production,shipping,use anddisposal.The materialstageinvolves farming,irrigating,fertilizing,harvesting andginning*While cotton is anaturalfiber andnot asharmful tothe environmentas manmadefibers,it stilltakes atoll inthematerial andproduction stages.Commercial cotton farming usesa large amount ofwater,（杀虫剂）andtheuse ofpesticides iswidespread acrossthe globe,especially incotton farming.Studies haveshown thatfarmers spendaround$

4.1billion onpesticides annually,of which25%was spenton cottoncrops inthe US.Once thecottonisgrown andharvested,so beginsthe productionstage:spinning,knitting,bleaching,dyeing,cutting,sewing,etc.--------------------these processesalso usea greatdealof waterand energy.Commercial dyesand bleachesare harmfulpollutants andcaneventually pollutegroundwater.After theT-shirt isproduced,it entersthe transportationstage.This ofteninvolvesoverseas shipping.Take alook inyour closet.Chances arethat mostof yourcotton garments（衣月艮）are madein Chinaor India.Garments canbe shippedvia plane,ship ortruck...,all ofwhich spillCO2into theatmosphere.Calculations showthat CO2emissions fromlighttrucks aloneamount to

1.15pounds permile.Once theT-shirt reachesthe retailmarket,it ispurchased.This stagemay seemlike theleastenvironmentallydamaging part.But considerthe numberof timesyouve washedanddried yourfavorite T-shirt.Washing machinesare certainlybecoming moreefficient.However,theaverageAmerican householddoes400loads oflaundry peryear,using about40gallons ofwater perload.Such excessivewater useis combinedwiththelargeamountofenergy usedby dryers.The flnalstage oflife isdisposal.This releasesharmful emissions,or involvesa landfillwherecotton takesyears to break down.Current USrecords showthat anestimated15%ofclothes andshoes arerecycled,which meansthat consumerssend ashocking85%of thesematerialsto landfills.We allneed newclothes everyonce ina while,but letsall tryto keepin mindwhat goesintothe productionof clothing...It hasa realimpact onthe planet.There arealotof thingsyou cando tohelp reduceyour impactReuse andrecycle clothes.If theyretoo wornout towear,cut themupanduse themas cleaningrags.Donate themtocharity oranother organizationthat recyclestextiles.When possible,make aneffort tobuyorganic cotton.Turn downthe thermostaton yourwasher,and linedry yourclothes whentheweather willallow it.、1What canbe inferredfrom thispassageA.The productionprocess mayaffect watersafety.B.The clothingcost isrelatively lowin Chinaand India.C.Cotton clothesare buriedbecause they are hardtobreakdown.D.The usestage isthe leastenvironmentally harmfulofthe five stages.
