Baby diapers, which used to be made of reusable cloth, are now paper throw-aways. Soon we will wear clothing made of 【B14】______:"Wear it once and throw it away" will be the slogan of the fashionable-consciousness.
Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a gigantic dump, or is there hope that we can solve the pollution problem?【B15】______, solutions are in sight. A few of them are positively ingenious.
