SWE25 Vegan vs. Vegetarian ?

Many people don't know what to do with their old clothes. Some give them to charity, others get them repaired — but what about clothes that can't be repaired?

These clothes usually end up in the garbage. A 2017 report estimated that 83 million metric tons of clothes and shoes were thrown away in 2015, and this could increase to over 130 million metric tons by 2030.

Clothes are difficult to recycle because they're often made up of different components. Even a T-shirt that's 100% cotton may still have labels and threads made from other materials like polyester.

Separating those materials isn't easy, making any piece of clothing difficult to recycle.

But researchers at the University of Delaware believe they've found a new way to recycle blended fabrics, and it only takes 15 minutes.

They developed a process using chemicals and microwaves to break down polyester and spandex while leaving cotton and nylon intact. The nylon is then dissolved off the cotton using a simple solvent.

The broken down and dissolved components are then collected, and can be used to make polyester, spandex and nylon again. And while the remaining cotton isn't high quality, the researchers say it could be mixed with new cotton to make stronger recycled yarn, for example.

Erha Andini, who led the study, told The Washington Post that clothes companies aren't always clear about what's in their clothes. But a process like this can be used even if you don't know what your clothing is made from.

However, the researchers say it could be some time before their process is used on a large scale.

And Tasha Lewis from Ohio State University — who wasn't part of the research — told The Washington Post that while processes like this are good, they should be used as a last resort.

She said it's cheaper and simpler to just buy used clothes. She added that companies should also make clothes that last longer, and make them out of one type of fabric so they're easier to recycle.

Britannica Word of The Day (1)

4-Year-Old Signs Book Deal to Publish Poems
A 4-year-old boy from the UK has signed a book deal to publish his collection of poems.

Nadim Shamma-Sourgen was discovered by poet and teacher Kate Clanchy, who won the 2020 Orwell Prize for political writing. Clanchy knew Shamma-Sourgen's mother, who teaches the study of poetry at the University of Reading.

Clanchy began sharing Shamma-Sourgen's poems on Twitter, where they became popular with her followers. Speaking to The Guardian, Clanchy said that she didn't share them because they were like an adult's poems, but because they were so much like a child's way of thinking.

The young poet has now signed a book deal with Walker Books, a children's book company, making him one of the youngest writers to get a book deal.

According to Guinness World Records, Dorothy Straight from the US is the youngest female to publish a book. She wrote a book in 1962 when she was 4 years old. It was published in 1964.

The youngest male writer is Thanuwana Serasinghe from Sri Lanka, who wrote a book when he was 4 years and 9 months old. It was published nine days before his 5th birthday.

In an interview with Sky News, Shamma-Sourgen's mother said that he's still learning to read and write, so he speaks his poems out loud and she writes them down for him.

"I like writing poems especially about nature. I feel happy that my poems will be in a book," Shamma-Sourgen told The Guardian. As well as nature, Shamma-Sourgen's poems talk about things like love, being lonely and bugs in his garden.

The book of poems will be published in summer 2021.
