In Hong Kong, there is a clothes shop called Green Ladies. What makes it special is that there are only second-hand clothes in it.
Wendy is the manager of Green Ladies. "Hong Kong is a great place for shopping and the new clothes are not very expensive. Many women like buying clothes and they wear different clothes every day of a week. Some of them often throw away(丢弃) some clothes because they don't like them any more. Some of the clothes are even new. I think it's a waste to do that," she says. "How about sending these clothes to Green Ladies? Others can buy these second-hand clothes and you can get some money."
When people take their clothes to Green Ladies, the shop workers will check the clothes to make sure they're right for sale first. After someone buys the clothes, the shop will give the owner(主人) 30% of the money.
People can see reminders(提示) like " Try before you buy" and "Do you have the same clothes at home?" in Green Ladies. When the customers see them, they will think carefully before they buy the clothes. By doing so, Green Ladies hopes to change people's habits of shopping too much.
