Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35. 

In the era of climate change, Gen Z constantly joins hands in green activities and campaigns with the desire to make their environment a better place. To these young people, a green lifestyle is not a complicated or sophisticated concept; it can be started from daily activities.

Choosing refill stations

Being aware of the harmful effects that plastic waste has on the environment, Gen Z proactively opts for materials that can be recycled and reused for multiple times. Refill stations, stores that reuse packaging, are considered as familiar destinations for more and more young people. These stores do not provide prepackaged products; instead, customers need to bring their own bags, cups or any personal items to be able to carry these products.

Choosing basic fashion, never afraid to go out of style

Each year, tons of clothing wastes are released into the environment. This type of waste when decomposing has generated greenhouse gases, which can poison our groundwater and soil. Generation Z joins hands to reduce the harmful effects of the fashion industry by carefully choosing sustainable fashion brands, prioritizing quality instead of quantity, even exchanging or donating clothes.

Choosing eco-friendly beauty products

In the context of rapidly increasing pollution, cosmetic consumers worldwide, particularly Generation Z, have become more conscious in choosing and using cosmetics so that it causes as little harm to the environment as possible. Young people exhibit preference to organic products that do not contain chemicals, do not pollute water sources, and do not affect the ecosystem.
