The Fight against Fast Furniture
Fast furniture is a term that refers to furniture that is produced cheaply and quickly. These items are often bad for the environment because they are made from materials that break easily and need to be replaced often.
To help protect the environment, a movement to move away from fast furniture has begun. Many companies are joining the fight by finding cleaner ways to manufacture furniture. For example, IKEA has agreed to switch to using renewable or recycled materials for their furniture by the year 2030.
There is also a push to encourage shoppers to buy more used furniture for their homes. Small businesses that help transform old chairs and sofas into completely new products have even popped up recently. At the end of the day, consumers will play the most important role in the fight to end fast furniture. Shoppers should try to think more about the long term when preparing to purchase new furniture. They should stay away from furniture that is made from cheap materials like fiberboard or plastic because they will often fall apart after a few years.
A much better alternative is furniture made from real wood because it won’t break as easily. If wood furniture is damaged, it can often be repaired to last longer. High-quality metals are another good material, as they are durable. If the furniture is no longer fit for use, these metals can still be recycled and used to make new products.
| A．It has also designed a special program that lets people return used furniture pieces to its stores so they can be fixed and used again by consumers. |
| B．This would help to reduce overall waste, as it would extend the life cycle of old furniture items. |
| C．Although these items may cost less initially, they are more expensive because they will need to be replaced sooner than traditional pieces of furniture. |
| D．This creates a lot of pollution, as the furniture ends up buried in landfills where it can harm the soil. |
| E．Homeowners are looking for furniture that is kinder to the environment. |
| F．By choosing furniture that’s made to last, we can help reduce waste and protect the environment. |
