Hello, dear Friends!

Voici notre première édition de RYB de vacances ! Il est allégé, dans la mesure où, je pense, il vous demandera moins de temps à réaliser (à écrire et rédiger ... ) mais pas vraiment moins si, en travailleurs extrêmement sérieux, vous cherchez la plupart des éléments inconnus ou étonnants ...
Vous pouvez aussi décider de faire ces exercices "à l'économie" (en cherchant un minimum et en n'utilisant que vos connaissances déjà acquises ... ( l'objectif est différent, mais il n'est pas moins louable ...) Et puis, les vacances sont précieuses et le temps avec parents et/ ou amis l'est aussi ... Il faut aussi profiter des possibilités ... Ainsi, ceux qui veulent continuer le travail approfondi peuvent le faire, ceux qui ont moins de temps, n'ont cependant pas à renoncer (précisez-le moi cependant ...)
Cet exercice est un et sera corrigé le vendredi 26 juillet, tard.

I) Please, help my student! Ce texte contient 20 fautes à corriger ! (en majuscules !) (les fautes répétées ne comptent, bien sûr, qu’une fois … )
Why blue jeans are going green…
As consumers become ever more concerned for environmental and ethical issues, pioneers in the global denim industry are cleaning up its act. Blackhorse Lane Ateliers, which describes itself as a "craft jeans maker", has an open-door politics. Anybody can walk in, even without appointment ; through that they create « transparency ». (= a buzzword in fashion at late, with labels keen to show their best practice, both in terms of how well they treat staff and how environmentally friendly are they.)
By opening up its doors, this company is able to show potential customers that its factory is clean, the 20 employers are happy, and that the jeans are worth to keep - rather than to throw away at the end of each season.
Visitors to the workshop can even get a bite to eat, as it is home to a pop-up restaurant on weekends. More importantly, the company sources all its rolls of denim from mills in Japan, Italy and Turkey that have personally been visited to ensure their commitment to environmental and social responsibility. This is vital for any jeans company that wishes to be ethic, because the manufacture of denim can be heavily polluted.
Saitex International is one such business. Its factory now recycles 98% of water it uses. For the remaining 2% it has an evaporation system, making it a zero discharge facility.
Before setting up the factory in 2010 the Company started looking at sanitation, or inadequate sanitation, globally, and the lack of clean drink water. Morally it pushed them to start looking at water as a very valuable resource. It took the company just six years to earn the money it invested in the water recycling technology.
Some of the big name jeans firms are also working hard to reduce their environmental impact by using a foam instead of water ; the process also reduces energy use by 60.
Yet, what percentage shoppers are currently happy to pay the highest price tag that more ethically sourced jeans often carry? At Blackhorse Lane Ateliers, for example, their most expensive jeans cost £260.
When you ask consumers about what are their primary motivations for purchasing in apparel, then it's about price, about convenience, about range, and quality of product. Actually, sustainability - and ethical sourcing - doesn't necessarily sit within the three tops of what's important for consumers when thinking about purchasing for apparel good.
But the situation is changing, with rising demand for more ethical clothing being led by young people.
They've become a lot more concerned for the societal impact that they're having, weather that's on the environment, the economy, and other area as well.

hello, here I am with the first tranlation in french: for trusting me.

La plupart des habitants de ce dictrict d'Afrique commencent maintenant à prêter une certaine valeur aux bouteilles en plastique .Ils ne les considèrent plus comme des poubelles, et sont persuadés que ce système peut solutionner le problème. Les parents de cette école de Lagos payent les frais avec du plastique.
"Je me bats pour payer mes frais de scolarité ; quelques fois j'en paye la moitié et le restant plus tard .Depuis l'apparition de ce projet, le plastique m'a permis de payer les frais plus facilement, explique une maman; elle parle du Projet d'Education au Payment en Recyclant( PEPR) dont Lagos est le premier endroit où

Hello !
It’s been quite some time since I’ve worked on this. Admittedly, it’s not my favorite one.

Why blue jeans are going green…
As consumers become ever more concerned ABOUT (1) environmental and ethical issues, pioneers in the global denim industry are cleaning up THEIR (2) act. Blackhorse Lane Ateliers, which describes itself as a "craft jeans maker", has an open-door POLICY (3). Anybody can walk in, even without AN (4) appointment ; through that they create « transparency ». (= a buzzword in fashion OF (5) late, with labels keen to show their best practice, both in terms of how well they treat staff and how environmentally friendly THEY ARE (6).)
By opening up its doors, this company is able to show potential customers that its factory is clean, the 20 EMPLOYEES (7) are happy, and that the jeans are worth KEEPING (8) - rather than THROWING (9) away at the end of each season.
Visitors to the workshop can even get a bite to eat, as it is home to a pop-up restaurant on weekends (on weekends is AmE which is weird because according to WR, using ‘jeans’ as an adjective in the plural is BrE...). More importantly, the company sources all its rolls of denim from mills in Japan, Italy and Turkey that have personally been visited to ensure their commitment to environmental and social responsibility. This is vital for any jeans company that wishes to be ETHICAL (10), because the manufacture of denim can be heavily polluted.
Saitex International is one such business. Its factory now recycles 98% of THE (11) water it uses. For the remaining 2% it has an evaporation system, making it a zero discharge facility.
Before setting up the factory in 2010 the Company started looking at sanitation, or inadequate sanitation, globally, and the lack of clean DRINKABLE (12) water. Morally it pushed them to start looking at water as a very valuable resource. It took the company just six years to earn the money it HAD (13) invested in (the) (14) water recycling technology.
Some of the big name jeans firms are also working hard to reduce their environmental impact by using (a) (15) foam instead of water ; the process also reduces energy use by 60 (% ?).
Yet (‘Still’ serait mieux car ‘yet’ dans le sens de ‘but’ doit être utilisé comme conjonction), what percentage OF (16) shoppers are currently happy to pay the highest price tag that more ethically sourced jeans often carry? At Blackhorse Lane Ateliers, for example, their most expensive jeans cost £260.
When you ask consumers about what their primary motivations for purchasing in apparel ARE (17), then it's about price, about convenience, about range, and THE (18) quality of product. Actually, sustainability - and ethical sourcing - doesn't necessarily sit within the three tops of what's important for consumers when thinking about purchasing for apparel good.
But the situation is changing, with rising demand for more ethical clothing being led by young people.
They've become a lot more concerned ABOUT the societal impact that they're having, WHETHER (19) that's on the environment, the economy, and other AREAS (20) as well.

Hello
Comme il sera sûrement difficile de trouver autant de participants durant cet été, je prends le texte à trous, Part I & II

Making jeans can carry a steep environmental toll, because the dye used to give them their usual blue shade - indigo - does not easily stick to the raw cotton. "To get the dye on, we have to dye the fabric multiple times," he says. "And by dying it multiple times, obviously we need to use more water and more energy."
Then a jeans-maker may wash and bleach the jeans many times to lighten the colour, creating even more waste water. By some estimates it can take thousands of gallons of water to make one pair of jeans.
Such industries use a huge amount of water, and a huge amount of energy.
In many denim mills and jeans factories the used water - which contains the dye, plus bleach and other chemicals - is simply released as waste water. Thankfully, a growing number of producers are now eliminating waste water altogether.

Créer des jeans peut entraîner une facture environnementale salée, parce que la teinture utilisée pour leur donner leur teinte bleue - indigo - ne colle pas facilement au coton brut. "Pour que la teinte tienne, il faut teindre le tissu à maintes reprises.", dit-il. "Et en le teignant de nombreuses fois, on a évidemment besoin d'utiliser plus d'eau et d'énergie."
Puis un fabricant de jeans peut laver et décolorer (*) le jeans plusieurs fois pour rendre la couleur plus claire, générant encore plus d'eau usée. Selon certaines estimations, plusieurs milliers de litres d'eau peuvent être nécessaires à la fabrication d'une paire de jeans.
De telles industries utilisent une immense quantité d'eau et une immense quantité d'énergie.
Dans de nombreuses usines de denim et de manufactures de jeans, l'eau polluée - qui contient de la teinture, plus de l'eau de Javel et d'autres produits chimiques - est simplement évacuée comme des eaux usées.
Heureusement, de plus en plus de fabricants éliminent maintenant entièrement les eaux usées.

(*) j'étais tenté de mettre : délaver
