37. Garbage Could Mean Money

Fashion never ceases to surprise me. Recently, a fashion designer came up with another strange creation.
His idea comes straight from the garbage dump, so to speak. He makes sweaters from used plastic bottles. What
a weird sweater that's going to be!
This new kind of sweater will protect you from the rain and cold. They will, therefore, be especially
attractive to outdoor people such as fishermen, hunters and mountain climbers. However, they're not cheap.
They sell at prices ranging from US$100 to US$150. What a great idea for making money! Don't you think?

dedicated 专心的
cease to do = cease doing 停止(前者用得多)
come up with 提出,想出
so to speak 可以说 He is, so to speak, a scholar.
sweater 毛衣
charity 慈善(团体)
rain or shine adv. For my vacation, I am going to beach rain or shine.
