Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

As I care about the environment, I always try to wear ecological fabrics. The good thing about these organic fibres [US:fibers] is that they grow without the need for pesticides and, therefore, they are biodegradable. In addition, they are very soft hypoallergenic fabrics that neither damage the skin nor produce allergies. However, some of my friends say that this type of clothing is too expensive for them. I don't care about the price since I want to help look after the planet and instead of buying ten cheap t-shirts, I prefer to buy only one that is of good quality. It's all a matter of priorities, isn't it?

I'll be right with you...
