Nine Concepts of Sustainable Living

Environmental protection and saving money: nine ideas about sustainable living;

1. Take your shopping bag when you go out:

You don't have to carry it home in a big bag, just use an environmental protection bag, which is convenient for yourself and can also contribute to environmental protection. Environmental protection bags > plastic bags, more than a dozen net bags, it is very convenient to go out to buy food.

2. Become a "bring your own" person:

After getting used to bringing things with you, it is much more convenient to go out, and you don't have to spend more money and time on "forgetting to bring them", which makes you feel safe. Bring your own > spend money to buy, a canvas bag contains all umbrellas+paper towels+water cups+charging treasures.

3. Take more public transport:

It's convenient to travel now, so don't worry about parking. You can take a long-distance subway bus and enjoy a bicycle not far away, which is environmentally friendly and saves money. Environmental protection travel in the area > over-reliance on driving, one bus card for each person, and frequent cycling.

4. Rational use of plastic bags:

It is inevitable to bring plastic bags home when you buy food. The continued use of garbage bags will reduce the pollution of white plastics and save money on buying bags. Plastic bag = garbage bag reuse = saving money = environmental protection.

5. Reduce the use of disposable goods:

Disposable tableware, toothbrush, towel, etc. It brings temporary convenience but brings more disasters to the ecology. Bring your own toothbrush in the hotel and use cotton and linen towels instead of disposable face towels. Continuous use of goods > throw them away after use. On June 9th, I bought two cotton and linen face towels, which were also used to wipe towels.

6. Save water and electricity and reduce waste of resources;

In the case of low water consumption, turning down the water and cultivating the habit of turning off the lights conveniently can not only save money, but also reduce unnecessary waste of resources. I don't care about this little money. I used to forget to turn off the lights and brush the bowl of water when I went out. My father told me to economize, but I always disagreed. Now I will remind my family to save resources.

7. Save food, CD action:

Although it is out of the food shortage period now, it is still very difficult to have a porridge and a meal. Usually, the ingredients are properly planned and cooked on demand. Go to a restaurant to eat, and pack the leftovers to take away. Just have enough to eat > eating without restraint, two people eat: two dishes+two bowls of rice, and one person eats: one dish+one bowl of rice.

8. Turn waste into treasure and make the best use of it:

Express boxes are transformed into shoe boxes, unused cups are used as pen holders, and used bottles and cans can also be used to reuse discarded items, which is also great wisdom in life. Multi-function > Buy a new one, and the storage box transformed with coffee bag can hold pens, socks and other small objects.

9. Don't buy clothes often:

The pollution of daily clothes has become a global problem. Usually, we pay more attention to durability when buying clothes. We can try to choose good quality clothes to wear for a long time, and we can save a lot of money by buying less clothes. Durability of clothes >; Only look at the style, not the quality.
