OpenF2F Class Notes 20th September (Celeste)

Original

I saw one article from wechat, it said that one girl just had a bottle of garbages for 4 years. Those garbages are just some labels of clothes like paper. Her life is very natural. She use cloth bag to buy any food, such as rice etc. She not only give up all of snacks, but also she get better body. She make toothpaste and soap by herself, especially her soap can be used to wash hair, body and hands. Some garbages of vegetables and fruits she made them as fertilizer for her vegetable garden.

Through this story, I agree that we need to reduce waste and make the environment better. I admire her very much, I know that I cannot do that. And there is another point we are same, enjoy do it by ourselves. We will try to reduce my garbages, because we have a big bag of garbage everyday. It is so bad

I saw one article from wechat, it said that one girl just had a bottle of rubbish from the past 4 years. The trash is made up of just some clothing price tags. Her life is very natural. She uses cloth bags to buy any food, such as rice etc. She also  gave up all snacks, so she got a better body. She makes toothpaste and soap by herself, especially her soap can be used to wash hair, body and hands. Some vegetable and fruit scraps she uses them to make compost/fertilzer for her vegetable garden.

Through this story, I agree that we need to reduce waste and make the environment better. I admire her very much, I know that I cannot do that. There is another point, we like the same things, we enjoy DIY projects. We will try to reduce our rubbish, because we make a big bag of garbage everyday. It is so bad for us and the environment.

garbage / trash / waste / rubbish
hankerchief / cloth napkin
reuseable bags vs. plastic bags
secondhand items

throw away = put in the trash

Reducing our waste will benefit our lifestyles. For example, we can donate or exchange our clothes instead of putting them in the trash. We can cook at home together instead of ordering takeout which comes in plastic containers. We can grow our own vegetables instead of buying them at the market where they use plastic bags.
