Be Green
Xinyu Yang
In the last week of the challenge, I succeeded in not buying clothes and shoes. This made me find that I saved a lot of money compared to last year's bank bill in May. Maybe in the summer, I can make a short trip instead of buying unwanted items. In fact, I found that in addition to impulsive consumption, I still have many places to improve for a green life. For example, by reducing the use of Uber, Lyft and other App, public transportation is a more environmentally friendly option. How to maintain "Be green" is a huge challenge in later life. In fact, I already need to buy some clothes for the summer.
How to find a balance between consumption and environmental protection is a huge problem.
Eleanor Amari (ambassador at Remake, a sustainable fashion non-profit based in San Francisco, California) says, “One common misconception is that we actually spend less on fast fashion. Over the course of a lifetime, we actually spend more on fast fashion than we would if we invest in higher quality things.” Long-term non-consumption is an impossible task for me to shop. Then buying second-hand, high-quality items, and local shopping may be my compromise and the best option. These behaviors can reduce carbon emissions
