Meet the New Yorker who has gone TWO YEARS

without producing any trash

你相信嗎？這個女生連續兩年做到沒有製造任何垃圾

現在生活的環境中，浪費行為隨處可見，真的不可取啊～

我們一起來看看她是如何做到的

An eco-friendly entrepreneur and former NYU student has gone two years without producing any trash after making a 'conscious decision to live sustainably' during her final year of college. Lauren Singer, who majored in environmental science, began working towards living a 'Zero Waste' lifestyle while still studying at NYU and has been completely 'trash-free' for the past two years. The New Yorker even makes her own toothpaste, deodorant and laundry detergent in an attempt to avoid creating any unnecessary waste - and recently founded her own eco-friendly company, The Simply Co, through which she plans to sell her homemade products.

這位從紐約大學畢業的女生Lauren Singer

連續兩年不製造垃圾、零浪費！

這對現代人來說是多麼無法想像的事

她不但自己動手做牙膏、除臭劑

甚至是洗衣粉也一手包辦

為的就是不製造任何不必要的浪費

而她在畢業後不久

更創立了一家環保公司－The Simply Co

計畫將她自己生產的東西拿出來賣

'There were two moments that brought me to a trash-free,

waste-free lifestyle,' she writes on her blog, Trash is for tossers.

她在她的部落格(Trash is for tossers)上寫到：

有兩個重要的時刻影響了我，讓我決定要做這件事！

'The first was my senior year of college when my professor Jeffrey Hollender, of Seventh Generation fame, emphasized the importance living your values and made me think about my own personal environmental impact.

「第一是我的大學教授Jeffrey Hollender不斷強調

活出自我價值的重要性，讓我開始思考個人對環境所產生的影響。」

'The second was when a fellow environmental studies major would bring lunch to class every week in a single use plastic bag, a disposable water bottle, and a plastic takeout container.

「第二是每週環境主修課的午餐都會使用一次性的塑膠袋、

一次性的水瓶和塑膠外賣容器。」

'I would sit there and think, we are supposed to be the future of this planet and here we are with out trash, messing it up.'

而她說了這一句最重要的話：

「我們應該是這個地球的未來，但是我們卻用垃圾搞砸了這一切。」
