Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility", this is a well-known sayingReal environmental protection is admirable, but there are also many enterprises and businesses under the banner of environmental protection to attract consumers in exchange for benefits, environmental protection is just a gimmick, but in fact it is fake environmental protection.
The former Swedish environmental protection girl was revealed to be inconsistent with her words and deeds after becoming famous, which disappointed people, but my country's "environmental protection girl" - Su Yige, she is amazing with her unique lifestyle, she does not use toilet paper and sanitary napkins, and also has a box of earthworms as petsIs she really an environmental fighter? What is life like in ordinary life?
Su Yige's growth process can be said to be from the beginning of thrift to environmental protection to change thinking, in the family education from a young age, parents are more concerned about the conservation and protection of resourcesThey lead by example and integrate habits such as saving electricity and water into their lives, and such environmental protection behaviors have deeply affected Su Yige and made her develop the habit of saving since she was a child.
Most of my mother's clothes are more than 10 years old, and the hair dryer has a history of nearly 20 years, and when I go out to eat, my father will take his own pot to the restaurant to pack, which is not only environmentally friendly but also avoids the health risks caused by hot food contact with disposable lunch boxes, and their whole family loves to eat salted duck eggs but not salted egg whites, so they use egg whites as salt when cooking, which not only reduces waste, but also replenishes protein.
As she grew older, Su Yige's environmental awareness gradually increased, and she began to learn how to reuse old things, such as the reuse of old book covers, this seemingly insignificant act of frugality is actually contributing to the environment, reducing waste and pollutionWhen the family takes a bath, she will also remind them to save water.
Entering junior high school, Su Yige began to pay attention to the environmental problems around her, she started to repair the faucets in the dormitory to avoid waste and water leakage, this behavior attracted the attention of her classmates, and imperceptibly affected the people around her, Su Yige gradually realized that environmental protection is not only a personal matterOnly by working together can we create a clean environment together.
In high school, Su Yige deeply understood the importance of garbage classification, she began to fully advocate garbage classification, try to reduce the use of disposable plastic bags, and pay attention to the choice of packaging can be the best goods, such a change is not only a personal choice, but also a manifestation of rational resource use and environmental protection. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
After that, Su Yige watched a documentary called "Plastic Kingdom", which made her more deeply aware of the damage and harm of garbage to the environment, and triggered her to think about the problem of garbage pollutionShe began to ask why the garbage produced by the developed countries and the rich was bearing the consequences for the people of the poor countries.
Su Yige gradually integrated the concept of environmental protection into her own life, for her, environmental protection has not only been a habit of life, but her active participation in environmental protection activities and the responsibility and mission, she hopes to influence more people, together to create a better and environmentally friendly earth, she put her eyes on saving paper.
For most people, they are accustomed to toilet paper for the toilet, printer paper for the office, carrying a shopping bag when shopping, and delicate wrapping paper for giftsLife without paper is simply not an inch, but it is not affected by Su Yige, she has been quitting paper for many years.
In terms of saving paper, Su Yige has his own unique opinionsShe ditched disposable toilet paper in favor of handkerchiefs that could be washed repeatedly, toilet paper with a rinser, and towels and discarded clothes instead of rags and napkinsShe does everything that needs to be done on the computer, and if she really needs to write a list or leave a message for her family, she will choose to write it on the back of the supermarket receipt paper, which is convenient and environmentally friendly.

In the kitchen, she makes her own citrus and white vinegar cleaner that can be used after two weeks, a mixture that is highly acidic and cleans every corner of the home, but not on marble surfacesShe uses the loofah as a cleaning tool that allows it to be buried in the soil for natural degradation when not in use.
As for the cleansing oil, she uses ordinary cooking oilFor example, olive oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, etc., she believes that healthy vegetable oils are more likely to have a healthy **,So choose these natural cooking oils as cleansing oils instead of using expensive cosmetics.
The most striking thing is that Su Yige does not use sanitary napkins during the menstrual period, and statistics show that the production process of disposable sanitary napkins has a serious impact on the environmentTherefore, Su Yige chose to use a menstrual cup (menstrual cup)., as well as strips of cloth to prevent blood from spilling, this form of personal hygiene not only conserves resources, but also helps her maintain good hygiene habits.

Like most girls, she also pays attention to her appearance and uses cosmetics, she buys eco-friendly products as much as possible, avoids waste, realizes the multi-functional use of items, or exchanges cosmetics with friends, because she produces almost no waste such as empty bottles, makeup remover pads, snack and drink packaging, so she is able to minimize the amount of wasteShe used to use a small iron box to hold one to two months of garbage in the bathroom and bedroom.
