According to Malaysian government statistics
On average, every Malaysian will make a kilogram of garbage a day
30 days is thirty kilograms
What is the concept of thirty kilograms of garbage?
If you wear 30 kilograms of garbage
You will grow like this
As a reporter
I write many environmental topics
Call my readers to love Earth with me and protect nature
But most interesting is
Every time I write these topics
I always have to eat a lot of snacks
Then I would have these piles of snack bags after I finished
Throw in the trash
Yes, I really can’t stand this hypocrisy myself
Until one day I read a book called: Environmental Protection will not die for one year
The family of the author practiced a year in New York without making garbage
At that time I thought
Since they can do it in New York
Then I can do it in Malaysia.
So starting from January 1 this year
My husband and I practiced a zero-waste experiment for a year
Zero junk life sounds like a simple thing
Many local environmentalists told me
You are absolutely impossible to succeed
My friends say one after another puzzle
What to do if you wipe your nose
What to do if you go on a trip
What about menstruation?
Even my dad said
Earth will not change because of you alone
In fact, what they said was not entirely wrong.
At least when it started
I was just scared to death by myself
Drink a cup of tea, tea bags are rubbish
Drink a glass of Milo Ice and the straw is rubbish
There is rubbish in grocery shopping
My husband’s favorite egg tower has rubbish
Even the ball pens we use every day
It is a kind of garbage that is lost after use.
How to do
Our life is full of so many large and small garbage
How can it be successful?
In fact, don’t panic
Zero rubbish is not as complicated as imagined
In simple terms it is just a sentence
Zero rubbish life is a process of finding alternatives
The product and behavior that will generate rubbish in life
Replace with products and actions that do not generate junk
It’s that simple
Since it is simple
We start with the simplest garbage
Disposable container
Disposable container, do we use many pairs every day?
But in fact, as long as I carry a reusable water bottle with me
Lunch box, cloth bag
I can get rid of all these garbage in one second
Since then, my life is no longer styrofoam
No plastic bag, no bottle
It is not only good for the environment but it is also better for my health
What is the smallest waste?
Guess what?
Is there an idea?
The answer is a sticker on Apple
I once thought that there would be this little sticker on top of the apple all over the world.
So can’t I just buy apples?
But then I discovered
It turns out that in addition to the apples that have stickers in the market
There are also apples without stickers
And what I want to do is
Choose to buy an apple without a sticker
The original zero rubbish life is a process of finding alternatives
It is also a process of making choices
What is the garbage that is most important to life and death?
I would say food
Many people told me that modern food has packaging
There must be garbage
But actually this sentence is wrong
Because it is a fruit and fruit chocolate bread
Chebymyi salt sauce vinegar tea
All the food I need in life
I found an unpackaged alternative
And these unpackaged alternatives
Often cheaper than the packaged products sold in the supermarket
So it’s right.
Zero rubbish can also help me save money
I said so much
Do you think that zero garbage life seems to sound simpler?
But if I tell you now
Zero garbage life is not the most difficult fundamentals
Can you believe it?
In the past ten months, people constantly questioned us along the way
Say we are fraudsters
However, secretly throwing trash into someone’s trash can
Someone told us we are homeless
Must be smelly, dirty, dirty
Others say we have a bad brain
Life is so short
How can you afford to enjoy yourself if you do not enjoy it in time?
So for a while, I feel lonely
So I locked myself at home
I haven’t updated my Zero Spam page for a long time
I also have no courage to explore the possibility of new zero garbage
But life still has to continue
So during that time I still carry my vegetable basket
Go to the grocery market to buy food
I moved to this community for about two years
However, it was after the zero garbage life.
First time into this vegetable market
The hawkers here were strangers to me.
Ignore it
Then face black
But soon they all recognized me as a girl with a big basket and a small basket.
They will not only buy vegetables and send me onion
I installed a drink to clean my bottle
There is also one of the most adorable uncle jackfruit
He sees me every time
He will praise me with exactly the same sentence
I remember very clearly
He will say every time
If everyone is like you
Our Earth is saved
After he finished, he would send me a jackfruit to reward me
From the beginning of zero junk life to the tense
To meet the joy of slowly eliminating rubbish
Afterwards, face the challenge attack and rejuvenate.
After 10 months of zero garbage life
We succeeded in turning a person into 300 kg of trash
Reduced to only this tank
The trash weight of two people for ten months does not exceed 100 grams
You may want to hear me when you come here today
What is the serious problem of rubbish garbage
What is the meaning of zero garbage?
I don’t want to say these principles today.
What I want to say is actually very simple
This can of garbage in my hand
Every one is born for me
Each one comes from me
Instead of throwing them into the trash
Then deceive yourself
They have disappeared.
I choose to be responsible for every piece of my trash
No matter how small they are
This is what I am doing. Thank you
(applause)
