In a small rented house in Shanghai, inhabited by a young girl with a sophisticated and stylish appearance, but known for her unusual lifestyle. This young girl, named Su Yige, was given the title of "environmental babe". The way she lives, her values, sends a clear message: Treat the planet as you would treat yourself.
Su Yige's environmental protection path did not originate from impulse, but from her family education. She grew up in a small city in China, from an ordinary family that has always adhered to the tradition of thrift and frugality. Her parents' concept of frugality deeply influenced her and became her motto throughout her life. In her memory, whether it was the sauce on the table or the cover of an old book, waste was a taboo in the family. These early teachings made Su Yige develop the good habit of cherishing resources and disgusting waste.
Her environmental awareness came after a breakup in college life. Su Yige became inferior, sensitive, lost weight sharply, and even suffered from anorexia. During this difficult time, her choice to find healthy ways to eat led her into the world of "whole food eating." In her local organic supermarket, she found not only organic food, but also products related to "zero waste" living, which made her interested in environmental protection.
At the heart of the "zero waste" concept is to try not to produce waste, and even if a small amount of waste is generated, it must be able to be recycled or degraded. In theory, some environmentalists could pack years of waste into a small glass jar, but this is extremely difficult in real life. Su Yige once cherished the dream of pursuing extreme environmental protection, but gradually she found that her life became anxious. Therefore, she decided to adjust her approach to environmental protection, find a balance and no longer impose extremes.
Su Yige integrates environmental protection into his lifestyle and looks for a "traceless life" model that suits him. She no longer deliberately promotes the concept of environmental protection, but respects everyone's way of life and maintains a sense of environmental protection with the people around her. She realizes that changing others is not her mission, she just needs to do what she thinks is right, and eventually infect others.
Su Yige's eco-friendly lifestyle is no longer an extreme ascetic, but a more relaxed, closer to life and more natural way. She enjoys the joy of this sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle. In her opinion, environmental protection should not become a burden, but a pleasure, a happiness.
Su Yige hopes to integrate environmental protection into his life in his own way and become an "environmental enthusiast", rather than being labeled as "contributing to environmental protection". Her path to environmental protection tells us that environmental protection is not a static model, but should adapt to your own life, find balance, and enjoy happiness.
