我们生活的方方面面都需要绿色与健康。远离污染，打造绿色生活，可以从点点滴滴的生命细节开始：着手减少室内有害气体（不喷发胶）、悬浮颗粒及电磁辐射的污染。纯天然的植物提取物并非都是健康的，可自制真正适合自身的护肤品。杜绝加工食品、含有多种添加剂或经过辐射处理的食品，选用绿色食品。把大自然带回家，但并非所有物种都适合你的家。用肥皂水而非洗车香波洗车。用简便无毒又不残忍的方法解决蟑螂、蚂蚁和苍蝇。巧妙清洗孩子的衣物。
What is green life
什么是绿色生活
Green lifestyle, also called sustainable living is a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual's or society's use of the Earth's natural resource and his/her own resources. Practitioners of green lifestyle often attempt to reduce their carbon footprint by altering methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet. Proponents of green lifestyle aim to conduct their lives in manners that are consistent with sustainability, in natural balance and respectful of humanity's symbiotic relationship with the Earth's natural ecology and cycles. The practice and general philosophy of ecological living is highly interrelated with the overall principles of sustainable development.
Lester R. Brown, a prominent environmentalist and founder of the Worldwatch Institute and Earth Policy Institute, describes green lifestyle in the 21st century as “shifting to a renewable energy-based, reuse/recycle economy with a diversified transport system.”
Green lifestyle is fundamentally the application of sustainability to lifestyle choice and decisions. Sustainability itself is expressed as meeting present ecological, societal, and economical needs without compromising these factors for future generations. Green lifestyle can therefore be described as living within the innate carrying capacities defined by these factors.
Sustainable design and sustainable development are critical factors to Green lifestyle. Sustainable design encompasses the development of appropriate technology, which is a staple of green lifestyle practices. Sustainable development in turn is the use of these technologies in infrastructure. Sustainable architecture and agriculture are the most common examples of this practice.
There are a number of ways to reduce waste in sustainable living. One method is reducing paper waste, such as by taking action to cancel junk mail and move paper transactions to an online document. Another method to reduce waste is to buy in bulk, which reduces packaging materials. Preventing food waste is an alternative to organic waste compiling to create costly methane emissions. Food waste can be reintegrated into the environment through composting. Composting can be carried out at home or locally, with community composting. An additional example of how to reduce waste is being cognizant of not buying materials with limited use in excess, such as paint. Reduction aides in reducing the toxicity of waste if non-hazardous or less hazardous items are selected.
