關於 plastic waste recycling ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

[生活美語] 同學有看過Bag to Earth*這種廚餘回收袋嗎？

在溫哥華第一次見到!

這些袋子完全都是用裝廚餘的可生物分解紙做的；這種由可再生材料製成的紙張為堆肥過程添加了所需的營養，因而使得有機食物的垃圾循環更具效率。透過連結可以閱讀更多有關袋子的資訊：https://www.bagtoearth.com/about

The bags are made entirely of biodegradable paper and are used to hold kitchen waste/food scraps (廚餘). This makes the organic food waste cycle more efficient as the paper, made from renewable and sustainable resources, adds needed nutrients to the composting process.

在台灣，我們使用塑膠袋裝廚餘。而這些袋子會被回收、還是被燒？我們多少的廚餘會變成肥料或是用來餵豬？這個過程的效率如何？我們應該如何做以減少食物浪費並降低回收過程的環境成本？這些是當探討環境污染時，我們應該思考的一些問題。

In Taiwan, we use plastic bag to hold our kitchen waste. Are these bags recycled or burned? How much of our kitchen waste is turned into fertilizer or pig feed? How efficient is the process? How can we reduce food waste and lower the environmental costs of our recycling processes? Some questions to think about when discussing environmental pollution.

經過兩年前的大搬家，我意識到一個人可以產生多少廢物和垃圾。 我重新思考自己的生活方式產生了想要簡單又環保的生活。 一直以來我都認真資源回收，但回收其實不夠，我了解到只有停止購買塑膠製品才是關鍵。
今天的貼文我想分享浴室塑膠產品和水的浪費。 有一些減少浴室塑膠浪費的方法，擁有一個環保浴室，實際上可能會為你的荷包省一些錢。

After a big move two years ago, I realized that how many waste one person can produce. I rethink my life style and I decided to change it and helping our environment. I have been seriously recycling in the household, but recycle is not enough, stop purchasing plastic products is the key.
My post talks about bathroom product and water waste. There are some tips to reduce plastic waste in the bathroom and might actually save some money.

我曾經有很多用於臉部，頭髮和身體的浴室用品，幾乎每一瓶罐都是塑膠容器，現在我選擇環保產品來減少塑膠的使用。 我從竹牙刷和肥皂開始，無法想像出生以來我用了多少隻塑膠牙刷!😬令我驚喜的是，我發現更多環保型浴室產品，例如塊狀牙膏和竹棉花棒！

I used to have many bathroom products for face, hair, and body which involved many plastic containers. Now I am reducing the plastics by choosing eco-friendly products. I started with bamboo toothbrush and bar soaps then I am surprisedly found out there are many eco-friendly bathroom products I can replaced to such as toothpaste bits!

改變需要勇氣和動力。 當我想到或許我的一點力量就能幫助改善環境和地球時，就會激勵我採取行動，從小地方開始，一點一點地改變，今天會比昨天更好。

Change takes courage and motivation. When I think about how I can do to take care of our environment and earth even a little bit, it motivates me to take this action. Start small, change one by one, today is better than yesterday.

I took some time out this week to journey though the beauty market by @loccitanemy
It had been a year since I joined their meaningful Big Little Things recycling programme. I am truly impressed on the effort by L’occitane in reducing plastic waste by genuinely accepting any beauty brands.
Kudos to you @loccitanemy @ 1 Utama Shopping Centre
