美國人一年平均產出一噸的廢棄物

情態副詞

The average American generates one ton of waste annually.

我家從2008年起 每年製造像這個罐子大小的垃圾

My family: one jar of waste per year since 2008.

我們閱讀幾本書 看了幾部紀錄片

we read some books, watched some documentaries.

我先生和我所發現的一切 讓我們感到很難過

And what my husband and I found really made us sad

想著我們即將 遺留給孩子的未來

thinking about the future we were going to leave behind for our kids.

這念頭使得我們 決心改變生活方式

So it gave us the will to change our ways.

我非常積極找尋 零廢棄生活的方法

I got super motivated in trying to find waste-free alternatives.

我試了很多方法 比如用玻璃罐保存食物

I tried lots of things like canning and those -

但我不建議拿蕁麻葉塗在嘴唇上

but I do not recommend using stinging nettle on your lips

我也不建議拿苔蘚替代如廁衛生紙

I do not recommend using moss in lieu of toilet paper either.

你知道， 苔癬會乾掉 所以隔天你會...

You see, moss dries, so the next day you end up with -

which is a way of washing your hair without shampoo.

你得把頭皮沖濕 用小蘇打粉稍加按摩

You're supposed to wet your scalp, massage some baking soda in,

and then rinse it with apple cider vinegar.

可是六個月後 我頭髮的油脂跑到這邊

But after six months, let's just say that the oil of my hair migrated down to here,

Not quite the hairstyle I was looking for.

when one night I went to lay down next to my husband,

and he looked over, rolled his eyes, and said,

我實在受不了 你聞起來像醃鯡魚一樣

"I am so tired of you smelling like pickled herring, Bea.

就在那時我意識到 我也許有點走火入魔

So that's when I realized that maybe I had gone too far,

以及我應該開始找尋 洗髮精的替代方案

and maybe I should find another alternative to shampoo.

經過所有的嘗試與錯誤 我們終於找到平衡點

After all this trial and error, we found balance.

We found that for Zero Waste to be sustainable

我們只需要照順序遵循以下五種規則

all we had to do was follow five rules in order.

嘿，別以為我們把廢棄物埋在後院

Now, don't you guys even dare think that we bury our waste in our backyard,

或者把垃圾丟到別人家或公共垃圾桶

or we throw it in other people's cans, or in the public bins.

第一條規則 是拒絕我們不需要的東西

The first rule is to refuse what we do not need.

在這個消費主義的社會 我們成為各種消費商品的主打客群

For today, in this consumerist society, we're the targets of many consumer goods.

但每次我們購買這些產品 我們也同時製造更多的生產需求

But every time we accept them, we create a demand to make more.

我們每從研討會 拿一隻免費原子筆回家

Every time we take a free plastic pen from a conference,

請從地底下鑽更多油 來製造另一支筆

"Please, drill more oil from the ground to create a replacement,

The second rule of the Zero Waste lifestyle

我們家進行了徹底的清除雜物過程

So in our home, we've gone through a decluttering process.

The beauty of decluttering is that it lets you share the things

你可以藉此將用不到 或不需要的東西分享給別人

that you do not really use or need with other people.

這對零廢棄生活的未來非常重要

which is extremely important for the future of Zero Waste.

以前在我的廚房 我會用罐子裝滿餐具

In my kitchen in the old days, I used to have a jar filled with utensils.

until I realized that I only have two hands.

而且我攪拌的時候 我只用到一隻手

What's the point of having ten wooden spoons?

這張照片是我家水槽的下方櫥櫃

This is a space that used to be filled with cleaning products

because I was listening to what the marketers tell us.

他們說每個地方 需要不同的清潔產品

They tell us that for each application, we need a different product.

to clean the floors, a different product;

最後我們的櫃子放滿 各種有毒的清潔產品

and we end up with a cabinet filled with toxic products

我發現要把整個家清掃乾淨 只需要使用白醋和橄欖皂

We found that we can clean our whole house just with white vinegar and castile soap.

這就是我們家在浴室需要的用品

So this represents all the products that we need in our bathroom.

刷牙時，我們只會 在沾濕的牙刷上撒蘇打粉

to brush our teeth, we simply sprinkle baking soda on a wet toothbrush.

不過使用可可粉塗腮紅的問題是

The only problem with using cacao powder on your cheeks

is that you have a chance of getting attacked by dogs

when you walk down the street, but it hasn't happened yet.

And this, the closet that I share with my husband.

在大多人的衣櫃裡 你只會穿其中二成的衣服

Now, in a normal closet, people only use 20% of their clothes.

其他八成的衣服繼續掛著 因為「假如」的念頭

They keep the other 80% for the "what if."

我們家所做的事就是搞清楚 那二成的衣服是哪幾件

What we've done in our home is figure out what our 20% is,

以我來說，我有一條短褲 兩件裙子、兩件洋裝

So in my case, I have one pair of shorts, two skirts, two dresses,

兩條長褲、七件上衣 和一件針織衫
