How to Live Green

如何绿色生活

Buy Local

买本地的东西

"Supporting local growers is what will make a change," says Sarah. "I really pay attention to where things come from -- I'll buy olive¹ oil from California, not from Italy. Too much energy is used to import."

“支持当地种植者就是做出改变,”莎拉说。“我真的要注意东西从哪里来——我会买来自加州的橄榄油,而不是来自意大利。太多的能源用于进口。”

Say No To Plastic

对塑料说不

"On tour, you can go through so many paper plates and shit," says Ned. "It drives me nuts. So I take silverware and keep it in my bunk²."

“游玩中,你会经受很多纸盘子和大便,”内德说。“它把我逼疯了。所以我把银器放在在我的床铺上。”

Start A Garden

开始一个花园

"Ned built these beautiful boxes that we planted our vegetables in," says Sarah. They get their greens from Ned's brother Luke, who runs Home Grow Micro Farms in L.A.

They also compost to get rich soil for the garden.

“内德建立这些漂亮的盒子,我们可以在里面种植蔬菜,”莎拉说。他们得从内德的哥哥卢克那里得到绿色蔬菜,卢克在洛杉矶经营家里成长微农场。他们也为花园堆肥土壤致富。

Limit Packaging

限制包装

"It's more energy efficient to transport stuff with less packaging," says Sarah. "I look for products with minimal³ packing."

“运输东西少包装是更节能的,”莎拉说。“我寻找最低限度包装的产品。”
