The impact of Sunscreen on Marine Life 防晒霜对海洋生物的影响

Whether your approach to tanning is sunflower style or vampire-alike, we all should use protection when directly exposing to the sun as its UV lights are increasing their power and intensity. 无论你对光晒的态度是像一株向日葵一样的沉浸式还是像吸血鬼一样的见光躲式，由于太阳的紫外线递增增长，我们都应该在直接暴露在阳光下时保护皮肤。 But are all sunscreens similar? What does this imply? 但是，所有的防晒霜都差不多吗？有什么区别? Previously, we answered on how to be an eco-conscious traveler. 在此之前，我们谈论了如何成为一名注重环保的旅行者。 With this article, we want to give a quick breakdown

Spring is coming. So do are picnics! 春天来了,一起去野餐吧!

While winter might have arrived somewhere (no GOT spoiler here), spring is unquestionably coming to town. We have a long week ahead before Labor Days’ vacation, so we believe that there is no better way to celebrate Monday and Earth Day than start planning an outdoor getaway. 虽然冬天可能已经抵达某个地方(这里没有剧透)，但毫无疑问，春天已经来了。离劳动节假期还有一周多的时间，在此之前，让我们以户外度假的方式来庆祝周一和地球日吧！ Source(图片来源): Pinterest If you are already following Zero Waste Shanghai, organizing a Zero Waste picnic will be an easy st

8 Meaningful Brands That We Love to Work With!

So you probably know (or not) that the first R in the Zero Waste Lifestyle Code (cheez this sounds so formal) is REFUSE. Refuse what? Refuse things you don’t need …. and I usually proceed to give the example of goodie bags …. free pens, keychains etc. HOWEVER, our goodie bag is different.. I swear it is. Because this goodie bag will actually help you reduce your waste. It holds some samples from our favorite brands in Shanghai. We would not be recommending these brands if we

The difference one can make: the Meat Free Monday

In one of our very first articles, we wrote about the environmental impact of meat production. We already discussed how livestock soars the consumption of water and land, pollutes through animal methane, meat processing, and transportation, to not mention the waste caused by the packaging. But what can we actually do as single individuals? Source: meatfreemondays.com Back to 2003, The Monday Campaigns Inc. in collaboration with the Center for a Livable Future at Hopkins Bloom

In the past months, we addressed the challenge that the fashion industry is causing to the planet. 在过去的几个月里，我们提到了时尚界对地球造成的影响与挑战。 Although the picture is still very complicated and serious, there are a lot of young entrepreneurs who are establishing new trends and raising hope that fashion can also be done differently. 虽然环境污染的情况仍非常严峻，但是有很多年轻的企业家正在建立新的方式，并希望时尚界在日异更新的趋势中也可以通过不同的方式保护环境。 One of those entrepreneurs is Xenia Sidorenko, a Russian denim designer who decided to start

Let’s Stop Consuming Plastic and Help Our Rivers to Become Healthier.

Let’s consume less plastic and help our rivers to become healthier. Rivers deposit 2.75 million metric tonnes of plastic into the seas each year, with just ten rivers contributing up to 95% of the world’s total waste. Of the 2.75 million metric tonnes of plastic waste deposited into the ocean by rivers each year, 1.5 million, or 55%, flows out of the Yangtze (*) The longest river in Asia has become one of the world's most polluted, with tonnes of plastic waste threatening mar

Who said Zero Waste lifestyle equals Zero style?

Often when we talk about living a more conscious and eco-friendly lifestyle, people tend to believe that we want to condemn everyone to live a plain life without any pleasure. Well, the news is that being more mindful consumers is a feature that only makes us happier rather than bored, leaving more space in our lives for experience rather than objects.

Trend, Fair-Trade, Vegan Shoes … Yes it exists!

‘Clothing introduces you before you even speak ‘ a quote I read once and completely agree with. I think for most of us, clothing and accessories are really important as they are a reflection of how we feel and see ourselves. When it comes to my wardrobe, I prioritize comfort over style most of the time. My lifestyle and work require me to either run around town going from meeting to meeting, or stand up for a couple of hours at the time for workshops, walk around at a fast pa
