Lauren Singer is a New Yorker with one difference—a zero waste lifestyle, and she's got a jar(罐) to prove it.
Lauren started living a zero waste lifestyle in 2012 after opening the fridge one day and realizing so much food was packaged(包装) in plastic. This 16oz(盎司) jar she has holds everything she wasn't able to reuse or recycle from 2012 to 2016.Let's see what's in the jar: little stickers on fruit and vegetables that can't be recycled; and although Lauren only buys clothes in second hand stores, the bits of plastic connecting the price tags(标签) also go straight in the jar. The New Yorker has set up a website and a blog to help spread the zero waste message.
When she goes to the local farmers' markets, Lauren uses her own reusable cloth bags. She even avoids paper packaging. She prefers to wrap freshly baked bread in her own dish towels.
She says she's saved a lot of money by avoiding supermarkets. Part of the price goes towards packaging in the supermarkets.
“I've changed my lifestyle and prevented thousands of pounds of rubbish from going to landfill，” says Lauren. “I believe that one person can make a difference. It's just having a desire(愿望) to do so.”

If you live in Shanghai, you have to sort rubbish, as the city has introduced new rubbish sorting regulations(规定)．
It's now required(要求) that people should sort rubbish into four types. They are recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. However, if people don't sort their rubbish properly, they can be fined 200 yuan. More Chinese cities are introducing similar regula tions, following the practice in Shanghai.
According to a study, over 90 per cent of the public believe that rubbish sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, rubbish sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 per cent of the participants(参与者) said they thought they were sorting their rubbish. According to Xinhua News Agency, it's partly because many people lack(缺乏) the willingness to sort their own waste. In the past, some old rubbish regulations didn't give clear fines to people who didn't sort rubbish.
Liu Xinyu, a researcher(研究员) of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, told China Daily that the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into the compulsory(强制性的) action for everyone.
In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill. There is a fixed(固定的) time for dealing with each kind of rubbish and littering can lead to high fines and the person who litters may even be put into prison(监狱). In Germany too, the government advise people to sort waste into specific types. For example, in Berlin, people have yellow bins for plastic and metals(金属) and blue bins for paper and cardboard.
