Hope you can take 5 minutes to finish this article, then make your decision.
Plastic waste has successfully invaded the highest and lowest parts of the earth.8844.43 meters above sea levelThe highest mountain in the world

In 2019, the Nepalese government removed 11 tons of garbage from Mount Everest.

10927 meters below sea levelThe deepest part of the oceanIn May 2019, Explorers discovered the presence of plastic 10,927 meters within the trench.Because human waste management capabilities can't keep up with waste production, even though we implemented waste sorting, it still cannot solve the issue of disposal and degradation of plastic waste. 1/3 of the world's plastic waste 

has entered nature in the form of land, freshwater, and the oceans,

threatening our living environmentand the animals that also live on this planetYou might have seen these pictures a thousand times.Yet, after reading such news or pictures, do you usually feel angry or sad, do you forward and comment, but then ultimately forget or not take action?Some people might even become numb to it.
"It's more important for me to enjoy life without restraint! ""It doesn't really matter or affect me. ""I'm still safe and sound... "Ironically, us human, being at the top of the food chain, have also been successfully invaded by microplastics!As early as 2018, Microplastics have been found in human feces. If you have no idea how this could happen, here I give you the answer:Every year, humans produce about 300 million tonnes of plastic waste. Plastic waste is carried by the rivers, and 90% of it ends up in the oceans. Plastics degrade for at least 470 years Under the influence of light, water, and salt, plastics are peeled off into small particles which are only a few micrometers - plastic particles.

The plastic particles are eaten by marine animals by mistake or mixed into sea salt that is made of seawater, and ultimately appears on our dining tables. 

Plastic particles finally enter the human body, harming our health.

How harmful is this to us？You should definitely google it.2018 August 9th，my 26th birthday，I started my first Birthday Zero Plastic challenge：There were 12 friends from 8 different countries join me. Disappointingly, besides me, there was only 1 Chinese friend who joined a challenge that ironically initiated in China.I remember when I challenged my friends, many of them were interested, but finally refused because of various doubts or excuses, or already gave up even before it started.「There is no way I'll make it！」「I play basketball a few times a week, and I have to drink coke or energy drinks, the bottles are plastic. So I quit.」「I'm being exhausted enough every day because of work, I don't want to trouble myself anymore.」「This is so useless, it won't really solve this problem, you know. The fundamental problem is………………………………」「Only one or few individuals doing this, the power is too weak, still so many people  are using plastic.」I still live a plastic reduced lifestyle till now, but I often feel are my efforts futile? When one is giving persistent effort, but everyone else around is ignoring it or even going against it...Until I participated in World Cleanup Day leaders Academy (not an ad)When I was presenting my Zero Plastic Birthday Challenge, I received so many compliments and supports from the other "leaders".And after heard me saying I feel my individual power is weak, they encouraged me, saying if you search around you will find there are many people are on your side, just keep doing it✊！If there is never 1, how to make it from 0 to 100?This time, I'll take this matter even more seriously.Considering some might feel "Zero Plastic" is too drastic, I will change the concept of "zero" to "reduce", and I hope more friends will give it a try, challenge yourself!

It means in this month try your best to：

• reject plastic bottled water/beverages (unless you can recycle it)• refuse plastic shopping bags (bring your own bags for shopping)• reject plastic packed products (especially overpacked products)• refuse online shopping with plastic packages & delivery• reuse non-disposable plastics as much as possible(Since you've already read till here, please finish it :)It means in this month try your best to：• Purchase less plastic bottled water /beverages, and recycle them• Bring your own bags for shopping, increase offline shopping• Refuse overpacked products eg. groceries with plastic packages• Dine in more, or choose food delivery services which uses less or no plastic packaging• Place an online order after confirming with the vendor for them not to overpack. eg. less or no unnecessary bubble papar• reuse non-disposable plastics as much as possibleSome friends might ask, there are some things that you really can't avoid,
like plastic garbage bags, toothpaste tubes, I can't avoid using them, can I?Hereinafter, I give some suggestions and tips for the challenge, and answers of some of to the objections:Plastic bottled beverages: Get yourself a refillable bottle, prepare your own drinks, or tea, it's also healthier than beverages full of sugar.It's indeed hard to avoid, but if you are ready for the challenge, you can also use cartons instead or even put the trash directly into the bin. Not only toothpaste tubes but also toothbrushes, electric toothbrush heads, mouthwash bottles, dental floss, or for any oral waste products, you are more than welcome to contact and deliver them to me(if you are in China). There is an environmental company that recycles oral waste products. Or, feel free to ask me the name of the company and the recycling address.♻️Cosmetic and household chemical bottles: 1. Wash them first and then put them into your/the local recycling bins. 2. Buy from brands that offer a recycling plan.Feminine sanitary products: Time to check out diva cup, this amazing design totally changed my life.Plastic packaging from online shopping: 1. Confirm with the seller that you do not want the plastic packaging, then place an order. 2. Think twice, you might not even need the thing you are buying! 3. It's not bad to enjoy yourself by doing offline shopping again.Daily necessities with Plastic: Think harder if there is a good substitute without plastic.Food/snacks with plastic packaging: What about weight ourselves on a scale first, honey?Maybe it's a perfect time for you to quit smoking~In the worst case, gathering all the unavoidable plastics in a big container first, count it at the end of the month, and see how much waste we produce.Why be afraid of plastic waste when there is waste sorting?Once you know how plastic waste is disposed of in the earth, you won't have to ask that question again. Instead of going into detail, I suggest you watch the documentary called "Story of Plastic"

There are way more things that need to be done than just reducing plastic waste, so by doing only this, it is not going to really matter and make the world a better place.

It's irresponsible to say if we can not do 100%, so we won't try 10%.

What can I benefit from participating in the challenge?

When you complete the challenge, you will really feel your own value and be surprised at your power! And you'll develop better awareness and build up better habits and a better lifestyle, that will probably benefit you for a lifetime.

 The challenge will start on If you want to join me，PM me or leave a comment down here.We're going to set up a WeChat group，and supervise each other during this month.You can also join later, but please complete it for a whole 30 days as well.

Please adhere to the following principles:

Persistence is victory!

Don't cheat!

Don't lie to yourself!

I really wish we can also bring the concept of waste-reducing into our daily life. After this month, let’s see,  perhaps we can keep going! 

(Some pictures are from the internet.)

If all the temperature in the world, 

all the temperature of lives,

are the same,

I will not see sublimation.

But if all the temperatures,

are so different,

I will see only melt and thaw.

Thanks for the arrangements like these.
