不環保的環保
Translation: @berbermnm
.
某次選舉
我收到議員大方送給選民的精緻環保袋
塑膠的包裝袋未拆 就被我放在櫃子裡
至今未見過第二眼
.
不必要的環保袋就是浪費資源
不必要的環保筷就是破壞環境
不必要的特價品就是貴
不必要的贈品就是負擔
我這麼認為
所以我覺得送禮很不容易
希望禮物沒有過度包裝
也希望對方能喜愛常用
常常只能送吃的 或是無限可能的禮金
.
那一次選舉
我得到一個塑膠包裝袋 一個被冷落的袋子
也承擔它們製程中任何資源能源的消耗
在我用完家裡源源不絕的塑膠袋之後
我就會把環保袋從櫃子裡請出來好好對待
.
我大學時裝泳具的塑膠袋還在執勤
我畢業後買的背包還陪著我旅行
我當兵時的不銹鋼筷還在照顧我
我不是堅持環保的戰士
也有貪圖方便的懶惰心態
只是它們健康忠誠地陪著我 就一起走下去了
.
如果不需要就不要
如果能重用就再用
我們還是可以在環保當中 維持原有的生活水準

I received a delicate recycle bag from an election candidate during his campaign which I put aside together with the plastic wrapping and haven’t casted a second look on it till now.
.
Extra recycle bags are a waste of resources
Extra reusable chopsticks are harmful to the environment
Unnecessary discounted goods are expensive
Unnecessary gifts are actually weighing you down
This is what I believe and that’s why I think it’s not easy to give gifts
I hope the gifts from me are without excessive wrapping and will be genuinely liked by the receivers that they will use the gifts
It often comes down to food and snacks, or the all mighty cash
.
I got a plastic wrapping and a bag I never used from that election and I shared the burden of the material and energy consumed for its production
I will take it out and make good use of it after I I finished using the vast amount of plastic bags in my home
.
The plastic bag I used for my swimming gears is still carrying out its mission
The backpack I bought after graduation is still my company on my trips
The chopsticks made of stainless steel I got when I was serving the army is still feeding me
I’m not an environmental warrior
I am often lazy and put convenience my first priority
These are still accompanying me just because they are still healthy and doing their jobs loyally
.
Don’t take it if we don’t need it
Reuse it if it’s still reusable
We still can maintain our standard of living while adding a certain amount of environmental friendly acts in it.
