How to stop bringing trash to your home | Elizaveta Chernova | TEDxTomskStateUniversity


[applause]
for all the clothes you see now
on me I did not give a penny
all this was worn before me by other people
I took something on a premarket for example
these pants
friends gave me something like this
shirt or this hat these things to me
especially expensive
because before that they have their own
the story and they served other people
humanity is producing huge
the quantity of goods is much greater than
it really consumes it is the law of the market and
the market inspires consumers that is everything
we are with you that we need these goods
but in reality all these things
only take our time a place and
deliver in part to us problems we take
for example clothes we buy it in
store or order further we
bring her home find a place for her
we wash we iron sew up further we
maybe some of us spend by
an hour to choose what they are
want to go out today but
it becomes a real problem then
when we move from one place to
the other seemed to be so necessary
and jerseys for us
turns into trash slow
actions every thing is a product
collective activity this
collective work someone came up with it
then it was fired
they delivered her they sold her here
reckless consumption of large
quantities leads to the fact that people
become ungrateful and
and not only ungrateful but also
miserable we stop appreciating those things
which are really dear to us
stop thinking where do they come to us
clothes where do other things come from and
where then does it go statistically
each of us throws tons in a year
garbage and
this ton is not recycled anywhere and
can not be disposed of like every
morning you rush to the university or on
work and buy just one glass
fees for the year after you left 240
cups that are not
recycled and not recycled but because
what’s inside they are covered in plastic
film and many truth people think that
they will spend 120 rubles buy a glass
coffee or another jersey and they will become
happier in reality all
it will be quite the opposite and I would be very
I wanted to say something that we do not need
so many things we need we need
some kind of minimum which is really
helps us in everyday life and
which make us happy and that is why
last fall I tried to lead
waste-free lifestyle at first i’m long
could not decide on this because all
yet this is not europe
we have very few shops where they sell
without packing there are no more precisely and
we are in siberia where some
it is just hard to buy products
some products get too difficult
but in reality everything turned out
much simpler than i thought and so i
I wanted to tell you a couple of tips
The main tips that I use
everyday life and that will help
produce you less trash
buy seasonal produce and
support local production
the cost of that about those products that
you buy includes their transportation
packaging design of this packaging storage
for example packing and shipping
harm the environment
much better if you will
support local production and
buy those products that are now
grown and buying it on the market from
This implies my next point.
buy food without packaging
for example with candy candy wrappers you can always
replace with a large bar of chocolate
nuts and fruits
dried fruits vegetables all you can buy
unpacked by weight and in order to
I went out to shop
bags of different sizes to them very
good sellers are always
smile everyone knows me they can
either sewing yourself is just either
You can also order on the Internet
come up with something like a troop either
reuse packages and therefore
my next point is not to take at the box office
plastic bags for the year
is distributed sold 26 billion
plastic bags if someone would decide
wrap them in Tomsk that have wrapped it
in twenty five layers and very much without many
packages are easy to get along with especially when
can be put in the bag or the product itself
by itself does not require packaging or he already
packed it again pack
so if possible use here
such packages or use and
secondarily if they are not torn and in
normal condition no further
throw away food on average is thrown away
30 40 percent
the food that is produced is a problem not
only of course we are with you but if we
we buy excess food we
thus provoking this one
recycling overproduction of all this
food is very easy to solve
make a list
when you go to the store to invent
in advance what will you eat tomorrow after
tomorrow and buy what you need
always of course it turns out that we are not
we can think everything over and the products remain
which have gone bad and in that case
often you can solve this problem too
for example with bread
dried can make crackers and
add the sour milk from the soup
you can make pancakes
take a thermos in so many
the cafeterias even give a discount when you
take coffee or tea in your own
thermos is the only problem big
thermoses are not suitable for this reason
I gave many such friends here
small thermoses to take
tea coffee with you if they are often
doing for myself I have
reusable coffee cup which
it closes the lid it keeps warm
less necessary to drink coffee once I
could
have something like do and then hours
in two
come to my senses and finish my coffee and so I
I carry a big thermos I always have
a tea this item often leads
people at a loss as to how it is
food waste they are already eco-friendly why
I will explain them when we bury
throw food waste in the usual
rubbish very often they don’t mix
along with chemicals and then in landfills
they don’t get air they don’t get
water it all remains the same load on
dump like the rest of the trash but still such
landfills emit methane and often on them
there is a fire
burning dump is very bad
use separate garbage collection
grid where all such similar are indicated
trash can be found in the group clean world
Tomsk or just go out and search
around the house there are a lot of them where there is and
it’s easy to find giving useful
nice gifts and not useless thing and
in packing it is not necessary to give magnets
earrings that break in two days
do not give any ugly there
notepads
balls and pack it a few
packs beautifully packing bows and ribbons
A gift from this will not be better if
a good gift he will be good without
any packaging but for me it was always
the problem is when they give me such things with
I don’t want to offend one side
man on the other hand
I don’t want to overwhelm me either
and it is not clear where to put it
therefore give gifts which person
really need
this is to make him happy either though
do something from my heart do not create mine
the problem is that he then does not know where it is
just do use natural
cosmetics hygiene products without
packaging solid shampoos solid gels
for a shower without soap packaging
all this can be found on the internet either
in specialized stores
also it can be made from improvised
funds
this, too, can all be found on the Internet
any recipes
many think that consumption purchase
of things this is something fascinating and
interesting but it looks like this to us
advertise as this is what it looks like
really it looks like this and
you can always buy good quality
thing in second hand
either available on premarket
free market from organ
this is an event that takes place every three
Month in Tomsk and there brings people
things that they already either wore or
once bought but not worn
and there you can find very nice clothes and
exactly the same can be attributed there things
which you do not wear can also be attributed
things but of worse quality which
in dem for further processing
you can give things where homes and shelters
my next point is walking and not
use transport
more public transport and not
use elevator save water and
electricity about the elevator when you
you live on the third or sixth floor
it seems pretty simple two years I
lived so that on the fourteenth
floor and
for the time while I went back there I
I became more enduring and I became
a little bit easier to climb
the mountains are the only problem are those friends
who did not want to go
alone on the elevator and wanted to pass the most
on foot and with no habits were very pleased
I would like to tell this further that
Tomsk pass various organizations
separate waste collection
for example, this is purely a game that passes
right now on the quays people
there are divided into teams collects
separately garbage later winners
receive prizes and such activities and in
Tomsk passes quite a lot so I
completed
all my main tips and most importantly i
I would like to convey to you that all of us
need to go from automatic mode
in which we often stay in
conscious consumption
we need to confine those things
who we are who you really
necessary and that please us and all
what I told is not just about
ecology another lecture in oncology
It’s all about our life and how
make our life happier
I really hope that my advice to you
somehow help and you will be happy
thanks to them
