Excessive Packaging (ECOYA) And the current situation in Korea

-
These days, we do self-quarantine and do a lot of internet shopping instead of going outside. Use apps like Amazon, eBay, Taobao, and Coupang to buy and ship things home. Of course, this is a really good alternative. Internet shopping, which has the advantage of living in a global disaster such as a disaster movie, not meeting people as much as possible, not having a conversation, and being able to get necessary things so easily, has saved many people.

But if the goods are delivered to my house like this, the goods come in the box. When you open the box, there is a supplement. Of course, I understand. I put it in to deliver the goods safely, but sometimes I think it's too much.

I once delivered Clam chowder soup from the United States. But each of the five came from different boxes with supplements that were at least five times larger than their own size. In China, they ordered 10 flower pots (really small ones). It was delivered to our school in huge styrofoam. I thought I was going to die because of the styrofoam powder. These days, especially in Korea, my family and I use an app called Coupang. Even if you order an egg, it doesn't break at all and it's delivered to a hard box. Inside the box is coated with non-conducting heat material, and it is delivered in front of the house at 6 a.m. the next day after ordering with five ice packs. Of course, the ice pack is made of pure water, so I can throw it away, but I can't seem to recycle the box. (Some boxes made my cat's house. There were so many houses, so I made a castle and built a villa. The house is wider and more than me. :D )

But in conclusion, there is nothing we can do. We can't go out at this point, and we have to rely on the Internet and online for everything. It would be nice if we could handle this kind of garbage, but there's nothing we can do right now. These days I'm just so grateful to those who deliver our packages and to the medical staff who work hard for our health.

The conclusion is so strange today. But so many courier companies and medical staff's efforts have minimized people's movements, and Korea has now finally regained peace. There have been no confirmed cases in the past week, and many have been treated. I can't help but care about the fact that my neighbors are sick and lonely rather than environmental pollution right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

+ A few days ago, in Itaewon, Korea (in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, it is called Itaewon. It is a place where there are so many foreigners and embassies are gathered around it. And I live in that very neighborhood.) There's another confirmed case coming out of the gay club. I'm really angry. Why do you go dancing in this situation? After the incident, medical workers sacrificed themselves and treated people, unable to take off their gloves and meet their families. But what are you doing? They are not announcing their movements because they fear they will be a problem with their lives and even hiding what they have been there. It is said that about 7,000 people visited the club that day. About 60 people have already been confirmed, and one in three visitors is said to be an asymptotic infection. What the hell is going on? Students can't even go to school. Originally, the school started on May 13, but it is likely that the school will be delayed again because of these bastards.

Why a healthy diet saves the Earth?

  "To prevent climate change from collapsing, we should reduce beef consumption by 90 percent." The report is based on a recent report published in the world-renowned scientific journal Nature. If the current eating habits are not improved, the ecological environment will be destroyed beyond the reach of 10 billion people in 2050. This warns that a change in eating habits is not a "choice" but a "must" to prevent climate change. A small 'food revolution' that begins with food choices actually has a tremendous impact on the Earth. It's hard to believe, but this is to save the Earth, which is suffering from pollution in water, soil, air and sea. Healthy diets, in particular, are a necessary change for modern people who are overcalorie and undernourished. A plant-based diet, healthier organic purchases, and waste-free food preparation keep the body healthy while also saving the Earth. 　 1. Enjoy a vegetarian diet　 　 The aforementioned report is a ...

The meat tax that Europe is worried about, if we actually introduce it...?

  While European governments, including Denmark, Sweden and Germany, are considering the so-called meat tax, studies have shown that imposing heavy taxes on actual meat significantly reduces deaths and medical costs. The BBC and other foreign media reported on the 7th (local time) that a research team at Oxford University analyzed the impact of the introduction of "meat tax" on deaths and medical costs in 149 countries that consume meat. The researchers conducted the study assuming that the government of high-income countries imposes 20 percent tax on meat and 110 percent tax on meat processed foods. In doing so, consumers in high-income countries expected to cut meat consumption by two people a week. As a result, the number of deaths per year across the country will decrease by 220,000 and medical-related costs will decrease by 30.6 billion pounds (about 45 trillion won). The research team also predicted that if the British government applies 14 percent tax rates to meat and...

"60% of the Earth's vertebrates have disappeared in the last 40 years."

  The WWF announced on the 30th that it will publish Living Planet Report 2018 in 89 countries including Korea at the same time. The report, published every other year by WWF, comprehensively sheds light on the impact of various human consumption and development activities on species and forests, oceans, rivers and climate change throughout the globe. It is widely cited by various governments and research institutes as references. The contents of this year's report were analyzed based on the latest data collected until 2014. The Global Life Report revealed how excessive agriculture, foreign species and new diseases affected biodiversity, health and population. The "unsustainable development" of mankind has dealt an all-round blow to the oceans, forests, coral reefs and wetlands. Twenty percent of the Amazon jungle has disappeared in just 50 years, and coral reefs have halved in 30 years. In particular, the number of vertebrates living on Earth has decreased by 60 percent ...
