Week 8- 2 Sustainable Fashion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXOd4qh3JKk

I have been plagued by one thing lately. I am about to finish my studies in Sydney this semester, but I have too many clothes to throw and pack, so I don't know how to pack my luggage. Seeing this video has brought me a lot of inspiration.
This video wants to encourage people to pay more attention to sustainable fashion. In the past two decades, the sales of clothes have increased dramatically. Our generation has more than four times more clothes than their parents. In the UK, more than one million tones of clothes are thrown into the landfill every year, and we don't feel really happy because we have a lot of clothes. We all know that many clothes are made and transported by many far-flung countries, and the energy consumed is not to be underestimated.
From this video, I can try to buy second-hand items after learning. The second point. If I really have a lot of clothes to deal with, I can't bring them back to China. I will try to donate these clothes to the institutions and people I need. The third point is to buy better quality clothing so that you can wear it for a long time and reduce the number of purchases.

My current life is far from the theme of hunger, and it is impossible to imagine people in other places taking insects as food. The video mentions that under the premise of climate change, 11% of the world's people face hunger, and food security has become the biggest problem today. Insects can solve the problem of global hunger. Everyone can have forty tons of insects. They are also sustainable. For example, cockroaches can survive on wheat stalks instead of consuming grains like the meat we usually eat. And the cultivation of insects will not damage the environment. I understand that eating insects can have so many advantages, and now there are so many people in the world who are hungry. Maybe one day I will try t...

Week 8- 1 Pocket Park When I came to Sydney, I found that the biggest difference between Sydney and Chinese cities is the green spaces and parks that can be seen everywhere. It gives people a feeling of special comfort. I know that most Chinese cities are space limited, have a large population and cannot have the large-scale green space system. So today I went online to find information about pocket parks. Pocket parks are often built on a vacant building or on irregularly small plots of land. They can also be created as part of the public space requirements of large building projects. They can provide greenery, outdoor event space as well as children's playgrounds, and can also be created around monuments, art projects.

At only 60 feet by 120 feet...
