浪费

来中国以前我很关心环境的问题。 我曾经比较严格要求自己不要买不必要的东西,打车,吃肉,因为这些事情都对环境不好。 虽然一个人不能真正地影响这些大问题解决,对我来说这态度的意思是自律. 然而,来中国几乎六个月后,我现在不能否定方便。这里的生活真方便,另外我很累, 就不想复杂地生活。我还关心环境,但不知道办法。

Before coming to China I was very concerned about environmental problems. I used to be a little bit strict to myself about buying unnecessary things, using cars, eating meat, because all these things are bad for the environment. Although one person alone can't have a large influence on the resolution of these big problems, for me this attitude has an ethical meaning for myself. But, after almost six months in China, I can't refuse convenience anymore. Life here is really convenient and I'm too tired to try living in a complicated way. I'm still concerned about environment, but I don't what to do.
