A zero-waste life is a lifestyle that hardly creates any rubbish. So, a zero-waste theme store is about   1   people with a number of everyday, practical and pleasant zero-waste products to help them start on a one-stop, zero-waste life journey.

    "Zero waste" or "danshari" was first   2  by a French woman Bea Johnson. "Live a life and try not to create any rubbish; use different methods to protect the earth." she said.

    Yu Yuan, 27, is   3   attracted by this idea.

    She and her boyfriend have lived in Beijing for many years. And earlier she used to be. a customer without thinking a lot.   4__ she saw a video about "zero waste"

    The   5   is about a family of four, and the rubbish they produce every year is placed in a jar.

    After watching the video, Yu wanted to  6   this zero-waste lifestyle with her boyfriend.
