As an eco-minimalist, Su Yige has maintained an environmentally friendly and sustainable lifestyle for the past three years while studying in Canada. She takes her own bag when she goes grocery shopping and uses second-hand items as often as possible. She avoids almost all paper-related products unless she has to use a public toilet while away from home.

Diligence and thrift are time-honored traditional Chinese virtues. Su's family is a good example of this, according to the native of Weihai, Shandong province. Although they have little formal “green” knowledge, her parents lead a very environmentally friendly life.

For example, the family has used the same hair dryer for more than a decade, and Su remembers many of her mother's clothes from as far back as kindergarten. “As long as something can still be used, my mother will not replace it with a new item,” she said.

“I frequently asked my father to bring the plastic bag back home after dumping our waste in the trash bin. He was unhappy, and argued that instead of making that request, I should go downstairs to dump the waste myself” she said. In another move, her father criticized her for doing too much shopping online. Eventually, they both made steps toward becoming better environmentalists. Her father brings the bag back for reuse and she has only bought two pieces of clothing online in the past six months.

Back in Canada, Su is looking forward to finding a job related to sustainable development in China after she graduates as a computer science major in the summer.

She takes her own bag when she goes grocery shopping and uses second-hand items as often as possible. She avoids almost all paper-related products unless she has to use a public toilet while away from home.( 作为一名生态极简主义者，苏怡歌在加拿大留学的三年中一直保持着一种环保和可持续的生活方式。当她去杂货店购物时，她会带上自己的包，并且尽可能多地使用二手物品。她几乎避免使用所有与纸张有关的产品，除非她必须在离家时使用公共厕所 )” 可推知，苏怡歌很节约。故选 C 。

Her father brings the bag back for reuse and she has only bought two pieces of clothing online in the past six months.(“ 我经常让爸爸把垃圾倒进垃圾桶后把塑料袋带回家。他很不高兴，认为我应该下楼自己倒垃圾，而不是提出要求。 ” 她说。在另一个举动中，她父亲批评她在网上购物太多。最终，他们都朝着成为更好的环保主义者的方向迈出了一步。她的父亲把包带回来重新使用，而她在过去的六个月里只在网上买了两件衣服 )” 可推知，苏和父亲敦促彼此变得更加环保。故选 D 。
