Large envelopes with work patterns, magazines and galleys will be sent to you, so remaking them into small envelopes using paper patterns before sending them out for waste paper collection is a great pleasure in my life (photo: provided by the author).
Epidemics, disasters, old age … Even though it is such a convenient and prosperous era, the future is full of anxiety for some reason. Meanwhile, Emiko Inagaki said that she retired early at the age of 50, and even if her lecture income became almost zero due to the corona illness, she enjoyed a “life without buying” without patience. We are pleased to present the 48th serialization of the author’s diary, which practices the strongest lifestyle in times of anxiety.
Is “eco costs money”?
By the way, until the last time, if you set the goal of life to be ecological, you will have no choice but to enjoy “living without spending money” automatically and without any patience or defeat. I wrote that.
This is the 48th serialization by Emiko Inagaki.
By the way, I think that there are many people in the world who think that eco is the opposite image, that is, “eco costs money” or “after all, it is a rich hobby”.
This probably comes from the fact that eco-friendly products are expensive.
Certainly, generally speaking, “eco” products are more expensive. For example, in terms of foods, pesticide-free and pesticide-reduced rice and vegetables, seasonings and processed foods made by traditional methods are naturally expensive because “Temahima” is reflected in the price. The same applies to clothing made from pesticide-free cotton.
So, it seems that it is not strange for some people to think that it is “Okanemochi after all” that you can choose and buy such a thing.
So is that really the case?
As for me, I certainly often buy high-priced ones. You can buy tofu freshly made at a nearby tofu shop, so it costs 150 yen each. It’s not uncommon for supermarket tofu to cost less than 100 yen, so it’s certainly expensive.
Natto is also packed, and the one with sauce produces too much plastic waste, so buy high-quality natto with no sauce and a simple container. 90 grams 160 yen. It is not uncommon for 3 packs (around 130 grams in total) of 100 yen or less for general natto, so this is also expensive.
