   this artical i saw in a book,i think is very useful,so want to share with my friend.
   1.Limit your buying.before deciding to buy something,write the name of the item on a piece of paper.if you still wangt it after a week,then you can purchase it. Celebate a "Buy Nothing Week"every month.
   2.Limit your use of credit cards.it's easy for students to get credit cards,but they make buying too easy.And they end up making people buy too much.Leave your credit cards at home when you go out.
   3.Buy second-hand goods.Simple living followers don't mind if something is old,as long as it funtions well.Buying second-hand products saves money and the environment.
   4.Drink boiled water.Drinks sold in plastic bottles consume energy when they are produced.The bottles also cost money to recycle.
   5.Eat fewer convenience foods and snacks.Forzen or pre-packaged foods ruin your taste buds and are often unheaithy.
   6.Hand-wash your clothes.the extra effort will give you exercise,relax your mind,and provide a chance to socialize with others who are doing the same.
   7.Use your mobile phone less.Twenty years ago,most people didn't have cellphones and survived.Control your desire to call friends and wait to talk to them in person.
   8.Eat less meat.you don't have to become a vegetarian,but once in a while eating meatless dishes will be good for your body.
   9.Ride bikes or buses.Don't think of owning a car as a symbol of success.A car will complicate your life:you'll need to pay for insurance,gas,repairs,safety inspections and parking.
   10.Travel to rural places.Go planting or picking on a farm.Get a little sweaty.The closer you get to nature,the more you'll understand the joys of simplicity.
