You must be eager for the LOHAS wind that is sweeping the world. How to move closer to LOHAS in the shortest time and build yourself into the most IN-LOHAO clan. You may use the following portable weapons.

1.

"Lowood"-love health, love the earth

How much can an independent individual play in environmental protection? This may be a question that many people have thought of in an instant. The conclusion may be that environmental protection should be national, government, and personal strength and influence are minimal. Then, you will find that many people around you are very environmentally conscious, but unfortunately they are only verbal. Act well, occasionally, without longevity.

As a comparison, the attitude of the LOHAS family is: No matter what others do, I want to do environmental protection and I want to live a healthy and environmentally friendly life. Although there have always been conceptual life forms such as environmental protection, organic life, and slow life, then how is the "live" life different? The difference is that many people are still concerned about the sense of crisis of "dangerous and harmful", emphasizing "what can't be done and can't be eaten", in contrast, "Luohuo" emphasizes efforts to actively strive for health Happy days. I think that caring about the environment is about caring for ourselves. As a healthy lifestyle and life attitude, "Luohuo" was quickly accepted by more and more people, and a specific culture was formed. This allows more people to rethink life, rethink fashion, and redefine fashion.

With the popularization of "Luohuo", the corresponding "Luohuo" economy has also become active, and some primitive ecological tourism and original ecological farmhouse restaurants have gradually become hot, and various health concept foods and supplies have also gradually sold, and related Magazine books and services are also on the rise, and some businesses are even discussing building organic apartments. There are also some pure handmade product shops that have already appeared, whose business philosophy is "non-mass manufacturing", "diversity" and "environmental protection".

Some operators have also suggested that they are not simply selling products, but the emotions of daily life between operators. This is the concept of the "Lowood": as an ordinary public, through consumption, through life, support environmental protection, do good deeds, and get a good sense of self, so physical and mental health, everyone will become more and more beautiful And energetic. The process is: do good deeds, feel good and have energy.

What kind of living method should people choose in the 21st century? It has become a topic that more and more people think and pursue.

The quality of life depends on economic conditions, which is probably an inherent perception of people. However, the "Luohuo" believes that the quality of life depends not only on the economic foundation, but also on the concept of life.

It is undeniable that economic status is a prerequisite for determining quality of life, but it is not a key factor in determining quality of life. There are many examples in real life: rich but not high quality of life. The focus of the problem is backward life concepts. For some people, not only did it not create happiness for him, it became the bane. Similarly, some people's income is not very high, but the quality of life is good. The family eats well and dresses well. They also go out to travel from time to time and live a fashionable life. The key is that they can consume in a civilized and scientific way and fully enjoy the fun that modernization brings to life. In fact, this is exactly the essence of "Luohuo".

While some people are still pursuing the vanity and luxury brought by brand-name cars and mountains and sea, the "Lowood" are laughing at those people who are out of date. Because riding on public transportation, eating green organic food, wearing cotton and linen natural fabrics, and using second-hand goods are the current popular lifestyles. It's not about how much material you have, but about making yourself happy with a healthy lifestyle. This makes us see an external expression that is different from other people. In fact, their most essential feature is their unique values: putting ecology and physical and mental health above fame and fortune.

It should be said that "Luohuo" is a collective reflection produced by many wealthy classes at the end of the 20th century after experiencing emptiness in pursuit of leisure and excessive consumption. Happily, many people have begun to pursue and practice a new mode of production and lifestyle. This new "living law" can guarantee human health, happiness and sustainable development. Therefore, seeing the "Luohuo" of the fashion line, many people have found the true meaning of a truly excellent quality of life.
