I pursue the following as hobbies.2 　　Buy second-hand items. People throw away clothes, shoes and bags when they can still be worn. These items are often sold at a cheaper price in flea markets or charity stores than when you bought them new. Once in a second-hand market, I got an outfit at a very low price to wear for attending a public lecture.Recycling items in this way, rather than buying new ones, is very environmentally friendly. Also, vintage clothing and retro fashion are trendy right now, with a huge number of followers across the world.3 　　Share items. Some domestic products are not often used.CDs, magazines and books have the same fate. Sharing these items with a“share group”on the Internet or with friends is a good way to get the best value from the product and is cheaper than everyone buying one.4 　　Clothes swaps. A group of friends get together with the items of clothing they no longer wear, which others can then take home. It is fun and also a great way to revive your wardrobe without going shopping.5 　　Grow plants and flowers. If you have a balcony in your home, growing green plants or flowers is a good way to enrich your life. It’s good exercise and is a chance to enjoy the sunshine and labor, something people don’t have the opportunity to do frequently. You can also buy plants to grow inside. The seeds that you buy are cheaper than buying a plant from a shop that’s already grown. I also advise transplanting wild ones from the field into our home, which can flourish better than the ones from the shop and require less care. I give plants and flowers I have grown as gifts to my friends.What message does the author have for us?
