@另类生活方式: 新加坡独特地不消费者

图片取自: https://freeganinsingapore.wordpress.com

这篇文章讨论了新加坡不消费者（FIS）与其他国家的不同之处。

不完全拒绝消费主义
与其他国家的自由主义者相比，不消费者在新加坡并没有完全拒绝由于法律和不同心态而产生的消费主义。不消费者在新加坡仍然必须支付诸如食物，住房和医疗等基本的人类需求。即使您可以找到过期的食物或蔬菜，不消费者在新加坡总体而言，像我一样，仍然会花钱在食物上，例如养殖牛奶饮料，参加社交聚会和我们喜欢的食物。

搭帐篷住在海滩，公园或任何公共场所都是违法的。为了在土地稀缺的新加坡提供庇护，我们住在政府组屋。即使在偿还了住房贷款之后，也存在日常性费用，例如水电费，税收等。

即使获得政府津贴，医疗服务也很昂贵。因此，不消费者在新加坡购买保险。

少工作
并非所有不消费者在新加坡都能停止工作。对于那些没有工作的人来说，我们依靠的是储蓄或投资收益。政府通过针对低收入新加坡人的计划提供额外的政府支持。大多数的不消费者在新加坡的有工作来支付账单或养家糊口，因此我们是部分的不消费者。

分享
在大多数国家/地区，但在不消费者在新加坡中，共享是很常见的。 FILIPOREAN PROJECT，由“新加坡F不消费者”创始人，科林.刘发起。不消费者在新加坡成员将垃圾箱中的潜水用品交给200名菲律宾家庭佣工。通常运费由他们或捐助者支付。这是新加坡最大的支持菲律宾穷人的非官方慈善机构。由不同地区组成的较小的共享组用whatsapp或Telegram应用程式来共享。

BrainTeasers: Cross Fire 穿越火线

Image from: Mewatch.com Country: China Genre: Gaming, Time Travel Release Date: 2020 Rating: ★★★ ★★ I just finished watching this drama on Mewatch.com. This is one of the best dramas that I have ever watched, especially since it is on esport. Initially, I wanted to watch it due to an esport drama, but it turned out to be such an excellent drama. The drama is about 2 esport players for Crossfire game, XiaoFeng (Seven), a team leader for 1coin team in the year 2008 and another is XiaoBei (North), team leader for Continue team in the year 2019. They somehow managed to contact each other through this game during an accident. With this encounter, they later managed to realize who each other is and they helped each other during different time eras to try to make some changes that happened. Through this, XiaoFeng managed to win the first CrossFire competition in China and XiaoBei managed to form an esport team and continued to compete CrossFire as a professional player. ...

@Lifestyle: My Reasons Becoming A Partial-Freegan

Reject mindless consumerism I chanced upon freeganism when reviewing my investments. I just left my stressful job (details in another post ). I dreamed to retire from work by age 45 but had no concrete plans then. I felt freeganism is a path to fulfil my early retirement dream. The idea behind freeganism is to get what you need for free and use your money only on necessities. I joined the "Freegan in Singapore" Facebook group, where Colin Lau's articles on freeganism impress me. I started dumpster diving and managed to rescue mostly merchandise and occasionally food. I spend money on bills, insurance premiums and food. Below are my reasons for becoming a partial-freegan: Sick of work. Mainly due to office politics, backstabbing, lack of job satisfaction and Information Technology (IT) industry are always fire-fighting. Felt physically and mentally tired. Low pay jobs have their stress and problems. Want to quit working for money forever. No idea why I earn money....

My Filipino Project Giveaways

The "Filipino Project" is started by Singapore freegan founder, Colin Lau. The project collects usable small items (clothes, bags, kitchenware, luggage, bed sheets, curtains, blankets, stationery, soft toys, plastic toys, shoes, electrical and electronics, lingerie, etc) and gives them to Filipinos. They pack these items into big carton boxes and ship back to their hometown in the Philippines. The Filipino groups pay for the shipping costs usually. These shipped items are then given to their family members, relatives, or church members as some are so poor, they can't afford a meal. Some items are sold to pay for their essentials, like food, electricity, etc. Visayas group that came to my place. Still have 2 ladies that not in the photo as they came later. This is my 7th giveaway to this project on 14 September 2019. Below are the giveaway items photos. This time round I have 13 boxes packed with clothes, bed sheets, bags, curtains, blankets, toys, and statio...
