Sustainable Lifestyle
Day by day Plants – I am the Founder of Day by day Plants (DBDP), a blog sharing plant-based ways to reach a more sustainable lifestyle. I believe that food is a way to reconnecting with nature. The first step is reconnecting to the place where we live, from the local seasonal produce, traditional uses, culture, and savoir-faire. Then, getting inspiration from other cultures, and learning new sustainable ways to prepare tasty and healthy food. Finally, exchanging experiences and collaborating. I have designed and created this blog using WordPress. As seen in the Sustainable Development section of Hôtellerie-Restauration – Académie de Versailles of the French Ministry of National Education and Youth.
Sustainable Tourism
Yidalizhixin – Yidalizhixin is the blog I created on the occasion of the Business Visit organized by the Region of Umbria, Italy, for the touristic and cultural promotion of the region. Umbria is known as the Green Heart of Italy, so I called the blog Yidalizhixin (意大利之心), meaning “the heart of Italy”. The aim of this project was to introduce the region to the Chinese people living abroad and wanting to have an authentic experience of the Italian culture, savoir-faire, and nature. Through this blog, I offered a translation service to local small and medium-sized enterprises. Among them, NUN Assisi Relais & SPA Museum, Rocco Ragni Cachemire, and Sapere Food Magazine.
