Passage 2

In India, chai is more than just a cup of tea to start the day—the thick sweet drink is an integral part of the rhythm of life. Zach Marks and Rcsham Gellatly have been documenting the culture of Indian chai and the people who sell it—known as chai wallahs.

Tea is India's most popular drink—the country consumes 837,000 tons of it every year. The ritual of drinking chai goes beyond all boundaries, and roadsides are dotted with chai wallahs who serve it boiled up with spices (香料),sugar and milk.

Santosh began selling tea at his shop 15 years ago. The neighboring area in Mumbai has changed dramatically. Many of the small businesses where Santosh once delivered chai have been replaced by large office buildings which he can't enter. But many people working in the new developments have become regular customers, preferring Santosh's chai made with thick milk and fresh ginger to the tea bags available in their offices.

Passage 1

Ian Guppy smiles broadly in his sunny backyard. “Point in any direction,” he says, “and you'll find junk.”The 46-year-old engineer is midway through framing a ten-by-ten-foot greenhouse, made almost entirely of castoffs.

“How many shovels have you collected?”asks his wife, Elizabeth Peirce.

Guppy walks into his workshop, where there are different types of snow shovels, some so new their stickers are still on. And inside the house are more second-hand items, including a suitcase. The couple found most of these goods within four blocks of their home. For them, it's not necessarily about saving money. “I could afford to buy a suitcase,” Peirce says. “But sometimes I see things and they're crying out to be pulled from the trash. There's just so much out there that's too good to waste.”

In Halifax, roughly 64,000 tons of residential curbside (马路边)waste is collected annually. While citizens such as Peirce and Guppy are helping to reduce the amount of waste, the city government is also taking action. The city now holds biannual “Curbside Giveaway Weekends" when residents put out items they no longer want. Similar events are held across Canada.

  • Another venue for exchanging junk is Freecycle.org, an international online network where members can connect with others in their communities and offer up used items they want to give away, or make requests for specific goods. Hayley Paquette, a 22-year-

  • Helen Spiegelman, coordinator of Zero Waste Vancouver, thinks Groszko's sentiment will become more common as global resources gradually decline and the costs of oil and consumer goods soar. Then, says Spiegelman, our own goods—from out-of-fashion bags
  • A. He is sorting out junk.
