　　Step 1： Build yourself a home

　　Move into a 1-room log cabin — that you build yourself. Make sure it‘s near a water source， because you won’t have indoor plumbing. Or outdoor plumbing， for that matter. Hello， outhouse！

　　自己建一个家

　　搬进1室的木头小屋——必须是你自己建造的屋子。确保屋子在水源地附近，因为你没有室内管道。也没有户外管道。所以，去室外上厕所吧。

　　Tip：Giving up a bathroom means huge water savings. The average person uses about 80-100 gallons of water a day — most of it to flush the toilet.

　　学会做饭

　　学会如何用盐腌制，熏烤， 腌和把食品装罐，不必有电冰箱。要熟悉做用1个锅做饭：也是就是无论做什么都要在壁炉旁的大罐来做。你已经造了一个壁炉，是吧？

　　Tip：If you live for a year without a refrigerator， you‘ll save around $200 and 1，200 or more kilowatt-hours of energy.

　　小贴士：如果一年不用电冰箱，你会节省200美元左右，节省1200千瓦或更多的能量。

　　Step 3： Embrace dirt

　　Get used to smelling a little gamy： Your whole family will be taking turns bathing in a single tub of water， once a week， with soap you make yourself out of lye and grease. Afterwards， use the dirty bath water to clean the cabin. Now that‘s recycling！

　　拥抱泥土

　　要习惯闻起来有点体味重。因为一家人都要在一个浴盆洗澡，每周一次。用碱液和油脂自制肥皂。然后用洗澡的废水去冲洗屋子。这真是循环利用。

　　Step 4： Give away your electronics

　　Give away all your electronics and enjoy simpler pastimes. Pioneers often pasted layers of newspaper to their walls for both insulation and entertainment. You can also take up quilting and square dancing — 2 more favorite leisure activities on the frontier.

　　不用电子产品

　　不用如何电子产品享受更加简单的过去时光。拓荒者经常将很多新闻报纸粘在墙上来了解信息同时娱乐下。你还可以跳舞——两种边界上受欢迎的娱乐。

　　Not quite ready to shove your belongings into a covered wagon and head into the sunset？ Try bringing a bit of the pioneer sensibility into your modern lifestyle. Just think of all the water you‘ll save by not flushing！

　　学习

　　还没做好准备将自己的物品放进车里并在落日中前行？试着将拓荒者的感觉带进现代的生活方式中。想想不冲厕所就能够节省那么多水。
