“Are there coffee grounds? I’ll bring a pack of coffee back.”
In the idle coffee shop in Thames Town Community, Fangsong Street, Songjiang District, Shanghai, Zhu Lizhen, a 75-year-old community resident, ordered the order and habitually received a pack of free coffee grounds.
“This is a good thing. Put it in the refrigerator to remove odors and use it as fertilizer to grow flowers.” Zhu Lizhen said.
In Thames Town community, coffee grounds are the “star products” of many coffee shops, and are also one of the innovative measures for the community to create a low-carbon demonstration community.
In 2022, Thames Town Community launched a pilot construction of low-carbon communities, carrying out low-carbon transformation of public spaces and publicity and promotion of low-carbon concepts. In 2025, Thames Town Community passed the acceptance of the pilot construction of low-carbon communities in Shanghai Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau and was selected as a low-carbon demonstration community in Shanghai.
This time when ordering coffee, Ju Lizhen used her own cup. “Bringing your own cup can save 10 yuan,” said Zhu Lizhen.

Through such activities, we have cultivated the residents’ low-carbon awareness in a subtle way.” Yao Lili said.
In the town’s low-carbon paradise, some residents in groups of three or three sit on benches to rest, while others are using fitness equipment. “These devices look nothing special at first glance, and I ask for blessings from Lan Mu again. But there are also clever ideas.” Yao Lili pointed to a space walk fitness device and said, “The photovoltaic power panel is installed on the top of this device. When you step on the pedal, the screen will light up, and the speed and heat data will be clear at a glance.” The casual bench next to it is actually a solar charger power bank, with the charging socket located under the seat. “The climbing frames that children like are made of used tires. The low-carbon paradise sign is transformed from a piece of discarded iron sheet. Even the paradise itself was originally a used garbage dump.” Babaylan 1990 cloth drawYao Lili added.

In the special vegetable sale area of Dacheng Fresh Market, the stall owner Maudange quickly disassembled the bundles of vegetables and moved them into his own stall. The classification, coded, and priced. He started a busy day.
“My stall can sell about 100 kilograms of Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw vegetables every day.” Maudange said that before moving the vegetables to the stall, she would always remove the old leaves and wash the mud on the roots. “The vegetables are clean, so it is more convenient for customers to take them back and wash and cut them.” said Maudange.

The good environment of Dacheng Fresh Market is in addition to the awareness of stall owners, but also three transformations and upgrades.
Dacheng Fresh Market is located in the old city of Wuchang District, with more than 60Years of history. “In the early years, stall owners set up stalls on the road, and the sewage for washing vegetables and rotten vegetable leaves were all mixed together, and the environment was a mess.” After living near Dacheng Fresh Market for more than 40 years, citizen Zhang Dongming was deeply impressed by the changes here.
In 2005, the Dacheng Fresh Market began its first round of transformation and upgrading, introducing stalls into the market.
“However, due to the relatively closed market space at that time, Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw in summer, all kinds of smells mixed together, and citizens had a strange smell when they came home after buying vegetables.” Chen Shusheng introduced that at that time, except for old neighbors like Zhang Dongming, few young people or outsiders were willing to come here to visit.

Not only that, the smart screen will also scroll in real time to display the daily guide price of the dishes, so that customers can understand the price of the dishes. “Now you go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. The prices are transparent and the environment is refreshing.” Zhang Dongming found that in the vegetable market, the neighbors in Babaylan 1990 clothes draw are slowly coming back, and there are more young people.
