● Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.

4 . Demand for the Chinese tech company's devices （设备） is red hot even though the country's overall market for smartphones is getting smaller. Huawei's China sales rocketed more than 20% in the final quarter of 2019，and experts say that partly due to the US government's global campaign against the company.
“The latest tension between the US and China raised the patriotism （爱国主义） in Chinese consumers”, said Jusy Hong, an analyst at research firm IHS Markit.
He pointed out that some Chinese companies encouraged employees to buy Huawei phones late last year. The moves were a gesture of support after the firms chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in early December at the request of the United States.
Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of 2018, nearly three times as many as Apple （AAPL）, according to data published this week by research firms Canalys and IDC. Apples sales plunged almost 20%.
Huaweis success in China, the worlds largest smartphone market, is more than about geopolitics （地缘政治）. Chinese consumers （消费者） love its flagship, high-end-phones because they have great cameras, cutting edge technology and cost less than the latest iPhones, according to analysts. And by offering a selection of cheaper phones, Huawei is able to target a bigger market.
It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE （ZTCOF）, a rival Chinese smartphone and telecommunications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US government from buying vital American parts for months last year.

Here are some items that you would be much better off buying used:
Cars: The new car smell is unforgettable, but what’s even more forgettable is the fact that the minute you drive a new brand car off a lot, its value drops
Textbooks: These days, even high school text books for advanced courses can cost you more than $200 dollars. Most likely, at the end of the semester, that $200 will end up sitting at the bottom of a pile of junk in the corner of a room
Furniture: It’s no secret that furniture is pricy, and if you’re in the process of decorating a new space with new furniture, prepare for your wallet to be drained. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’re worried about the furniture being worn, just set up a time to go see it before you make the purchase. Flea markets are one of the excellent places for used furniture shopping. Flea markets also tend to have very

9 . Environmental experts warn that our planet is drowning in plastic.
The world’s cities produce 2 billion tons of trash every year. By the year 2050 that number is expected to rise to 3 billion tons. The World Bank estimates that the largest amount of trash today, about 44 percent, is plastic. But we often have to buy packaged goods. And often that packaging is made of plastic.
Now, that may be changing. A new environmentally-friendly shopping model was recently launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. This shopping model, called Loop, aims to replace throwaway containers with reusable ones.
Loop is the idea of Terra Cycle, an American-based recycling company. Its chief, Tom Szaky, told the Associated Press (AP) that “removing plastics from the ocean is not enough. ” He said the point is to get away from single-use packages. Szaky said that Loop is the future of shopping. But it comes from an idea of the past.
He compared it to the “milkman model” of the 1950s in the United States. Back then, someone brought milk to your doorstep in glass bottles and then left with empty bottles. These could be cleaned and used again. The result is zero-waste.
Jennifer Morgan from the environmental non-profit organization Greenpeace also joined in the discussion about Loop at Davos. She said that “Greenpeace welcomes the aim of the Loop Alliance to move away from throwaway culture and disposability”. But Morgan questioned whether companies worldwide are ready to change their business models.
Loop is set to launch later 2019 in three eastern U. S. states, and also in Paris, France and some of the surrounding areas. Then Loop plans to expand to the U. S. West Coast, Toronto, Canada and Britain by the end of this year or 2020.
