English	With the use of herb stickers, there are fewer and fewer herb stickers, as if the metaphor of "fewer and fewer woods", and the residence of birds is becoming more and more exposed and unstable. We hope that we can subconsciously arouse people to protect the "seedlings" of environmental awareness in their hearts. Through this design, we hope to convey to users that we care about nature and ecology, which means we are also caring about ourselves! While paying attention to human's own desires, we can move forward hand in hand with the surrounding ecology and protect each other.
Native	在日常生活中无论是吃水果还是其他食物，都是需要使用草本签的。每年因为用户对草本签的使用，树木被破坏，很多丛林中生活的鸟类收到了很大的影响。设计者通过隐喻的设计手法，将小鸟周边的草本签隐喻成小鸟的鸟巢，这样就构成了和谐且温暖的桌上风景。每当用户从盒中拿取草本签来进行使用时，拿取的过程，也成为“拆解”小鸟巢穴的过程，因此获得大家的警示。通过本设计，希望对用户传达：我们关爱自然，关注生态，这也就是在关注我们自己！在关注人类自身欲望的同时，可以与周边的生态，携手前行，相互保护。随着使用，草本签越来越少，仿佛隐喻“树林越来越少”、鸟巢的居所也越来越暴露、越来越不稳定。希望能够潜移默化的唤起起人们保护心中那颗环保意识的“小苗”。
