Hi Friends,
How many of you out there who are reading this blog observed the "Earth Hour"? If you did, wonderful. But now what? Do we go back to our old bad habits? Remember, people in Japan and elsewhere are still suffering from lack of electricity, clean water, food, etc. Why not make this a daily ritual....saving the earth and minimizing wastage of food, water, etc? Here are some thoughts:
1) Sleep one hour earlier. Off all the lights and power sources that are not required. Sleeping early is also good for your health. You can start the day bright and early and you can get more things done.
2) When bathing or washing hand, use water economically. Do not let the tap run while you soap yourself.
3) Eat only what your body needs and avoid throwing away food. In a buffet line, sample the various dishes in small portion so that you know what you like and what is so-so. And remember, if you over indulge then be prepared to pile on the weight. As you grow older, you need to eat lesser and lesser. It will be less of a struggle to get rid of the weight.
4) Check your food stock regularly in you store. We are all shopping addicts, we tend to buy things we don't need or buy the same things without checking whether we already have them. Use up the stock you have before your buy new ones.Make sure you do not let food items to expire.
5) The transportation system in Singapore is very efficient. It takes about 20 minutes to travel from Serangoon Central to Vivocity by Mass Rapid Transit (MRT- the train ). The same journey will take half and hour or more by car depending on traffic and you incur additional cost for parking. Taking the train will cost you about S$2.50 but car will cost you about S$10 or more. Do you still want to drive? Save the environment by taking public transport.
There are other ways you can save the earth. Everyone can play a part.
Cheers,
Mark
