It came to me as a big issue when I saw what some of my blog readers were requesting to know when searching my blog and I though.. Hey! Of all the negative impacts I’ve talked about Global Warming, I didn’t mention HOW we can curb it.
Basically I think these rules are already what we know yet we didn’t really make tham a practice.
• Switching off electrical appliances when not in use
• Use energy efficient appliances
• Use energy efficient lightbulbs
• Turn down air-con’s temp higher when room is cooled
• 3R’s
In Singapore, we are always reminded about the 3R’s Reuse, Reduce and Recycle. However how many percent of the people really put it to good practice? I know of people changing handbags so often, and almost everyone taking plastic bags for granted! I personally hate to take plastic bags when out shopping and always keep afew in my bag to be used when the need arises. Why then can’t people adopt this habit of carrying bags rather then taking them and wasting them?
Yes, I agree that many people are not following the 3R’s! But with the recycle bins around in Singapore, I think soon we will be used to recycle things and save the environment!
I agree that with the 3R’s. And have to constantly remind ourselves that we are part of this world. Hence, have to do our part to keep this Earth a much cleaner and nicer place.
I personally carry around a bag. Everywhere I go, I carry my sling-bag. I use it to carry things, no matter what it is: If it’s something wet, though, I put it in another compartment to not get the rest of the bag wet.
It’s easy to be green, or try to. But if we all do our part… we can then blame the corporations. Or sue them. Whatever works.
Yes, it takes effort but it’s worth it, isn’t it?
Anyway, do keep updated with your blog.
