Earth Hour

Earth Hour.. Do u think this s a good way to remind people to save the earth?
I doubt so.. So far I only heard of people asking each other how to spend that 1 hour in the dark. No one seemed to know the real meaning behind..

I thought of some small small things that every one of us can do EVERY DAY- not only on certain day because of some campaign:
- Avoid using plastic bags
I find it a great wastage when you are just buying a single item that can be placed in ur bag conveniently, or worse, when you are going to use the thing immediately after you step out of the shop, for example an ice cream. Reduce usage!

- Avoid take-aways
When you can just sit in the canteen and enjoy your food serve in plates or bowls, why not? Why bother to pack the food with polysterene and plastic bags? Although they do not seemed to be melting when the hot food is poured into them, but you can never know the toxins released once the chemicals is heated by the piping hot food

- Set your air-con temperature to a moderate one!
I know air-con s a great invention, n i enjoy it too. But why must we set it to 18 degree n make every1 wears jacket or trembling v goosebumps? Just set it to, say, 25 degree, where everybody does not feel hot, and do not feel cold! We are in Malaysia, a tropical country. But sarcastically, but my peers from UK said they actually cant stand the air conditioned lecture halls!

So, please try to incorporate these into ur daily life as a more practical way to save the earth!

same opinion!

best way to save electric in a comfortable way: tune air-cond to 24 degree and on the fan to volume 3.
