Saving Mother Earth

It rained so heavily when I woke up this morning. Was hoping that it would stop by the time I was about to leave for work, but no it didn't. It was so difficult to drive in the dark + heavy downpour. It rained again when I was on my way back from work. Rain. Rain. Rain. Wet. Wet. Wet. Cold. Cold. Cold.

(Reminding myself to look at the bright side) There's no need to switch on the fan while I sleep. Conserve energy for the Earth.

Today is THE day. Earth Day. It got some reasonable coverage on radio and the newspapers. What had I done today for Earth Day?

1. Turned off my office PC monitor before I went out for lunch. (In fact, I do this every day!)
2. Succeeded in convincing my lunch mate, Chung, not to pack lunch. (2 plastic bags, 2 plastic spoons and 2 Styrofoam packs saved)
3. Turned off the water tap in the washroom (Someone was careless!!!)

But looking around, the majority of people will never change their habits. It's sad and it's true. I agree with you David. Wipe all humanity out of this world!

CLIMATE CRISIS SOLUTION

By planting trees, you can reduce home cooling costs by as much as 50%.

Consider bamboo as bamboo stores more CO2 and generates 35% more oxygen than an equivalent stand of trees.

CLIMATE CRISIS SOLUTION

Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) last up to 10 times longer than traditional bulbs and use only a fraction of the energy.

If a million people each replaced just 1 incandescent bulb with a Compact Fluorescent (CFL), we could eliminate more than 200,000 tons of CO2 emissions.
