5 Simple Things
You Can Do To Go Green
Everybody talks
about going green but few people actually realize that there are a lot of
simple things you can do to practice green living. This Earth Hour, keep to
your pledges by actually practising useful, practical green living tips.
Skip the bottled water
Bottled water is an unnecessary phenomenon. You don't need to
fear filtered water in Malaysia - so what justifies bottled water? Remember,
plastic waste is one of the most dangerous types of waste on earth.
Get cloth bags
They're handy, often very foldable, and carry a good amount
of weight. Although we have initiative such as the weekly No Plastic Bag
program, many Malaysians remain ignorant to the great amount of litter, waste
and pollution a single plastic bag can contribute to.
Take briefer shower
Cut down on
water waste by reducing the amount of time you're in the shower. Either way
you're getting pretty clean, so do you have to waste water and keep so much of
it running for a shower's sake? Five minutes is considered the acceptable
amount of time to spend under the water, says many green activists.
Pay what bills you can digitally
You don't need
paper bills sent to you every month. You'd be twice as happy if you settled
your payments online: it's quicker, smoother, and doesn't require standing up
or going anywhere.
You're wasting gas unnecessarily by leaving the engine
running while you're waiting. Did you know that you could be wasting up to the same
amount of energy taken to start a car when you idle for longer than ten
seconds?
