Turn off your lights...



I dread to read the newspaper, or tune in to any of the News channels in ASTRO... why? If it's not about the economic gloom its about the sea level rising up, the hole on the ozone layer getting bigger, weather patterns are changing, freaky storms, droughts, floods, La Nina and El Nino effects. Come to think of it, look at what we have done to our own home...

If you have seen 'The Inconvenient Truth', you'd agree with me that we are slowly wasting and destroying our own home. So what can you do? You can start by being more responsible towards how we use our energy.

1. Turn off the lights when not in use. (Simple as that....)

2. Turn off the tap water when brushing teeth. (Use a cup or a glass to gargle)

3. Recycle news paper, tin cans, can drinks, glasses, etc (Place them at the recyclable centre)

4. Water your plants sparingly (Don't just hose, Use buckets of water)

5. Car pool or bette yet, take the LRT!

6. Bring your own shopping bag when u do groceries

7. Left over foods can be turn to compost! Recycle!

8. Shop and buy produce that are eco friendly!

9. Use the fan, minimize the usage of Air-conditioners.

10. Think before you buy something....

And don't forget... to switch off all your lights on Saturday March 28th at exactly from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm...

I'm planning to get some friends to come over and when we switch off the lights, we see if we can see the stars....

So... TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!
