Green Living

It has been a while now since I promised to Mother Earth that I will do my best to live a healthy and green lifestyle, as well as to promote "green living" to my friends, relatives, and colleagues. I have been an "environmentalist" ever since high school, but it's just now that I want to make drastic changes in the way our family will live in order to help save our planet. I already started by turning off all appliances (and unplugging them!) when not in use. At first people would find it a drag to do so but later on, it'll be part of your system. It became part of mine. Consumption of water and electricity is monitored too. It's nice that our household help understands this and she does keep track of our consumption. Both of us get really happy when we see our bills going down! Maybe I should also look into energy efficients (energy-saving products) to further lower our consumption. Aircon... well, we still use it but only when Eanna gets irritated at night. She loves being in a cold room. Then with food... We cook only what's sufficient. We use organic ingredients as much as possible. A little more expensive, but healthier and safer I guess?

There's still so much that I want to do and maybe I'd read more about green living in my spare time. I hope you, dear friends, will do the same. It's about time. :-)
