My Green Living Tips

I still can't get over my wonderful experience in being featured in Moments (Net25, Saturdays at 6:30 pm). Aside from talking about being a Mom, I shared some tips on "green living":

1. Use compact flourescent light bulbs instead of incandescent or halogen lights.
2. Minimize use of lights especially if you have big windows. When building a house, do keep this in mind!
3. Do not waste water. Don't leave faucets running.
4. Start your own herb or plant box. Grow your own herbs for cooking!
5. Unplug appliances when not in use. Most important is the TV / entertainment system. Even if on standby, they still consume electricity.
6. Use bayongs or the eco-friendly bags when going to the market, grocery, and when shopping.
7. Use biofuel for your car.
8. Segregate your waste. Use excess plastic bags in lining your waste baskets for disposal.
9. Do not throw used bulbs and batteries in your regular waste bin. They should be disposed of properly (either I give them to the condo maintenance team or to our company since they have proper procedures in disposing them).
10. Patronize organic products!
11. Reuse paper and recycle them.
12. Talk about green living to your friends and discover more ways in promoting environmental awareness - books, websites, seminars.

I'll be sharing new ways from time to time. I hope that other people will be more eco-friendly in their daily living. Like what I said in Moments, it's about time.
