summer is getting colder and winter is getting warmer.

doesn't anyone think that there is a serious problem in the world?

unpredictable and high impact earthquakes, tsunami and bush fire are happening round the world.

doesn't that trigger anyone to be more environmental friendly?

yes, there's only so much we can do.

A lot of the emissions are largely produced by commercial and industrial developments.

nevertheless we can do our part by taking note some of the stuff that's part of our everyday life.

things like:

1) switching off your work computer if you don't need it. does it take that long for you to switch it on again rather than just log back on? I'm not convinced that you are that eager to get back to work.

2) save paper. the usual practice of printing both sides. technology has risen in recent years that we don't really need paper anymore. try paperless services for bank statements and bills. Many a time, you wont even look at them.

3) switching off the main power of electrical appliances rather than leave it on standby.

4) switching off any power before you leave the house. Safe procedure and save costs.

5) and of course, reduce the number of plastic bags. Never really understood why people take plastic bags when they only bought a bottle of water or a packet of food. Is it that disgraceful that you are eating the packet of food and not some gourmet food? if so, why buy it?

The point is, every little thing is a step to reduce carbon emissions. I'm not being a Nazi here to suggest switching off the fridges, change your lifestyle to buy non-plastic bottles, eating less or reduce the number of times that you go to the toilet.

All I suggesting is, take note of our actions and save where we can. Is a small part that we can do to give back to the wonderful nature that the world has given us.
