This is a Blog Challenge between bloggers imperfectgrandeur and thunderthoughts. Whosoever has the blog with the most number of awesome and best ways that he or she uses daily to save the earth will win honour, pride, reputation and dignity. Readers please rate and compare.
I shall list 11 to usher in the new year since 11 times 16 times 20 minus 1511 equates to 2009.
#1. When I get out of bed, I am careful not to step in any mounds of carbon so as to reduce my carbon footprint. (HAHA, get it! Shit, I'm hilarious.)
#2. After drinking any form of liquid from an aluminium can, I utilise my strengths, and weaknesses to dispose of it in a recycling bin.
#3. At the beach, I am careful to throw away my plastic bags in the rubbish bins available so I do not kill any dolphins or other less adorable sea creatures.
#4. After using my computer, I switch off the power to the CPU and computer monitor after usage weekly so as to reduce my household's overall use of electricity.
#5. When I do my homework, I remind myself to use both sides of the page. In the event that each side is for a different subject, I would then put a note at the bottom to the teacher in charge, to alert them that they have to pass it to the next teacher when he/she is done. Saving time, effort and money.
#6. Whenever I shop for groceries, while holding up hand with my palm facing her, I tell the cashier, 'Please, ma'am, transfer my groceries to a non-plastic bag as I am turning over a new eco-friendly leaf.' They usually smile.
#7. If I did smoke, I would blow the smoke at a 45-degree downward angle so that I diffuses slower into the air. Slowing down the rate at which the Earth would inevitably die out.
#8. If noise pollution counts, I play my iTunes at a socially-acceptable level, slightly lower than a car engine starting up.
#9. When I use tissue paper, I crease it into 8 parts so as to maximise each piece's full potential. Most likely the reason why I prefer the ones which come pre-folded in the small packet.
#10. When I go to the supermarket, I only buy CFC-free items. Even though they're banned, you'll never know when the supermarket would want to clear their 20-year-old stock.
#11. When I breathe, I try not to breathe too hard, so as to not lower the oxygen content of the surrounding air. Global warming is very real and we shouldn't take chances.
I hope you guys learn from this and start saving your own environment. Oh wait, that's mine too. See what I did? I made you think that it was really YOUR environment when in actual fact we share the same environment. Shocking? I thought so too.
