environmentally aware Karee??

16th Oct 2008

i dunt need a theme, a celebration to raise my awareness to save energy and the environment, but i was touched by small kids that ellen Dgeneres brings on to her show, as small as 6 year olds, who knows how to recycle, spread the love and care for the environment.

im a malaysian, and like any other typical malaysian, its hard to be seen (ok very rare), in my opinion (oh please dont shoot the messanger..hehe), to be environmentally conscious. i mean just look at the mess we do after a pasar malam nite? i mean yes, most of us will go "oh someone will clean it up" which eventually does, but hw about those idiots that throw rubbish so elegantly outside their car? oh and not forgetting the open fire? oh and the worst, those "dilarang membuang sampah" signage filled with sampah all around it, like malaysian deliberately want to be seen as pengotor. aishh..

well its always easy to point at other people, happily not noticing that for every one finger pointed, there are the rest pointing back at us. and so this question i pose to myself.
am i environmentally aware AND doing something about this?

here's my bit to the environment :

(i) i save energy at the office, half of my room is glass windowed, so i open the blinds and get all the light from outside.

(ii) whenever i 'tapau' food up to my room, i dunt wrap it with a plastic bag (because i already feel bad using polystyrene.

(iii) i give the look to drivers who i catch throwing rubbish out their windows. ( " ,). rafek hates that i do this, fear i might start a fight..haha

(iv) i only flush right after number two (my number one when it has already reached the level of "busuknyeeee" hahaha

(v) everytime i buy just one or two items at 7eleven, i dunt ask them to put in the plastic beg, i just carry them.

(vi) we buy refilled shower cream

(vii) we share our shower?? ha ha ha we tried, but easily distracted la and realized we spend more time compared to bathing alone..kah kah kah...

(viii) i send my dry cleans after wearing it twice

(viiii) i sleep with the least clothing that i can and only have one light on for the whole house

(x) i off the thermos that heats water every morning after making rafek's coffee, and later that day, refill it in the fridge (no reboiling).

and so its relatively little, the things i do.
at least its something, right?
its a start
(ha ha just nak sedapkan hati i la ni..haha)
