Do you know/remember that 22nd April is Earth Day??? And today is the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day.
To be honest I just remember it when I enter the goggle site and saw the picture below.
Earth Day, from its name itself is so obviously that this event is all about earth - to inspire our awareness and appreciation for our mother earth. The founder of Earth Day is U. S. Senator Gaylord Nelson (Click it to find out more about him.). At first, it started with Earth Week in Philadelphia in 1970 (16 April ~ 22 April). Earth Day Network wishes to become the coordinator of Earth Day globally, asserts that Earth Day is now observed on April 22 on virtually every country on Earth.
To celebrate the Earth Day, I'm gonna share with you some simplest way to save the environment and your MONEY too.
1. Say NO to styrofoam and plastic bags! As my state (Selangor, Malaysia) is now having a "NO Plastic Bag Day" on every Saturday, which you have to pay for the plastic bag on that
day when you request for it.
Last Saturday, my friends and me went shopping at Sungai Wang. We saw a girl bought a watch. When the cashier ask her, "Miss, do you need a plastic bag? If you want, you would have to pay 20 cents for that.". And the girl just said she want it never even think for a second. The watch isn't a giant size watch. She can actually put it in her handbag. Why must she bought the plastic bag just to put that watch????? Does she know that our earth is in danger now??? Thus, to everyone who reading this, PLEASE bring a shopping bag when you go for shopping. Not just only on Saturday. Bring it whenever you plan to buy stuff at any supermarket or shopping mall.
2. Reduce the use of car travel.
Consider using public transportation, walking, cycling and other 'greener transportation'. Some of you might feel that using public transport is an action which can lower your society class but i think it's not. Please don't feel shame in using public transport.
3. When you wash laundry, wash a full load.
Top load machines use almost as much water to do a small load as they do a large one.
4. Don't use straw when drinking.
Isn't that's more enjoyable?
5. REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE!
Recycle everything that's recyclable. Newspaper is one of the examples. Just collect all the newspaper that you read daily and also the magazines. Then, sell it! You can earn some pocket money from it too. =)
TOGETHER WE CAN SAVE OUR EARTH!!!
