WHAT I LEARNED:

1. Enviromental Friendly Practices at home

Use cloth towel to wipe kitchen work tables and counters instead of using paper towel. Cloth towels can be reused.

Washing car with a hose waste a lot of water, wash your car with water in a pail.

Use the washing machine when you have full load. This saves energy and water. You can also use the run-off water to wash the floor.

2. Enviromental Friendly Practices at Office

Replace artificial plants with natural one. Promote a green enviroment and mantain adequate oxygen content in the office atmosphere.

Use your own mug in the office instead of using non-biodegradable styrofoam cups. This helps to reduce waste. Make your drink in bulk and have it together with colleagues. This saves energy and more sociable.

Walk instead of driving to have a meal as it save fuel, reduces air pollution and also cut down packaging materials (reduce waste).

3. Enviromental Friendly Practices during Shopping

Use non-disposable products. This can reduce waste and save resources. Disposable diapers are not completely biodegradable.

Select product with less packaging. More packaging means more solid wastes. Buying in bulk is cheaper and save packaging. Buy refillable items.

Select CFC-free enviroment-friendly or energy efficient appliances. CFCs can damage the ozone layer and caurse global warming.
