How "green" are you?

by Joey

Small actions can lead to big effects.

So, how "green" are you?

Here are some points for you to ponder on:

1. Did you know tissue paper cannot be recycled? Use a hankie instead

2. Did you know about organic cotton? It is cotton grown organically and made into clothes. It's very soft and warm.

3. Did you know about real natural beauty products? It is made of chinese herbs or herbs from New Zealand.

4. Did you know the food you throw away can be remade into soil? It takes 48hours with a special machine and the result is soil.

5. Did you know of furniture made of magazines? They're really comfortable and unique in colours.

6. Did you know of bags made of newspaper, coffee bags and coin pouches made of tires? They look really fashionable, mind you.

7. Did you know rice husks can be made into chopsticks and bowls? Yes, they have found a way to process the unwanted husks into usable items.

8. Did you know of eco-friendly lingerie? Yes, it is now available made from organic cotton and bamboo.

9. Did you know of the electric scooter and bicycle? Soon to be available.

10. This you must know which are electric saving bulbs.

Have you learnt more about saving the environment with the list above?

Before I end, here is something for you to ponder on.

Ask yourself are you a today person or a tomorrow person?

Today person is one who enjoys the present not caring about the future while the tomorrow person lives today but also thinks about the future.

I am sure there is a today in everyone but is there a tomorrow in everyone?
