Greener lives to save the world

Based on previous post about human and mother earth, now, what can we, humble human being whose voice is clearly ignored by politician, rich and famous can do?

We can start living a greener life. We can create greener environment. Can u imagine how good it will be if everybody is trying to live a greener lives?
So, how to live a greener life? Words are easier to be said, you know. Many will think: Ah….. if only me, won’t affect the world. Well... WRONG!!! Small steps leads to great result right?

First: We can reduce the using of fossil fuel by using energy efficiently.
Don't turn on air-con if you're not in the room, turn off your electrical equipments, don't just put them on stand-by mode. Use energy efficient lamps, don't build a house as big as palace if only a small family member who'll live in it (I know houses which are around 1000 meter square, three stories height and contain only 5-7 family members plus 5-6 maid. What a waste of land and energy),
Don't buy car as big as Hummer if you only use it as city car. Use car as needed and use public transport instead (although I can't apply it with Indonesia public transport condition, we don't only arrive our destination filthy, sticky with dust and sweat but also risk of being robbed or sexual harassment). Travel with neighbors if heading same destination ex. mall, church, temple, school office. Walks or cycles.
Second: Bring your own bags or basket to groceries store. Reduce using plastic bags. Plastic need ages (1000 years) to be unravel

Third: Bring your own chopsticks, to avoid using wooden/bamboo dispose able ones.

Fourth: Women, Use cloths pads for your monthly menstruation.
No, not our mum's type but now there are many comfortable and absorb able cloth pads with pretty prints also with wings.

Fifth: For new mums, use cloth diapers instead of disposable diapers which are made of papers and full of chemical. Same goes with disposable baby wipes, please use cloth wipes.
There are many brands and pretty prints of cloth diapers and wipes out there, mostly made and sell by WAHM.

Sixth: Plants trees as many as possible such as in the gardens, side walks, roof, etc. Trees act as world lungs as they breathe in CO2 and release O2 which will help to clear up the air.

Seven: Pile/ divide domestic rubbish into two group.
One dry garbage for papers, tins, glasses etc and wet garbage for scrape foods, etc.
Keep your environments clean. Rubbish will produce methane gas which contribute large portion of glass-house effect.

Eight: Don't order food excessively so it won't be soiled or throw away uneaten.
So many and increasing starving people in the world. How can you throw away your dinner if so many undernourishments children in the world crying with hunger and their parents only able to feed them with plain water to ease their stomach pain?

Nine: Stop Deforestation!
The world is not belonging only by human; so many other creatures live in it. Please consider the other. You will not happy if your neighbor car is parking in your garden, right? So stop the greed and egoistic thinking and respect other living creature. They have the same right as we, human, to live harmony in this world with different pattern.

Ten: Contractor and all real estate empire. Build vertically not horizontally.
Create a greener environment in your estate and provide park as “city lungs“ in your housing project.

Eleven: Reduce using tissue paper, because it’s un-recycle-able, use handkerchief instead.

Twelve: Preserve water by use water efficiently and reduce buying mineral/spring plastic water bottles. Each one little of water bottle needs 16 liter of water to cool down the plastic bottle in process.

Twelve are not enough but these will lead to big result if we apply them in our daily lives.

So, Please... SAVE THE EARTH!!!!
