1. Shut Down~The average computer left on all day uses nearly 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year, producing more than a ton of carbon emissions. So turn off your computer anytime you're not on it, and eliminate the screen saver function, which uses more energy than the sleep mode. (alamak..kadang2 komputer kat rumah ni.terbiar gitu je satu mlm tak shutdown... aduhhh..rasa bersalah la plak.. .start harini kene shut down okay..Faizzzzz...pelase shut down the pc okay.. sbb faiz je yg main game kat pc tu..)
2. Shorten Your Showers~Low-flow showerheads would be a big improvement. "If they're well designed, the pressure should still feel good," says Laurie David, another prominent activist in Hollywood. "For every two minutes you shave off your shower, you save 10 gallons of water." (hmm...part yg ni susah skit nak apply.....tapi boleh je...dah kata nak selamatkan planet kan...so kenela berkorban skit..hehe... )
3. Pick Safe Paints-According to the Environmental Protection Agency, architectural coatings such as paints and varnishes are the second-largest source of fumes from volatile organic compounds, substances that evaporate at room temperature and react in sunlight to form photochemical smog. Look for cans with "No VOC." We'll all breathe easier.(takpela..umah saya tak bercat pun..pakai wallpaper je dlm bilik..ruang lain..plain tanpa cat..putih sesuci cintaku pada planet..hihi..tp next time kalau nak cat..ala....nippon paint yg free VOC tu kan ada)
4. De-lint the Dryer-Lint builds up after every dryer cycle, reducing the machine's efficiency. Removing it does a lot to decrease its usually massive energy use.(rumah saya tak pakai dryer.. next time kalau pakai..saya apply tips ni okay)
5. How Many People Does It Take To...Compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) use four times less energy than incandescent ones. If every American family substituted five CFL bulbs for incandescent, it would be equivalent to taking eight million cars off the road for a year. Ball says "They cost a little more up front, but they last up to 15 times longer."
6. A Better Toilet Paper-Recycled toilet paper is scratchier than three-ply, but it's much softer on the environment. "It's like switching from whole milk to skim," says O writer Aimee Lee Ball. "After a while the beloved original seems over-the-top." (oo ye kerrr)
7. Stop Junk Mail-Every year 100 million trees are chopped down for junk mail sent to American homes. Contact The Direct Marketing association at The-DMA.org to remove your name from mailing lists of their members. (sekrg sent via emel je...cuma jgnla print yer kalau tak penting)
8. Bag It-Get reusable cloth bags for the grocery store and the dry cleaner. More than 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away every year. ( i love tote bag shaklee...reusable bleh bwk setiap sabtu kan dah tak dpt plastic beg lagi..so pakaila beg ni)
9. Want a Lick?-A cone beats a cup. Why? "You're eating your silverware instead of using plastic," says Matthew Modine, a passionate promoter of earth-friendly policies. "It's all about consuming less, using fewer of the resources needed to make products and packaging."(next time..beli dlm cone..jgn pakai dlm cup tu tauuu)
10. Clean Without Chemicals-Natural cleansers like vinegar and baking soda do a great job without harming the planet. "And," Matthew says, "a little vegetable oil and lemon juice makes a great wood polish." ( betul ni..nnt saya share dlm next entry tentang produk2 yg selamat untuk rumah anda..free from chemicals..yang saya dah rasakannya sendiri..jadi bukanlah iklan berbayar..hihi.)
11. A Mug of Your Own-Every year Americans throw away 25 billion polystyrene cups and 25 billion individual water bottles, most of which end up in landfills. Instead buy a reusable to-go mug and a bottle that you can refill with filtered tap water. Bring your own (to a coffee shop, a meeting), and you cut down on Styrofoam. (ni step paling senang...just make sure ada mug sendiri..or botol sendiri)
