High.

Two words.
Absolute Bollocks.

Damn. less than a week after complaining about how much i have to spend on petrol for my car the price went up. what luck. and it didnt even increase by 10 or 20 cents but a whooping 78 cents.

Yeah i guess its nature's way of saying
"We're running low on resources. go take a damn public transport or hitch a ride or just waste less fuel"
ok maybe not exactly that la but i think most of us get the message since the price for petrol will not go down anytime soon. in fact, it never will.
simple economics.

Resources-Decrease
Price-Go way high uppp!

Ok la. so the increase of the petrol price sort of triggered something in me. so decided to google some stuff.
so basically here's 26 things we can do to save the earth.


1. Turn off lights.
2. Turn off other electric things, like TVs, stereos, and radios when not in use.
3. Use rechargable batteries.
4. Do things manually instead of electrically, like open cans by hand.
5. Use fans instead of air conditioners.
6. In winter, wear a sweater instead of turning up your thermostat.
7. Insulate your home so you won't be cold in winter.
8. Use less hot water.
9. Whenever possible, use a bus or subway, or ride your bike or walk.
10. Try to buy organic fruits and vegetables if you're concerned about pesticides. (Organic food is grown without man-made fertilizers and/or pesticides).
11. Don't waste products made from forest materials.
12. Use recycled paper and/or recycle it. Reuse old papers.
13. Don't buy products that may have been made at the expense of the rainforest.
14. Support products that are harvested from the rainforest but have not cut down trees to get it.
15. Plant trees, espessially if you have cut one down.
16. Get other people to help you in your cause. Make and/or join an organization.
17. Avoid products that are used once, then thrown away.
18. Buy products with little or no packaging.
19. Encourage your grocery store sell environmentally friendly cloth bags for people to use when they shop, or bring your own.
20. REDUCE, REUSE, & RECYCLE.
21. Compost.
22. Buy recycled products.
23. Don't buy pets taken from the wild.
24. If you have a good zoo nearby, (if the animals are healthy and the zoo takes care of them), support it! Espessially if they help breed endangered animals.
25. Don't buy products if animals were killed to make it.
26. Cut up your six-pack rings before throwing them out.

ok maybe some of the 26 things dont really apply to us living in Malaysia like number 6 & 7. that whole thing about winters and thermostats. like winter? what winter? we're summer all year long. haha.


also the thought of hitching a ride sounded kinda funny in our country. since i dont think anyone does it.
no, its not the one where you and a bunch of friends decide to get together and get on the same car to go somewhere.
im talking about the ones where you just stand on the roadside while swinging your thumb back and forth hoping some kind soul will give you a ride.

i really can't imagine myself going up to a driver and going like
"Bang, boleh pergi one utama tak?"

i really dont know why but i think its a bit weird/funny.
but that's just one person's opinion right.

but whatever it is i think its time most of us step up right now and do something to save the earth no matter how small our action is. believe me. it helps.
