Ideas for Practicing Car Free Days
Don't use your car for one day a week, a month, or as often as you can.
Work at home one day per week.
Consciously plan your trips for errands such as the grocery store or shopping. Try to reduce your trips by at least 50%. Combine trips. Assess the need for a trip(s) to see if you really need to go.
Buy a Hybrid.
Change your car over to biofuel or buy an alternative fuel car.
Use alternative transportation.
Ride a bike or walk.
Carpool with a neighbor or co-worker. Most counties have a rideshare program.
Keep your car in tune and tires inflated properly
Tips for the home
Get an energy audit on your home and make it more energy efficient.
Replace all of your light bulbs with compact fluorescents.
Put your computer, TV and appliances on power strips and turn them off when not in use.
Purchase and install solar panels.
Reduce use of hairdryers and appliances. Remember, you are beautiful as you are!
Turn down your heat. Reduce your use of hot water.
Support local farmers, think globally, eat locally!
Eat organic food, energy savings range from 40-80% over conventional farming.
Join Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) if it is offered in your area.
Eat vegetarian and vegan meals more often.
環保從何做起？

2. Meditate.

4. Plant a garden.
5. Take a long walk.
6. Explore your neighborhood or your backyard. It's amazing how much you see when you slow down and look.
7. Ride your bicycle.
8. Work from home. (I know this might not sound like much fun, but imagine how much you can get done when you're not commuting. Talk to your boss about doing this more often.)

這些點子都很有禪味哦！
生活要慢慢來、慢慢觀察、慢慢嘴嚼；好喜歡這樣的生活哦！
少開車囉，以後少游車河了！:)

不是看食物哦，請各位看那些盤子和碗。這些盤和碗都是用葉子做成的，是不是很環保捏？
記得小時候，應該是未到8嵗前，印象中打包炒粿條時，食物是用葉子包的。那可不是香蕉葉，聼我母親說那葉子叫‘大婆葉’。很可惜，時代進步得那麽前衛，哪還有人要用葉子包食物。現在在我家鄉還用香蕉葉打包食物的只有一個，那就是椰漿飯。僅有一家用香蕉葉，其他全部用plastic！
最近連參加印度人的kenduri,想要用香蕉葉裝飯的機會都少了！
很希望各個賣食物的都復古，用葉子打包食物！暫時沒復古不打緊，我們就繼續帶我們的飯盒去打包食物吧！
**以上的葉子盤盤碗碗是我的一個同事在游印度時攝的。
Sow a thought, reap an action;Sow an action, reap a habit;Sow a habit, reap a character;Sow a character, reap a destiny.

一波未平，一波又起。
談不完的Global Warming， 現又泛起了另外一個全球性大問題 - Global Food Crisis。
對於 Global Food Crisis, 我還是一知半解； 雖然在CNN看多了相關新聞報道，但實際上我還是MCC ( 英文太差啦，聼不明白主播在講什麽
！ )!
雖然是MCC狀態， 卻也感覺得到這個全球性問題給生活上所帶來的壓力！！因爲很多食物都漲價啦！！！！就拿麵粉來説， 三年前來到阿拉伯時，一公斤麵粉的價格是1.50SR；現在的價格則是4.00SR!!!!膨脹得太厲害啦！！！！！
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
這個世界有著兩面極端，有人快要因爲沒有食物吃而要餓死了，卻也有人因爲吃太多，天天高喊要減肥！!
我可不可以這樣說 - ‘對於食物的節約就是環保！’？

全球民航弃用纸机票
2008年6月1日
（伦敦1日综合电）由全球94%航空公司组成的国际航空运输协会（IATA），旗下约240间航空公司今日起会全面使用电子机票，国泰和港龙亦会遵照规定，印有难明代码和密密麻麻飞行条款的纸张机票正式成为历史。
最近数月发出的纸张机票仍有效，但以后只有少数国家的航空公司仍会发出纸张机票。IATA指，机票全面电子化每年共为旗下航空公司节省30亿美元（117亿令吉），更可令5万棵树木免遭砍伐。
全球首张国际公认纸机票在1933年问世。IATA发言人表示，最后印出的数千张机票会送给业内人士作为纪念，部分会送到各地博物馆展出。
IATA会长将象征最后一张纸机票上的贴纸撕掉。

那天乘搭飞机到亚庇，惊见空中小姐在国内航班也卖香烟了。生意奇好，人人都买。仔细一看，原来不是香烟盒，竟然是饭盒。
食物派到我手上，说实在吃得很不痛快，就因为这个盒子和塑料……
