I planned to read another book in the library today, as i walked into the library i spotted a copy of this months Readers Digest, i grabbed it and quickly sat down, you see, in the college library, people tend to take the Readers Digest magazine, read it and never place it back to its original spot, so people like me can't find it till the months over. And i was glad i got this months issue quickly, because almost everything in the mag was about the environment!! yay! For those of you who know me, you'll know that this is my fave topic, reduce, reuse and recycle!
Note: did you know it's not incidentally put it that order "reduce, reuse and recycle" it's actually the steps you should take when using something, first you think of how you can reduce consumption, if you can't, can you reuse it? and finally if both are impossible then recycle it! I leart that today when i read the mag.
Loads of interesting and informatice articles about the environment. Malaysia wastes 45% of food and only recyles 5 % of it's wastes...it's sad i know. There was also the article on stem cells, you know they're on this new thing about saving the baby's umblicle cord for the blood cells, well this tells you loads about it. There was an article about the Berlin wall,before this i heard about the Berlin wall but i didn't actually know what it was. Here's what it's about in a few words, it's a wall built by the Nazi's (if i'm not mistaken) to divide Berlin into East and West, West was the free side and East was under communist control. Of course they have broken it, not all parts of it though, there's a museum and i think they remade part of the wall to allow people to experience and see it, added with the things they added to the wall to prevent people from climbing and escaping to the other side.
Now people! you too can help to save the enviroment, it's really simple and the little you do goes a long way!! All these are examples of things you excounter everyday, so keep them, wash them and recycle accordingly into the colored bins nearby, please don't just think of getting money for it, it's ok to recycle without getting money for it because it's the right thing to do, think long term people, long term.
1. Plastic bottles you buy (water, coke, pepsi, etc), Big and small size ones!
2. Aluminium cans
3. Newspapers,magazines
4. Papers that you've use and don't want anymore, keep them and recycle! even the little scrap you just throw, maybe you should keep them in the recylcing pile this time.
5. McDonalds, the paper bags that they give, it's paper! recycle! And if you can, ask them not to give you the plastic, just take the paperbag. The Sundae cup they give you? don't throw! wash and recycle!
6.Shampoo detergent, washing liquid, hand wash bottle/containers that are plastic
7. Plastic cups , forks, spoons, containers
8. Glass bottles
9. Tins
For me, if i think it can be recycled i'll wash it and keep it for the next recycling trip, i don't get money for it, but i feel a lot better when i help save the earth.
Just remember these few things, make sure when you want to recycle something it MUST BE CLEAN, don't leave food/ liquid in it because it makes it illegible for recycling.
Now for something on a lighter tone, if you love to read food blogs then i recommend you go through this list of TIMES 50 of the world's best food blogs (click the words). I haven't gone through all the blogs yet, but soon, soon.
Ok that's all, tata, SAVE THE EARTH!!! SAVE THE PLANET!!
