Simple ways u can do to help save Gaia

Firstly for people who still have no idea who Gaia is, Gaia refers to Mother Earth, the very planet we live on.

  1. Avoid Fast food - Fast Food tends to have excessive packaging which increase rubbish
  2. Buy recycled products when possible
  3. Always keep the fridge door close - Decide what u wanna take before opening it
  4. Keep your air-con to a temperature between 24-26 deg C - Your air con works less, saving energy
  5. Bring your own bag when u shop or avoid taking plastic bags from supermarkets
  6. Reuse the plastic bag if u do need to take one
  7. Turn off your lights or electrical appliances when not using - Leaving a photocopier on standby for a night waste enough energy to print hundreds of paper
  8. If your refrigerator is more than 10 years old, u save more using a newer one since it uses lesser energy
  9. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs rather than the standard filament ones
  10. Last but not least - reduce, reuse, recycle
These 10 ways seems simple but how many people actually practice them in our daily lives? Most people say its a habit not to, but if u dun try doing it, how can u make such practices ur new habit. Start now people!
