Earth Day Reflection

What did you do for the Earth on Earth Day? Taking stock of my small actions on how I try to make the earth a better place.

I:

make it a point to switch off all the lights, fans and computer when I'm not using to conserve energy;

bring my own environmental bags to market on Sunday and say "no" to plastic bags (not always successful but still making an effort);

save papers by printing on both sides, squeeze as much information on one page to prevent spilling to the next page; use recycle papers

collect rainwater (as I stay on first floor) to water plants or wash the walkway;

don't use the heater when I'm bathing except on rainy days;

always wipe my pots dry before I cook or boil water to conserve energy used to evaporate the water;

use a mug for brushing my teeth instead of letting the water run;

educate my pupils on the importance of being environmental.

There is room for improvement. Hope I can do more for the earth.
