Just like Oprah used to say, everything happens for a reason. There must be a good reason why God let me watched that particular episode, don't you think?</p> <p>The episode still motivates me to do at least one good thing to participate reducing the global warming effect.</p> <p>Now I understand that it matters, even, to unplug the power cord of each of our electronic device when we don't use any. I've been learning to do that for the past few days and get myself used to it more. Well, except for one thing. </p> <p>I still can't stand the lure to keep the radio on even when I'm already asleep. I need sounds around me when I go to sleep, that's all. What a waste of energy! But seriously, I can't have no-sounds state!</p> <p>Oh, and then I've been planning to buy a canvas or cotton bag, so that everytime I shop, I can just use that instead of receiving those non-recyclable (is this the right term?) plastic bags. I shopped a few days ago and while walking around the aisles, I remembered that I had not bought any of the bags I planned before *sigh*. I couldn't find any canvas bag I searched for in the supermarket I went into, so I took the plastic bags the cashierperson gave me.</p> <p>During my shopping hour, I tried to remember what the eco expert told the audience to do when choosing recyclable bottles of water--find number 2 or 4 at the bottom of the bottles. All bottles in that supermarket were number 1 only.</p> <p>Speaking of which, I don't even have any information about recyling area in the city I live in. As a matter of fact, I don't know it's just me or something, but it's not that easy to live in healthy and eco-friendly states here, as there aren't many health products sold--you know, like the ones shown on Oprah. But I believe I should identify more. And I like this new 'task' of being independent in using my own effort to live in green--just don't ask me to plant any seed, just still can't :)</p> http://www.blogher.com/about-effort-going-green#comments Green Life going_green life Thu, 06 Dec 2007 02:32:51 -0600 lifeobserver 30856 at http://www.blogher.com
