Going Green

March 9, 2010

“What have you done lately to be better stewards of this planet?” That was a question a good friend posed on Plurk, a microblogging site similar to the more popular Twitter. The friend of mine who posed this question is one of the few people I admire when it comes to living a good life. She genuinely cares about the environment, about the Philippines and the Filipino people, about eating healthily, and about living life to the fullest. I read the replies and felt quite glad that people are starting to take action to save our planet.

Global warming is no joke, and it is a matter not to be taken lightly. For other people who simply can’t afford to worry about the environment (because they primarily worry about where their next meal will come from or if there will even be a next meal), more fortunate people like us should do what we can to save what is left of our slowly dying planet. One step at a time is the way to do it. Little things, when you add them up, will make a big difference in the long run.

I replied to my friend’s Plurk, briefly summarizing what we in our household do to be a little kinder to Mother Nature. Incidentally, another friend of mine just wrote about global warming in his blog, which gave me an a-ha moment to further elaborate and to share to everyone how we in our home are going green.
