Support Earth Hour 2011

Hello everyone! Tonight will be a significant night as countries all over the world will unite and participate in Earth Hour 2011. We can all do our share by switching off our lights from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Let's also go beyond the hour, so after the lights go back on, let's think about what else we can do to make a difference.




Allow me to share in what ways we in our family have done so far to help save Mother Earth:

• Planted 1000 moringa trees at our small moringa farm. Environmentalists say moringa is sustainable and good for the environment
• Traded junk for recycling (i.e. aluminum cans and caps, tin cans, newspaper)
• Used natural means of warding off pests in the house and garden like oregano, marigold, milk and leftover coffee grounds
• Regularly utilized the energy-saving version of Google - Blackle for searching on the net.
  
• Stopped the rural folk habit of burning old leaves and grass in the backyard.
  

and more!

Caring for our environment has become a tireless way for me to help. Experiencing the past typhoons that struck our province has made me actively participate, and I still continue to share environmental awareness to others in my own little way.

Happy weekend!
