Green Minded Si Miko

Green Minded si MikoMar 25, '10 3:59 AM
for everyone
Cge na, aamin na ako. I'm hopelessly, obsessively Green Minded. But let me count the ways:

1. Eat Your Veggies (Check)

Trivia: Taon-taon, 9 Bilyong baboy, baka, bibe, manok, pabo, tupa at kung ano-ano pang hayop ang kinakatay para sa mga
meat-eaters. 1.5 Milyon sa meat-eaters na 'to ang nagkakasakit - early heart failure, chronic illnesses - dahil sa labis na pagkain ng karne. Milyon-milyong hayop uli ang inaabuso at pinag-e-experimentuhan para magamot ang taong may sakit dahil sa labis na pagkain ng karne.

I'm not saying na maging vegetarian tayong lahat. Pero kung gagawin nating ugaliing kumain ng at least 2 days a week on veggies, it will amount to 104 days without meat. Tipid na, healthy pa.

Further note: Have you tried vegetable chicharon? hehehe, sarap, my fave zero-trans fat na chichiria. n_n


2. Plant Some Trees (Check)

To leave the world a little bit better,

whether by healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life had breathed easier
because you have lived,
This is to have succeeded."
------------Ralph Waldo Emerson

Yan, alam ko marami jan, healthy child lang ang ginagawa (Yung iba nga, nagta-try gumawa ng healthy child, kahit parehas naman silang walang matris). Redeeming a social condition is tough, at nauunawan ko naman na mahirap magnurture ng garden sa condo nyo. But at least once a year, let's go out, and each one of us, plant a tree. As pareng Ralph said, "This is to have
succeeded".

3. Love the Environment

As much as possible, galit ako sa plastic. Everytime na mamimili ako sa convenience store, or magte-take out ng pagkain, o kahit sa bookstores na lagi kong pinupuntahan, hangga't kaya hindi ako magpa-plastic. I usually receive dubious looks sa mga tindera tuwing sasabihin ko na "ay, wag nyo na pong i-plastic". So clap-clap for Bench and SM for having biodegradable packaging.


Note: If your fave restaurant is trustworthy, you could skip using straws. Or take vaccines (anti-hepa, cholera, hpv, etc.) This rule does not cover using condom. magcondom pa rin kau. it's rubber, hindi plastic.*

Finally, this blog is a reminder for the upcoming Earth Hour. Let's all be Green Minded, so our future generation can enjoy our environment the way we do today!
