Low Carbon Diet Journal (August 6 - 12, 2012 )

This week we experienced the powerful strike back of our Mother Nature. Even though there’s no tropical cyclone or a low pressure area, many cities and provinces in Luzon were flooded. Many houses were blown by the wind and many crops were devastated. This great damage was cause only by a Southwest Monsoon. This pushes me to care more for our environment.
I experienced very cold nights these past days. And so to make me feel warm I turn off the electric fan and cover myself with a blanket. My normal 25-30 minutes bath time was also reduce due to the low temperature. In that way, water usage was also lessened. And instead of just sitting doing nonsense things I help just help in cleaning our house. I swept the floor and wiped the figurines.
This Sunday I went to the Mall. I then bought a dress, and to my surprise the shop did not use plastic bags instead they put the clothe in a paper bag. And when we go to a fast food chain to eat I notice their signage saying “Sunday : No straw day”. How blessed am I to go to this shops helping to save nature. And in going there, I think that I was also able to participate in their campaign to save our planet.
Even in my simplest way, I know that I’m showing to our Mother Earth. I’m hoping that people would also value our only planet. And I wish that they learn a lesson from what had happen this week.
