Lights On, Lights Off

Audi (automobile) says your car should save energy when it's not running. It's as simple as that.

It's better explained here, so watch the tvc!

Ellie's Science Experiment

I have no idea if the blogger is a grade school kid or a university champ. What matters to me, really, is that Ellie's blog is of great environmental cause and it's got me hooked, although if this was drug addiction, then my consumption would've been in tiny amounts because the updates are not really on a daily basis. Then again, it doesn't matter.

Ellie's blog, simply titled "My Science Experiment" chronicles the progress of his/her how-to-reduce-electricity project, something worth doing for each and everyone on this planet, thereby cutting on carbon emission in the process.

But I digress.

Ellie's posts exude that feeling of hope that if every one of us would commit to saving electricity by turning AND unplugging idle appliances/computers, then the world will be a much better place again. Why not join in this effort, ayt? And it's not called a Science experiment for nothing--all results have been gauged by gadgets and whathaveyous, like the OWL Wireless Electricity Monitor, so we'd know that those are not just random numbers.

Check the site out by clicking here. I honestly think it's a nice effort. Even the url is cute: Ellietricity.

I hope it's an A for Ellie.

Subscription Cards Bracelet

Admit it: most probably, half of the subscription cards inserted inside the magazines you buy end up in your trash bin. The paper, the waste, the loss!

So Timeout New York shares instructions by Alex Lockwood (arguably the best paper folder there is as per article description) on how to recycle those cards instead of just throwing them away--by turning them into colourful bracelets (though the durability of this is yet to be contested). I personally think this isn't limited to just bracelets--think pen holders, paper vases, paper weights. Think green!

Go green, people!

The Plastics Counter

Plastic bags consumed this year:

I am not so sure about the algorithm they used to calculate the consumption, but if we are to follow the counter, then we'd be buried alive in plastic waste in a few years! Not something to look forward to, ayt.

Go green and be good to Mother Nature! To read more about eco-waste management, recycling, going green, the works, click here. Please note that the site sells products. But they do have the FAQs there.
