Thoughts on Earth Day

To celebrate Earth Day, my roommate and I have decided to do a few things to conserve our resources:

1. Turn on either the heater or the air conditioner, not both at the same time. ( Yes, we should turn off both indeed.)
2. Toss the newspaper in the recycle bin, instead of the trash can across the hallway, for the sake of convenience.
3. Buy less 100 calories packs. Hopefully, the aluminium packaging we saved will not turn into fat around our waists.
4. Stop buying and using air freshener and hair spray. Okay, hair spray is permitted under certain emergency circumstances.
5. Print notes and readings on double pages. Estimate the chance of reading the readings before printing them.
6. Eat less beef and cow products. (I learnt from the last neighbourhood newsletter meeting that not eating beef alone can save us a signifciant amount of CO2 produced. )
7. Start doing what I have just put down.
