  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

    Day to day we use many items that we can actually incorporate the "R" like recycle paper/plastic bags we receive from our shopping, reduce water wastage when taking bath during hot days, refuse bags from purchases instead bring our own bags, repair our stand fan/cooker/ at our local repairman instead of disposing and getting a new one, repurpose used plastic pet bottles and use them for potted plants....many more ideas can be derived from the Google.

    The more you get involved the more you realize that you could have done more, only needed a little push and it moves like a bulldozer, happy to be part of this challenge, it's really inspiring, Thank you AMD GO GREEN team.

    feels good when you do something together with your family and friends who endorses the save the earth concept, may many more follow the steps and make the change :)
