Be environmentally friendly as much as we can

by specky on February 6, 2010

What are some of your ideas to be more environmentally friendly? Other than reducing the use of plastics, reusing whatever we can, recycle wastes, etc, there’s something I just learned today, which is to compost. It is actually a way to recycle waste by using composters to return to the ground what we reap from it.

How responsible are we towards the environment? As my child grows up, I find it to be more and more important for us to be as sustainable as possible for our future generation.

Recently a friend had an unexpected windfall. It’s not a large sum of money but it’s quite a bit that she could save up or consider spending on something that she likes. She’s been looking for entertainment centers for her home but since it’s quite a big ticket item, she’s held back till now. Now that she’s gotten some money, she’s more tempted to get it now.

What would you do with an unexpected windfall like that? To me, I would prefer to have it saved up or invested. I think that would make me happy. What say you?

How brand conscious are you?

It used to be that in the last 10 years or so people seemed to mind more about using branded items that it is the case these days. Or is it just me who has changed? Maybe not so much in the case of truly luxurious brands like LV and Gucci for the ladies, but [...]

Do you think Wi-Fi is harmful?

What do you think of the radio waves or whatever frequency stuff that we don’t get to see with our naked eyes? Do they adversely affect us? I ask because I wonder if connecting the laptop to Wi-Fi frequently actually causes us to absorb whatever wave or energy there is harmful. Everyone talks about the [...]

Anyone know of any hemorrhoids treatment? Someone asked this question the other day and since I’m no expert in the medical field, I don’t think I can answer it. I did tell the person to consult a doctor on this but I don’t know why he shies away from the doctors.
