Green Hopes: January 2010

Friday, January 1, 2010

Hello there green hoppers!!!
So here we are in the year 2010! Happy new year, everyone!
Just like others, I’ve written down my list of New Year Resolutions and ready to share it…

This year, I will do the following…

1. I will campaign to raise more awareness about the great apes!

2. I will reduce the amount of waste & keep on recycling!
-use less paper (remember to use the “print preview” before you hitting PRINT!)
-stop using disposable products such as paper towels and plastic cutlery

3. I will plant more trees
-with Eco Warriors Malaysia
-help neighbourhood schools with their gardens
-grow a garden at home, yes!

4. I will use reusable bags when out shopping

5. I will drink green
-use refillable cups
-avoid plastic water bottles (simpler and safer to carry water in a water container or at least minimize the use of plastic water bottles)

6. I will lose weight
-classic weight loss tips—eat fresh vegetables, haha.
(after all, green women are not supposed to get fat)

So what are your resolutions?

Love,
-Siti Hani Ahmad Zuraidi-

Introduction

This is my first time on the blog. I am Rossiti Aishah Rashidi, a mother of five wonderful children. Siti Hani is my third child and she is just amazingly loving and caring towards animals. My other children are also animal lovers.

This blog is created in order to understand what “Green Hopes” is about and what does “being green” means.

“Green Hopes” as the word itself translates, an optimistic outlook for the future. Only if we desire enough and work hard enough to care for Mother Earth and all its creatures, only then we can make sure that Mother Earth can provide for her creatures now and forever. We need fresh water, good food and a clean environment to flourish. Our animal friends need their habitats protected so they can have a good home, plenty of water and good food.

Everything we do has an impact on the Earth whether it is the food we eat, how we live and play, the toys we play with, or the clothes we wear. All these come from planet Earth. How they are made and how much of them we use is very important to our environment.

So every day, please act green and continue to make “Green Hopes” alive and well. Let’s take the green steps to lessen our impact on Earth. To take green steps is as simple as following the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. By taking these steps we can protect our planet and all her creatures.

If we love our family, care for our friends, treasure our children and continue to admire nature, we must be guardians of our environment instead of being agents of destruction.
