How to Go Green Right Now©

by Anoka Abeyrathne©

1. Skip bottled water! - Yep take your own bottle of water. It can save the piling up of over one million tons of plastic!

2. Buy quality electronic and household items - this way you use them for longer and don't dispose easily unlike cheap stuff that break real easy.

3. Recycle - seen the awesome trash bins in British Council? try it out at home, compost your bio-degradables, make gift wrap out of waste paper (contact

me for tips! ) and send only plastic in your trash.

4. Sell and earn - sell your old clothes to thrift stores and earn! also sell newspapers, glass bottles and metal to places who wiegh and Pay you! :D

5. Consume more native food - this helps to bring up the economy and put down exports which bring in loads of non-degradables to Sri Lanka.

6. Walk - quit taking that elevator, you are already getting flabby! try out some stretches and get your own personalized workout (yep, contact me again for

gym related stuff)

7. Light up - use LED bulbs or CFLs. The best ones is LEDs which consume way less than CFLs and safer that CFLs since CFLs contain Mercury!

8. Air dry - your clothes and your hair. Like kettles, hair dryers consume a lot of energy since they heat up in an instant.

9. Participate - in policy dialogues, forums, online. Voice out, use media effectively. Quit being apathetic and letting others decide (and ruin)

your future!

10. Go Organic - food, clothing, cleaning products, body products, everything can be bought or made. These lack killer chemicals that

cause cancer and other insane diseases. Kill two birds with one stone much? :)

to be continued later :)

Keep on participating in the GLYP movement. Do you part to make a change!
