Reduce, reuse and recycle.

Turn off your electrical appliances at the wall. Leaving them on standby with the little red light on still uses up electricity.

Turn off lights and fans when not in use.

When buying products, look out for their efficiency grade and rating.

Use public transport more often. If you really have to drive, try carpooling.

Avoid using household cleaning products containing harmful chemicals. This will get washed down the drain and eventually end up in the sea. You can buy eco-friendly products or better yet, make your own out of natural substances like vinegar and lemon juice.

Buy locally produced food and drinks. This reduces the carbon footprint of your diet.

Eat organic food. They are grown without insecticides and pesticides.

Reduce your consumption of meat and seafood. The number one cause of pollution and destruction to the sea is the fishing industry.

Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. You can save 5-10 litres of water a day.

It rains almost half the year in Malaysia. Collect it to water your garden.

Start a compost bin at home to reduce the amount of trash you throw out every day. The compost will become fertile soil which you can then use.

Recycle your paper. Papers with a clean side can be reused or made into a notepad. If you have to buy paper, buy recycled paper.

Give away your unwanted clothes to charity. There's someone out there who will want that t-shirt that you think is too un-cool for you.

Bring your own reusable bags when you go shopping.

Most importantly, don't be shy to be an advocate of green living!
