chuvaness : Why does a single tablet need to placed in a plastic bag?
why indeed?!!!
i have read somewhere that your re-useable/eco bag used 2x a week for 2 years saves up to 832 plactic bags which is equivalent to 11 lbs of garbage and enough petroleum to drive you 60miles.
food for thought today and tomorrow and everytime you are given a plastic bag
my bangkok trip will not be complete without any shopping! and so with limited time to do some really serious shopping i would sneak from my group and do some shopping on my own
one thing that delighted me in bangkok “mall” shopping (e kasi nga no time to go to the bazaars) is that they are into re-using ang saving the planet too! because the emporium mall is just beside our hotel and office, this is where we would bump into each other while we do our shopping. i bought some dresses and remembered i forgot to bring in with me my reuseable bag because we came from the office. as i prepared to take my purchase, i was feeling bad kasi nga they will be put in a plastic, they handed these really nice paper bags made of recycled paperwith some green reminders : think green, nature never goes out of style !
my favorite paper bag todate!
and then i saw this advertisement inside the mall that i can buy playhound’s limited edition eco/reuseable bag for only 400 bhat! so off i go to the basement level and looked for the bag. the bag is not an ordinary eco tote!
it's a body bag!
it has adjustable starps, you can easily tie it to what suits you. the fabric is so soft, you can fold it into a small square so it fits your purse and you can carry it along with you everywhere. the bag itself is a work of art so it’s stylish enough to carry with you anywhere.
upclose
green head is a dog!
more than that, emporium mall sell this very chic and durable re-useable bag as well for 299 bhat only , this is my pasalubong for my ate. she loves it and guess what, i can borrow it anytime i want
nice right?
emporium mall in thailand offers a complete range of shopping from clothes, to shoes, bags, home appliances and furniture and grocery, too! we bought cheese, dried fruit and nuts and some wine there as well…
Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love.
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
For environmentalists, it’s not only his simple lifestyle that is a touchstone. His belief that change can only be motivated by embracing truth is also valuable in an age dominate by a debate over the severity of climate change and resource use. Commenting on the nature of progress, Gandhi said that:
Speed is irrelevant if you are going in the wrong direction.

ironic nga naman. why would his grandson think that an expensive montblanc pen would be a good way to remember him?
ayala malls celebrate “greenology” starting august. and part of this on sale now in ayala malls are these 6 pieces of designer eco tote bags! cool! for just P400 you get a designer eco tote – P100 goes to world wildlife fund and the rest of the proceeds goes to the designer’s chosen organization. read the rest of this in stylebible.ph.

so, before i left for seoul i have seen ayala malls’ greenology ad along c5. of course the eco totes lauch caught my attention, and soon as i’m back i went to glorietta and searched for them.
the random wrinkling of the bag symbolizes the cracks of Mother Earth caused by our collective abuse. but here’s good news : choose to reuse, reduce and recycle resources today, and we can help reverse the effect in 10 years. made with love, repurposed canvass and tarpaulin, this reuseable tote by michi calica works and looks better than any plastic bag.
we reuse em' all
the bag’s underside is made of re-used tarpaulins to further promote waste management. michi calica’s choice is the earth day network.
Earth Day Network was founded on the premise that all people, regardless of race, gender, income, or geography, have a moral right to a healthy, sustainable environment.

Earth Day Network has a global reach with a network of more than 17,000 partners and organizations in 174 countries. More than 1 billion people participate in Earth Day activities, making it the largest secular civic event in the world.
what can we do to take part? a lot.
as for me, here are what i have done and have been doing, so far…
i often use re-useable bags during shopping – but sometimes i forgot to bring them , so sometimes i use my purse/bag if they fit.
i have reduced consuming drinks in PET bottles used for plastic bottled drinks – but if i am too thirsty and i have no choice, then i purchade one.
if i can help it, i do not purchase take out food stored in styro foam and uses plastic utensils – but often, i end up eating take out
these are baby steps, but small steps collectively will take us a long way…
tomorrow, as our office take part on earth day 2009, we are encouraged to wear green so show support for this event.
saw this at SM marikina supermarket last Saturday. meron na rin akong re-useable bag ng SM pero sana meron pang further discount para ma-encourage ang mga tao to re-use!
and this uses less energy too!
, so sometimes i use my purse/bag if they fit.
