“How To Get In Shape – Go on a carbon diet.

Forget size zero. Forget Atkins. The new diet in town is ‘the Low Carbon Plan’ – for girls (and boys) who want to reduce the size of their carbon footprint.

If you concentrate on your energy use, you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to lose the first few carbs. You’ve already turned off the TV so that’s a good start.

1. First, calculate your carbon footprint. This has become quite an industry in itself – all the carbon offset businesses offer a way of doing so – and there are endless books and websites that will help calculate the damage you are doing to the environment. Arm yourself with your electricity and gas bills, a calculator, and try the tips from Earthday Network (www.myfootprint.org).

2. Change just one of your lightbulbs to low energy and save yourself 38 kilograms of carbon dioxide.

3. Turn off the lights when you are not using them, something our parents tell us all the time!

4. Try washing your clothes on a cold wash – or if you think that’s a little extreme, at 30 degrees.

5. Cut out the tumble-drying. Line-dry instead (on dry days, of course)

6. Buy a smaller car – and only use it when you really need to.

7. Don’t leave your gadgets, televisions, computers and freeview boxes on standby. Make sure you turn off your phone recharger as soon as it’s finished.”

From the book Green is the New Black by Tamsin Blanchard. I just have to reread the book before giving it back to the wonderful owner. I think it’s been more than three months?

Anyway, I found this wonderful charity shop nearby a few weeks ago. There’s just something magical about second-hand clothes. I think they also accept donations. I’ll have to stop by again this week to show you roughly how it looks like (it’s a charity shop don’t expect tiled floors). Things I bought there are almost brand new, no missing buttons, no holes whatsoever. So go through your closet, take out clothes you have no interest in anymore and donate. Besid es feeling good, you have extra space for new ones. :D

The in thing in my life right now is swapping things. I’ve swapped jeans, mobile phones(twice) and perhaps our boyfriends? Hahaha not funny, we don’t have any except for you know who. Well, the thing is, wearing something that doesn’t belong to us is wayyyy cooler. And environmentally friendly too. I think I’m gonna host a swap party soon with full length mirror and clothes rack for the shopping experience.

Tiny tapir people or anyone related please open a branch in Kuching. I promise I’ll be a loyal customer. Please and thank you.

“Oh My God, my water broke”

I think I need a better water bottle. I think I want a platypus bottle for my birthday.
