Unless the heat in the night become so unbreable for sleeping, we insist only use fan instead of on the heavy electricity consumption aircon (eventhough it's a 4 ticks convertor model). If 1 fan is not enough, consider 2. =)
Even during the warmest night, we set the timing for aircon to shut down at half of our sleeping journey and set the timer for our fan to turn on right after the time aircon is shut down.
With the 24 Hour Segment Timer, you can control multiple timing to switch an appliance on and off at the times set within a daily time period.

3Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
People nowsaday are getting more aware of the environmental issues, global warming has been mentioned almost everyday through all kind of media, it's a hot topic today. However, the number of people who really put those idea into action are insignificant.
Governments are putting more effort to educate the public how recycle is important in the saving our gaia. However, the golden rules of waste management has been generally neglected by the public. The golden rules of waste management means 3R's - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
The sequence is much much more important because wastage come from getting something which you not really need (not a must). You can directly reduce your wastage by not consuming any things that are more than your basic needs. Yet, this is contradicting to the economy development. The deveopment of the country's economy comes from the vast consumptions from the consumer, this create faster pace of business activities, the effects of dollar multiplier are created and boost the economy. It's not likely to strike a balance between economic growth and saving environment because governments cannot afford to ask the consumer stop buying as they are the key to the economic growth. That's why you can only see all advertisement on media trying very hard to lure the buying sentiment of consumers and not persuading you to stop buying.
To reduce, try to differentiate a MUST and a NEED. Eating is a must to give yourself enery, of course, not eating excessively. A collection of branded bags is just a need (not necessary most of the time) which can be replace by one or two decent, durable bag which suit most of the occasions. Remember, every single thing around you are actually extracted from our mother earth's resources, are you fully ultilise them as a must to you? Uderstand the difference ad you will greatly reduce your wastage at the front line.
Reuse is the 2nd stage to avoid resources wastage, you definitely having something that are not using and kept for years, and end up throwing away or for recycle. Share it with the rest who might need it while you're not. Join the SgFreeCycle Group, to give away things you don't need, meantime, you might get things you want for free instead paying for a new one.
Recycle is the final stage before wastage, it should be done last after Reduce and Reuse. How frequently do you clear your rubbish bin, I believe the answer is at least once very 2 days for most household, and definitely is carried by a PLASTIC BAG, do you know the amount of one year rubbish of a household are more than enough to fill up your bathroom. Think twice before throwing your rubbish, some of it can be recycle effectively. You cn actually dispose your recyclable items through National Recycle Program.
Remember, a dirty product cannot be recycled and can contaminated the rest of the products in the bin, take a few extra minuted to rinse out containers and clean off food scraps, to help ensure the recycling process is a success.
Play your part a member of earth, the earth can survive without us, but we can't survive without earth.

Kampung Senang
在柠檬茶氏的极力推荐与倡导下，终于拜访了轻安村 Kampung Senang，一个位于政府组屋底层，以倡导甘榜乡情与精神的慈善团体。第一次的拜访，对于他们的内部运作和活动虽然还不是太了解，但活动中心外的一大片果菜园必定给你留下深刻印象！这果菜园不止让阿公阿嫲重拾昔日甘榜生活，更给在PSP、Xbox下长大的孩子一个体验，蔬菜是从地上种出来而不是从NTUC来的...

Aunty, no plastic bag PLEASE..!!!!
Why NTUC aunty always don't understand my intension to save plastic bag as an effort to be environmental friendly? Why 5 apples for $1.45 still need a plastic to carry which no weighing is required and I'm with my recycle bag? The mindset has to be changed.
Accident (1):
At the cashier counter for payment (including my 5 apples without plastic bag), cashier seems troublesome to carry the apple one by one into my recycle bag, and put all the apples into a small small plastic bag before putting into my recycle bag.
** I, confused **
Accident (2):
At the weighing station for weghing my vege (1x carrot, 1x brocolli, 1x pepper), aunty seems having a habit to put all item in an individual plastic bag. I stopped her and insisted not to use the plastic bag and just place the price tag on the vege itself.
** She, confused **

塑料袋
在台湾的便利店、超市，塑料袋并不是免费的！你要的话，就必须用真金白银去买。因为关系到自己的荷包，就会开始感受它的珍贵、它的可贵。
在这里，不是每个人都会尝试到没有塑料袋的日子。一周一天的“自备购物袋日”是不够的！只有严格的执行并不断的往他们钱包里头戳，才会感到痛！

环保小贴士 (1)
在NTUC买蔬果时，没有必要用不同的塑料袋把不同蔬果个别包起来。尽可能把几种蔬果装在一起拿到柜台过秤，aunty 会在分别过秤后把个别的价格标签同时贴在同一个塑料袋上。
这种质量较差的塑料袋很多时候拿回家以后都会惨遭弃置! 减少家中塑料袋的数量，无形中会改变你的使用习惯，进而减少使用量。

An Inconvenient Truth
一部记录了由美国前副总统戈尔通过Powerpoint的演说形式叙述了二氧化碳如何造成地球暖化，进而解说全球气温升高如何影响你我的生活。这几年个地所遭到的超强台风、暴雨、热浪、骤雪等天灾的侵袭，已是给人类一种讯号，也许更贴切的说是濒临灭绝的丧钟吧！
人类社会的文明进步，永远都弥补不了对于大自然的伤害。任何的伤害都会有个极限，当这个最后的防线被冲破以后，所面对的只有通往灭绝的道路。到时候，地球将再次通过大自然的力量让所有物种结算这个世纪，让所有物种重新回到起点，从头开始...
好怀念小时候的乡村生活，童年的记忆还是停留在用红炮炸蟋蟀的洞穴、用妈妈的裁缝线把一只只蜻蜓的尾巴绑在一起、在夜里用塑料袋把荧火虫抓起来、把Milo"gong3"或牛奶罐（子母牌）割开做灯笼、到小河抓鱼虾蟹（不是赌具哦）、玩masak、还有还有...
住宅区的开发，已经使到原本自然淳朴的乡村完全变了样，锌板屋已经被钢骨水泥所淹没，天气也好象越来越热了。我们这里虽没有任何重大的天灾，但是地球暖化仍然逐渐的影响着我们的生活！如果人类还是选择逃避问题的话，就等着灭亡吧...
** 现在就行动，减少CO2排放吧！
** 这部记录片很讽刺的是由一位经营采矿项目的客户极力推荐给我的！采矿？对，是那种对地球“开刀”却不"包扎伤口"的行业... 也很讽刺的是... 我也是干这行的... :(
