Earth Day




Today is Earth Day.

Starting today, I will be sharing tips and ways in helping save our beloved planet. These ideas may or may not be my proprietary idea, but the important thing is for it to be shared to others.

I’m starting off this series of blog posts with “No Straw Day”. McDonald’s in Hong Kong has a “No Straw Day”. Every Wednesday (or Thursday, I’m not sure of the exact day), no straws are displayed in all of McDonald’s counters. Can you imagine how much straw and plastic saved? This got me thinking, why don’t I make it a no-straw-day everyday? Nice idea, right? Of course, there would be times where we can not refrain from using straws, e.g. when drinking while driving, or when sipping our favorite Frappuccinos. But we can always do away with the straws when dining in or having food to go just to eat it at home. This way, we our doing our share in saving our planet. And we will take it one small step at a time.
