ways to conserve energy

Monday, July 11, 2011

I have been in the middle east for almost 8 years now and still I haven’t wrote anything. Now I think is a good time to start and what better of writing is by expressing what I thing we need to do to conserve energy here in the middle east.

1.     Save water

Switch your main valve to middle or quarter opening. This will give you ample supply of water coming out to your faucet and shower head.

Bath tubs are great for relaxing but often waste too much water,.. im not a bath person but I love going to river and sea or swimming pools.

Wash car using bucket is always the best. Sometimes we tend to get too lazy but this is not an excuse.

Plants, they need water so do it early morning and late evening..

Recycle waste water if necessary

8:11 AM 3/22/2011
the day started with a remnant of the cold weather from last night which was easily noticed when you open the window and feel the cold breeze of the approaching summer wind... the change of temperature for the past few days is a hint of change weather. woke up seeing demitri fast asleep,...i was saddened by the thought that maybe baby sue arrived late but when i went out,.. sherwins little princess is fast asleep on thots arms... a sign that maybe had adjusted with her new environment. this is one thing about babies and children... they easily adopt with the surroundings unlike me... it takes a week or two to completely be confident with what is around.
as demitri pleasantly accepted his milk half awake,... i suddenly realized how fragile and precious he is,.. knowing that time files so fast which for sure he will be a teenager soon...sooner or later i might not be able to watch him sleep coz he need his own space!

my first blog..
ive always thought about creating a blog that reflects what i see and feel... issues that does not only affect my feeling but also to my family, friends and the environment.
let me start with tissues and probably the rest of the product that we took out from the tree and environment in general.
i will be blogging about nature, environment and conserving energy and hopefully demitri will read this one and learn from it.

60 Ways To Make Life Simple Again

from http://www.marcandangel.com/2010/11/01/60-ways-to-make-life-simple-again/

Life is not complex.  We are complex.  Life is simple,
and the simple thing is the right thing.
- Oscar Wilde

1. Don’t try to read other people’s minds.  Don’t make other people try to read yours.  Communicate.
2. Be polite, but don’t try to be friends with everyone around you.  Instead, spend time nurturing your relationships with the people who matter most to you.
3. Your health is your life, keep up with it.  Get an annual physical check-up.
4. Live below your means.  Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.  Always sleep on big purchases.  Create a budget and savings plan and stick to both of them.
5. Get enough sleep every night.  An exhausted mind is rarely productive.
6.  Get up 30 minutes earlier so you don’t have to rush around like a mad man.  That 30 minutes will help you avoid speeding tickets, tardiness, and other unnecessary headaches.
7. Get off your high horse, talk it out, shake hands or hug, and move on.
8. Don’t waste your time on jealously.  The only person you’re competing against is yourself.
9. Surround yourself with people who fill your gaps.  Let them do the stuff they’re better at so you can do the stuff you’re better at.
10. Organize your living space and working space.  Read David Allen’s book Getting Things Done for some practical organizational guidance.
11. Get rid of stuff you don’t use.
12. Ask someone if you aren’t sure.
13. Spend a little time now learning a time-saving trick or shortcut that you can use over and over again in the future.
14. Don’t try to please everyone.  Just do what you know is right.
15. Don’t drink alcohol or consume recreational drugs when you’re mad or sad.  Take a jog instead.
16. Be sure to pay your bills on time.
17. Fill up your gas tank on the way home, not in the morning when you’re in a hurry.

44. Spend time with nice people who are smart, driven, and likeminded.
45. Don’t text and drive.  Don’t drink and drive.
46. Drink water when you’re thirsty.
47. Don’t eat when you’re bored.  Eat when you’re hungry.
