I tried biking to work for a few days 2 summers ago... just too dangerous.
I do:
1. donate my clothes and household items still in good shape
2. buy green products if available (e.g. house hold cleaning items)
3. buy local organic vegetable and meat if possible
4. pick locally made products over some that's shipped from far away (e.g. local craft works as gifts)
5. buy organic fair trade items (coffee, fair trade cotton t)
6. Educate myself and others (read books, online info..etc)

my neighbour in HK complained... (that's when I was a kid.. and no fear of avian flu)
So they kill one of my chicks... and made stew chicken with chestnut (my fav but I didn't eat any)

- bring my own take out box and my coffee mug.... haha can I use my own bowl when eating at food court?!?!
- I'm now using biodegradable waste bags for my dog, and I am planning to fundraise waste bags next year so that more people can help the environment, not sure how much I could get but I will try my best.
- Eat more veggie and less meat, i guess that at least help a bit when I cannot afford a 100% organic life lol
- Lower the thermostat, mine now is 17 degrees

The Japanese are doing a great job for protecting the environment.  They have to separate their garbage into more than ten different categories.

I was only impress that they allow recycling of the sterofoam container/packing (e.g. use for packing meat/fruits in supermarkets).
BUT they over use packaging and create so much unnecessary garabage....
I won't agree if u said in general Japanese are doing a good job to protect the env.
