1.  Bring my own bag       
Yes I try my best to use my own bags except sometimes I bought more than I expect, so guilty

2.  Recycle (paper, bottle, etc.)

3.  Power off light/computer when not use       
My house is very dim and using energy saving bulb. But I cannot turn of my computer at night because of my job, thats too bad....

6.  Use energy saving bulb.       
All energy saving now, and why not, save a lot on my bill

7.  Donation       

What else I'm doing now:

- 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

Hope to do in the future:
- I hope I can get an IH induction range, when the price is lower, and more models to choose from =P
- I hope I can change all light bulbs to LED, I saw them in Japan but they are 5000yen per bulb WOW
- I hope I can turn off the A/C when I'm driving, but this could be difficult! But I already promised myself I will never turn on the AC at home since this summer, but then I turned it on once, only once lol
- I hope I can turn off the computer at night after all projects are done~

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)

I brought my own set of cutlery and chopsticks to Japan too!!! I guess I should do it here too, you just reminded me....

You know what's it's not the first time I heard of parents cooking the kid's pet!

Yes I just ordered a whole box of biodegradable bags, I will be so excited if you can join me for the fundraising too!! Let's chat for details on msn then... I am still thinking which organization I should donate the money too, maybe you can give me some ideas too, that will be awesome!!!

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 garabag ...

agree agree, I found that Japanese they are so good at recycling because they produce more than average waste:

1. Too much fancy wrapping and bags.
2. Unnecessary packaging like giving you one ice pack (or even all you can take) if you buy fresh seafood or meat in supermarket
3. They get used to buying pet bottle drinks from vending machines
4. Giving out flyers everywhere
